“Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It’s quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure. You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn’t at all. You can be discouraged by failure or you can learn from it, So go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because remember that’s where you will find success.”
– Thomas J. Watson
I’ll leave you with this quote. It not only expresses the true sentiment of AP Lang, but it should motivate and inspire you to enroll in the course! Lang is a thrilling adventure around the World of Rhetoric, honing writing skills you may have thought didn’t exist. Yes, there will a few challenging nights when you’re sullenly eating an extra large cup of procrastination and mindlessly typing a research paper, but the end result is a more confident you! Unlike factoring polynomials and memorizing the Spanish word for “mountain range,” writing is a timeless and classic skill that will always hold a presence in your life. No matter what path you take in the future, it is always helpful to be a great writer! And AP Lang just does that! So go ahead, take the risk and reap the results.
