AP United States History
"AP United States History is a college course that can be taken sophomore year here at our school.", I remember Mrs. Andermann saying as she passed around the AP petition forms to the people in our class that raised their hand for the piece of paper. Only six people in my class asked for the petition. "This is a highly selective class and it moves at a very fast pace so please don't be disappointed if you do not get in. These petitions are due the last day of exams. Do not forget them or you will regret it!", Mrs. Andermann advised the class. All of her 'advise' was making me really nervous so I wrote my name down on the petition and put it in my World History binder.
A week later it was 7:50 A.M. in Mrs. Andermann's classroom and my class and I were preparing to take our exam. Mrs. Andermann suddenly reminded us about the petition and I had completely forgotten about it! I asked her if I could bring it to her tomorrow and she said yes. I ended up forgetting about the petition until the last day of exams. On the morning of my last exam I text messaged my mom before school asking to get the petition, sign it, and bring it with her when she comes to pick me up. She did just that and I brought it to Mrs. Andermann.
Fast forward to January 19, 2012. After soccer I got home and I checked my school email and I had five emails but one really stood out to me. It didn't say who it was from but the subject said, 'AP Petition- US history.' I got really nervous, excited, and anxious so I opened the emailed and it said, "Congratulations! Your petition for AP United States History has been accepted for the 2012-2013 school year. Thank you, Mrs. Andermann."I was so relived and excited! I told my my mom and dad and they were beaming and congratulating me. I told my two friends who are currently sophomores and both taking AP US History, Megan and Lance, and they both sent me emoji icon's of party balloons and messages saying,"CONGRATS LAUREN!!" I am so excited for AP US History because I have worked very hard for this opportunity and I am so thankful and blessed to be given it.

Congrats Lauren! I'm glad you showed the initiative to go for a college level class. I wish I had as much bravery and courage that you possess. I pray for you success!
