Near the end of junior year we were choosing our classes for next year and I thought to myself, do I want an easy senior year or a somewhat difficult year with some AP classes. So I decided to take some AP classes to become more prepared for college. The AP classes I chose were Spanish language and psychology. Classes have begun and it has been only a couple of weeks and I came to the quick realization that those AP classes that I was taking were going to be a lot harder than I had expected them to be.
There is a lot of hard work an effort that goes into these classes. Each night for psychology we have to read a decent amount from the textbook and for Spanish we study at least 20-30 vocabulary words a night. The expectations for these classes is much higher than those of my other classes because we take the AP tests in May and if you do well on those you get college credit. And I think those credits can help me out once I get to college. My sister thought the same thing, until it came time to start college.
My older sister, Maddy, just left for her freshman year of college. She took an AP math class her senior year but she didn't take a foreign language. Since she didn't get the credit for foreign language, she had to take one this year. I guess she didn't put much thought about what AP classes to take as well as I did.
So, I'm glad I decided to take some difficult classes this year because I hope that after all the tests are over that I come out an accomplished student with a new and better set of skills to help me in college for the next four or more years.
