10 Reasons Why You Don't Want to Miss Out

10. You will learn to face your fears, whether it be turning in your first SOAPSTone or just talking with Ms. Serensky you will learn to face your fears in this class.

9. You will learn how to write good college essays, I think this was one of the biggest perks of taking this class, Ms. Serensky actually sits down with you and helps you plan out an excellent college essay.

8. You will learn how to manage stress. This without a doubt the most stressful class I have ever taken, and it has lead me to some serious break throughs in managing stressful situations.

7. You will learn to budget your time, and eventually how to have a life when having one seems impossible. This leason is imperative for college, because if you are going to be successful, you're going to have to study, but you need to know how to have a goodtime too.

6. You will learn the game of life, or as we call it, the game of simultaneous disappointment. Serensky will teach you the hard lesson that life really just is not fair and that sometimes you just have to be prepared for disappointment.

5. You will learn how to write. Just know this, for those of you who read this and think "Oh come on, I already know how to write," you're wrong, and if you think you're right... well then you're just an annoying narcissist.

4. You will learn how to participate in an English Class without sparknotes. To succeed in English you are either going to have to learn to actually do the work, or find a far more complex method of cheating (if thats even possible which I doubt).

3. You will eventually become friends with the most intimidating teacher in the school. Whether or not you're actually friends you probably will not really know, but you will atleast think you are friends and thats all that matters.

2. You will get to laugh at everyone else when they have absolutely no idea why you are speaking weirdwhen you are actually receiting quotes. Now you know why we were laughing at you.

1. I know it's surprising, but you will have fun. I do not know the source but when I look back on my past two years of AP English I know I have had fun and that it was completely worth it, it is a lot of work, but Ms. Serensky knows how to keep your spirits up.

  1. Chase, you really sum up all of the emotions associated with the class. I too feel that I have learned to successfully manage more stress than I ever imagined. In addition, I cannot believe how much fun I have had in AP English and how much I will miss it.
