AP English Literature and Composition. It was the first English class I took where I couldn’t just coast by with minimal effort - my teacher really pushed me to improve my writing by offering brutally honest constructive criticism. I found that my writing improved so much in the course of a year and my ability to analyze texts in order to construct effective and concise arguments matured considerably. My writing became far more nuanced.

AP World History. Lots and lots and lots of work. Endless notes. Multiple chapters to review for exams. I really had to step up my time management which I am very thankful for, because I’ve found that a lot of my humanities and social science courses require large amounts of content to be read and reviewed in short amounts of time. What comes to mind right away is my International Relations course I took in the spring where I had to read 300 pages in a week in order to study for a very detail intensive midterm examination that I ended up acing. I’d probably be stressed out of my mind had my 16 year not already been put through the ringer by WHAP, lol.
