ANSWER THE PROMPT

By definition the term AP aside from meaning "advanced placement" it also means "answer the prompt", a challenge that multiple teenagers have taken upon themselves to answer. Teachers spend one whole year preparing their students for what is known as one whole month for a test that for many is like life and death. Anyways the first time I attempted to answer the prompt was last years but I failed, I received a 2. I was so freaken pissed because I worked my ass off to prepare for that one test and I failed. Though this my destiny has tripled. I will try to answer 3 AP tests that have a series of questions. I just dislike the idea of having one person read my essay and only understands what is present in the booklet that sits in front of the reader. I understand that the readers have a countless number of essays, but what do they know about the endless nights or the head breaking essays that students had to write or understanding that those essays were a result of hard work. Furthermore, the challenge it was to be able to write to certain standards. It is worthless for the College Board to even promise to give students credit because the reality of test taking is that not everyone is a test taker. Most of the time students who pass the test end up passing it because of luck, and luck should not be rewarded. Why can't the College Board review students past essays and grade them off of that, there are ways to check for plagiarism. Anyways by the time that most students enter college more than half have forgotten what they learned in 10th or ll th grade. College Board should consider change!

Like yesterday

I can not believe that I am ending my junior year. Although the year flew by quite quick it feels like the same day that I started. As I walked down the hall ways for the last time of South East High School as a Junior, all I could think is the future that awaits in the next year, where will I be, what will I be doing, will I be happy? Will in the next years seem like a mind filled with unfixed thoughts and lingering ideas? As this year comes to an end all I can say is that I am thankful for surviving. I was able to pass to all  my classes and I became a pro at late nights(thanks to the Mindy Project). As this summer rolls I hope to initiate my new projects and become the pioneer of a non-profit organization that will one day flourish. Though right now quite honestly I feel this impossible, only enduring my WHY will help me accomplish this idea. I do not understand, how I can be able to be fund this project, how I can make big artists want to share their talent, how to interest people to fight for a cause that does not pertain to them. My only hope is that next year I will have the answers to these questions.
