As a senior taking AP and Honor courses it gets harder to understand these courses. AP English Lang is one of the most difficult classes I&#8217;ve taken. I loved learning but I could never keep the information taught to me. It was almost like it went in one ear and out the other. I was getting D&#8217;s on quizzes I thought I could ace. I had to find a way to make this information stick to my brain. So on my own I decided to take it a step further. I went to the store and got 2 notebooks. One notebook I took to school to write my notes in and study with. The other notebook I kept at home by my computer to take notes online and study that as well. For days in and out I would use this studying technique. It was hard because I&#8217;ve never been one to study. Things normally came natural to me when learning but for some reason this class made me work hard. But I knew if I worked hard enough it would pay off in the end. My mother always taught me to work hard for what I want, and what I wanted was to get a good grade in that class. So after a couple weeks of studying I took another quiz. I got it back and got a C+. I was so excited. It&#8217;s no A but it&#8217;s an improvement and that&#8217;s what really matters to me. So I kept studying, kept working, kept improving. I started getting A&#8217;s and B&#8217;s on my quizzes and class work. It was something I am still so proud of and a technique I still use to teach to other kids to help as well.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/stold.wpengine.com\/scholarship\/\">Vote For Casey&#8217;s Essay<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>School gets harder and harder each year you&#8217;re in it.
