AP Classes In High School
Throughout my school life, school has been very easy for me. After 2nd grade, I started to like school, and I also started achieving high on tests and getting straight A’s. There was a time when I was afraid to take the next step of education. It during course registration at middle school.
During course registrations at my middle school, I was advised to take AP classes in high school. AP classes were rigorous classes that challenged you and taught you things at a college-level, unlike the ordinary High School Curriculum. Originally, I denied myself. An obstacle I had at that time was not taking the next step because of the fear I had of college classes. It wasn’t that my family was financially unable. My family was able to pay for the AP
exams, but I was afraid of moving forward in my High School path. I’ve heard so many rumors about AP classes and how hard they were. MY friend’s older sibling took an AP classes, and according to my friend, he said that his sibling had kept on complaining about how hard AP classes were. His sibling nearly failed the AP class, passing with a D, and received a score of 1 on the AP exam. After hearing this, I felt very intimidated. I did not want myself to go through any torture. Although I was a straight-A’s student taking Honors Courses, I didn’t want to take any challenging classes that would hurt my GPA. I went to seek advice from my friends, and some of them were being pessimistic and said: “You can’t take that chance because I know you’ll regret and fail!”. This comment had also built up my fear of AP classes. Upon the advice of my friends, I went to my mother for advice. My mother, optimistic, buoyant, and sanguine is a person that would always count on me and build my confidence. Of course, my mother noted that I had to take another step in my education and start getting myself exposed to challenging classes. This would not only benefit myself, but also make the transition from high school to college easier.
