College Essay There are not any extracurricular activities, which I have to done, that have such a challenge. But after my first year of biology in the 9th grade year, I decided to take AP Biology the next year. Because the teacher did not think that I was not capable of taking this class, he did not sign me up for that class. Therefore my hardheaded self decided to talk to my parents and get a waiver to take that class. I thought that an AP class couldn’t be that harder than the regular, so I got into the class. When I got in my first AP class, I realized that I was one of three sophomores in a class of senior and some juniors. The class really intimidated me. My other two classmates were really very smart and handled the class with a breeze. Because they were doing well, I felt bad and uncomfortable in that class. I felt out of place because I was a 10th grader taking a college level class and was the only one not doing an average job in that class. I felt lonely and very stupid i! n that class. I responded, half way through the year, by making this class the first priority over any other classes. I worked harder and studied hard for biology and didn’t care about the rest. I made sure that I fulfill the goal of the class, which is to earn college credit for that class, and I did. Because the class intimidated me, I did a bad job overall in my second year of high school. There is no doubt that if I had to face this challenge again, I would not back down in taking this class over again. I have no regrets on taking the class, but I have regrets in my approach to the class. I would stay focused in the class from the beginning and not take AP classes very lightly, they are what they sound college level classes. That class has encouraged me take more AP classes and not to back down from intimidation. I don’t think I would do anything different. The reason for this is because if it were not for my first AP class experience, I would not be taking a lot if any AP classes during my high school career. In my junior year, I took AP Chemistry and did a fairly good job in that class and got college credited. This year also, I decided to take four other AP classes. Bibliography:
