Eagerness to learn, attention to details, and willingness to put in required effort and time, all qualities I wish to continue to practice as a student in AP English 12. As a student of organization and willingness to participate in classroom discussions and interactions, I believe those attributes of me as a student set me up for success in this class. My enthusiasm in learning has been a leading factor in my decision to apply for this rigorous course my senior year. While there are other options available this is the course best suited for me due to my attention to details and readiness to dedicate time and effort into this class. As an AP English student I am mainly interested in continuing to practice and develop reading and writing skills …show more content…
Through this class, I want to further analyze poetry and works of fictional literature and develop more stills in doing so in order to better prepare me for college reading expectations. My strengths as a high school student include my personality qualities, approachability, and inclusion in sports. Throughout my time at Stratford I have quickly adapted to the pace of this institution by joining several clubs and academically driven societies. Out of the classroom I am participating in a sport I had not done for quite a while. I value having a balanced schedule and not giving too much time to out-of-school activities while also having time to form connections outside of the classroom.

Fleming would hopefully say that I have a foundation that is solid and a work ethic fit for AP / college-level classes. Though I struggle with issues such as passive voice and not fully articulating the words and details I intend to write, I continue to strive towards fixing those issues with help. I believe that Mrs. Fleming would say I belong in AP 12 as I continuously attempt to participate in class discussions and engagements with others about class material. During class, I serve as an addition rather than a disruption as I kept side conversations to a minimum and commit energy to complete assignments thoroughly. I complete assignments all of the time to be prepared for discussions about the material during the class period. Preparation, completion, and understanding of the material are important to me as it has a direct impact on my grades. My grades are something that has always been important to me as I began to apply pressure on myself about them at an early age. Mrs. Fleming would hopefully say I would be a solid addition to an AP 12
