AP (Absolutely Poop)
Here is a dumb story, but again, I was bored, so I wrote it anyway.
It all started freshman year. Sitting in Mr. Reta's Earth Science Honors class,
I would look at the daily assignments on the whiteboard. Check and Challenge,
Key Terms, etc. But what really intrigued me at the time was what was to the left of our
'baby' assignments. AP Biology assignments. At the time, I had absolutely zero
idea of what AP was and what it could do for someone. Simply stated: I should
have never learned. After learning about the class and the program, I began to
think. Wow. I need to get in. I need to do good. I need to be the best. Then
suddenly, in second semester Earth Science Honors I was significantly
overachieving, I had achieved a 100% at one time even. Zooming to sophomore year
now. In AP Bio, my first ever AP class. I thought I did pretty good, and I
received an A. Then the AP test comes and goes. Instead of diligently studying
for hours to review the course material, I instead journey with Eric "Bone crusher"
"Never does shit" Saam to Barnes and Nobles. Instead of studying like
we claimed we would, we instead do nothing, he even, and I remember perfectly,
grabbed my chair out from under me whilst I tried to sit, leaving me crying on
the ground. Ok, not really crying. So now its May and I take the test. I really had no idea what
to expect. I remember the multiple choice being easy and the essays difficult
(well, at least for me). Then one sad July afternoon, I receive my AP score, it
simply said 02 Biology 4. Awhhhhhh. But I wasn't terribly distraught
actually...............I thought it was fine because at most universities I
would be receiving college credit. Little did I know that when school started
that I would be crying inside because the "five" that seemed so
elusive to me, was easily attained by numerous students in my class. Even some
dumb (well, I guess I should say lazy, cool people) got 5's, or at least tied me
with a four. Eric, in the end, sure thought he was special, he achieved a mere
3, yet gloated like his mother just passed a kidneystone. He was so happy to
receive a letter from some dirty (probably fake) university. Well, simply
stated, I was seriously angry. I thought at first that my score was good, then I
began to think it was average, then below average, then after finding out how I
blew it in comparison to others, I thought I failed it horribly. I almost cried.
No I'm not a nerd, I'm just competitive. So I made it a goal to do good on this
years AP's. Well, blessed by some great teachers, such as Levine and Jensen, I
didn't do that good. After taking 6 AP tests (actually I only took .5 of
physics, so 5.5) I feel, I feel, I feel, I feel.....well, nothing. Sorry, but
school is gay, tests are game, and I'm predicting right now, before anyone else
can say it, that college admissions is going to be gay. And no, I do not mean,
gay as in 'overly pleasing and fun'. So the moral of the story is this: (yea,
don't you wish all stories ended this way, that would take away some essay
prompts from teachers) don't worry about nonsense, take a step back and say,
"is this really going to affect my life?" My tip to you is, don't
study, just visit my site frequently. Peace out, and have a nice summer, school
year, and l i f e.
....I'm so pumped up right about now
