The Seed Satchel to Success

I thought I'd never be able to do it, but I did:

Yup. This little high schooler with Redditor writing skills actually managed to get a fuckin' five on AP Lang. 

Honestly, I didn't really feel too confident in my ability to do super well on this exam before taking it. I'd read my sample essays and think: Yeah, these aren't at all like the ones College Board puts out as actual good examples. I felt like my blog writing was just a way for me to tell myself I was getting some writing practice, even if it wasn't actually helping me. 

But looking at this score, maybe it did..? For all I know, this 5 could've been 1 point away from being a 4. A scoring scale this small could mean anything.  

Of course, I'm proud of myself for this. I feel like this fades a lot of (not all) doubt that I was actually O.K. at writing.

 I'm not saying that I am good at writing or that the learning stops here (as cringey as that sounds), I'm just saying that I can do a good enough job at writing to get by.

I feel it's better to be honest about my abilities. While I may have gotten a 5, my writing still needs a ton of work in certain areas. And I think I'm willing to work on that as I continue to write in this blog.

And as I prepare for AP English Literature. Yes, it still has 3 essays. And a lot of books. 

**BTW, I got a fuckin' five on APUSH too. Insanely shocked about that.
