There are many things I wish to accomplish while I am in AP English. Among them the three that stand out the most are: getting a good grade, learning enough to pass the AP exam, and improving my writing capabilities.
My first and probably foremost goal for this class is to achieve a good grade. To many people getting a good grade is an obvious goal when taking an AP class because there is no point in taking an AP class if you cannot get a good grade on it. While this is an obvious goal it is not an easy one. I know, I procrastinate and I usually forget to do homework and other forms of assignments. However, I will try my best this year to get a good grade in this class and all my other classes as well.
My next goal is also one that many people would probably choose as well, learning enough to pass the AP exam. This is a very important goal as well. If I pass the AP exam I will not have to waste time and money in college because I have already passed the AP exam. However, this will also not be a simple achievement. An AP exam is quite difficult and I will have to learn many things to pass with a 3 or higher. My reading comprehension is very high and I am quite proud of it, however my writing capabilities and grammar sense are very lacking. I feel if I try hard, I will be able to overcome my weakness and get a good score on the AP exam.
My last goal is to improve my writing capabilities. As I have stated earlier, my ability to write is very bad. It is severely lacking and I am having trouble even writing this essay. I usually tend to go off topic, write a non-cohesive essay, or use poor grammar. I am sure, however, now that I am taking AP English and AP US History where I will write many essays over the year my ability to quickly and efficiently write a good quality essay will increase. Until then I will try my hardest and give it my all.
