Reflection On AP And Honors Chemistry

Chemistry was one of my hardest subjects in science ever. AP and Honors Chemistry are subjects that made me question my intelligence many times. The assignments were extremely hard with very little explanations on how to complete them. Test were horrible and made my grade fluctuate constantly. Only thing that I made high marks on was the classwork. Average in classwork always grew because I had help from my teacher and peers. My teacher was a sweet person, but not a very good teacher with large groups. One-on-one teaching was more of her style and students like me benefited from that attention. I loved my experiences in each class wouldn't change anything to save my life. Both class help me understand my weakness and difficulties in chemistry

I was thinking about all the college deans and administrators that would view my transcript. After viewing my transcript, they would be more impressed that I took more challenging course. I thought about all the pros, but never assessed the cons of the course. I was doing great with all my work, but it wasn't up to my high standards that I set in place. While everyone was happy that I had high grades. I was disappointed in myself for not getting better grades. More those ideas circled my brain, my self-worth and confidence was extremely low. Making me feel as if my work was not up to par. My teacher said," I was doing great and should keep up the good work". My classmates told me multiple times that my grades were high enough. I learned that studying should be a top priority for me if I wanted higher grades. I started to buckle down by studying more at home and tutoring after school with my teacher. I finally got the hang of things in Chemistry by second term. From then on, I work day in and out to fix all the work that I turned in with bad grades to improve my overall class average. I completed my goal and passed the state final with high marks. I still struggle with a lot of things, but I tried very hard to exceed my challenges. Finished the class with a 93 as my final grade and I burst into tears. I was finished and my hardwork paid off big
