<p>@Pedestrian - At my school it’s quite common for candidates running for city/town mayor to recruit kids (usually from the APUSH class) to help them with campaigns. I know a graduated senior who did that in 11th grade and wanted to major in poli sci - he got into Cornell but declined it for Georgetown.</p>
<p>There’s JSA, which is a summer program focused on debate and politics, and also a program in Texas that’s focused on debate and speech. Forgot what it was called, but I’ll let you know if I remember!</p>
<p>What debate are you involved in? I’m an LD-er! (: You could always start a debate team in your school and take trips to Yale and Harvard and Wake Forest and stuff for invitationals which are pretty impressive on resumes if you win and are also super fun!</p>
<p>Oh I’m a policy and congress person…yes it’s like death sometimes. My school does have a debate club and its quite active. I enter local tourneys. We might go to Emory this year. Know but Haven’t considered Harvard and Yale yet. Went to ncfl last year for policy…got killed hahha</p>
<p>haha I think like two of my friends know which college they want to go to lol I already know where I want to go too actually, one of my teachers graduated from the same college! so cool </p>
<p>I had my sophomore year first quiz yesterday and got a 9/10! I studied my butt off and I’m actually proud of that grade haha I have another quiz tomorrow and I hope I do well!</p>
<p>@imhkim - Congrats! I didn’t do as well as I hoped I would on my AP World quiz. ):</p>
<p>What would you guys do if you emailed someone 2 days ago but they haven’t replied yet? (This was to my flute teacher…if you saw my other post. ): )</p>
<p>@catchinginfinity talk to them in person? Did you explain yourself in the email because maybe they just feel bad about jumping to the wrong conclusion.</p>
<p>@Jawmess - Yeah, I tried to, and I thought the email was pretty positive…I also asked when I should come to lessons next week, because she told me her schedule would change once school started. So I can’t really see her in person unless she replies. Hopefully she does, and the reason why she isn’t replying is because she hasn’t seen the email yet…</p>
<p>@catchinginfinity: Thanks! You have a lot more chances so your one quiz won’t hurt you that much! and it’s an AP class so it is tough.
And sorry to hear that again if you know her phone number, call her! or I would just wait. She still probs wants to teach you even after a small crisis, like she wouldn’t want to lose a student over a misunderstanding and stuff. Hope everyone works out :)</p>
<p>My class had 8 practice PSAT questions for a warm up today. Everyone got less than 5 except me and some other kid. My teacher was right when she said our state was ranked 47 in the educational department</p>
<p>@catchinginfinity- haha np! @Jawmess- don’t worry! your state doesn’t matter; it’s you that matters! hahaha and keep practicing and you’ll improve!</p>
<p>I actually did really bad with SAT when I first started but then I got better as I attend SAT prep classes each week (I actually went to one today!) So don’t worry too much yet :)</p>
<p>and to the one who talked about his/ her ap bio class- I actually did a bio lab today with like these hellgrammites (they’re these really weird bugs and alive too) and my teacher told us that if we can put the alive bug on our hand, then he would give us extra credit hahahah.</p>
<p>^ Same, the first time I took it, I scored like 1900…I only went to a 4-week prep class, but it definitely improved my score by a lot.</p>
<p>I think one thing that helped the most was taking the test over and over again (we did it at the end of every week). The teachers helped, but it all really came down to practice.</p>
<p>1900 was your first score? omg that’s so good! mine was 1720 and I was really happy with that score LOL But I totally agree with you- practice is good! okay I know this is cliche but practice makes perfect :p</p>
<p>I am actually a bit sad today because I had a pop quiz for history and I got a 1/5 which translates to a 20% I just don’t like how my history grade will be a 20% for a while until my teacher inputs hw grades and other stuff and I kinda wanted a strong fresh new start… But I guess it’s okay… it’s only a really small quiz grade!</p>
but some of them agree</p>
actually, one of my teachers graduated from the same college! so cool
