More often than not, my high school English classes are disgustingly boring. I can honestly say that this year, that is not the case. So far I have thoroughly enjoyed the work we have done (minus writing the essay). I feel like my writing skills lack in more areas than one, and at times that greatly influences my writing. I hope that with this class I can improve my current weaknesses and build onto my strengths. As I read the sample AP essays I quickly realized my essay was horrible. I’m not embarrassed to admit that. However, some of the sample essays were garbage. My cat could have probably written a better one.
Apart from the writing, I’m kind of psyched about the huge amount of reading that’s required in the class. I have yet to start my independent reading book, mostly because I can’t make a decision on what to read. TOO MANY AMAZING OPTIONS, not that I’m complaining. Since I’m in a class and probably shouldn’t be working on this right now, I will depart. Adios :)
This reflects my thoughts exactly, except for the part about not being able to decide on an independent reading book because i've already finished mine. ( :D )My essay was also pretty bad and I hope that Mr. Mullins can help me to become better at writing essays at an AP level. I know that I could be capable I just need some more guidance.
