I am taking this AP English class because I want to still continue to challenge myself with tougher classes and prepare myself for college. I am excited to deal with the blog this year. It is something new and I can catch onto it quickly. I am not nervous about anything coming into this year. I am more relived to come into this class after what happened last year.

My goals for this year are to get a 4.0. I have two AP classes this year and I would really like to get A's in both of those classes. I also would like to be able to read the books assigned to us with out the mind set of not wanting to read them. I also want to get better at writing essays. my last goal for this year is to get a Scholarship for softball to a 4 year college.

This year will help me improve in my knowledge and thinking because like sophmore year we were taught by you to think outside the box and to use critical thinking. It makes you want to learn more about a subject or move around to other subjects and learn about them. Also i am sure we will be reading a lot of books and when you read you gain more knowledge about different eras, ect. Also learning vocabulary helps with gaining peoples attention when the listen to your speech or read your essays.
