Ever since the second grade, I’ve consistently started every conclusion in every essay with the redundant yet effective “in conclusion”. I’ve also consistently gotten As on all my papers. Childish habit or genius go-to? Your choice.

In every grade, it seems that teachers love showing kids what to do by showing them what not to do. Usually, it’s effective, but as a senior, I’ve come to realize how subjective most of it is.

Subjective as in it doesn’t really matter and actually kind of messes up my rhythm. Ya feel?

90% of my papers have been written the day before they were due. The other 10% required a rough draft.

(The AP Language and Literature exams both require three essays to be written in 2 hours. So, actually, my last minute essays have given me great practice!)

I still don’t really know how to use predicates, but I do know that SOHCAHTOA saved my booty in geometry.

Like the teacher wanted, I never talked in some of my classes, but unfortunately I now remember nothing significant from that class.

If I wasn’t born with such a good memory, I’d probably be a dropout by now. I apologize for deceiving my teachers and frustrating my classmates. I did pretend to study for the wellbeing of all.
