Self Discipline and Determination

In this 12th grade AP English course I have learned a lot about self discipline and self determination. We are now gearing up to leave high school and venture out into the unknown world of college life. We are going to have to make new friends, adjust to new environments, and learn how to keep ourselfs on track through self discipline and self determination.
This course gives us the opportunity to exercise these two traits. We are not expected to always turn in a piece of paper in class, but to challenge ourselves to go the extra mile and create a blog and post our assignments there. We are expected to think in depth about things and invite others to join in the conversation. We are creating a learning network of all the classes and even people outside of our class, and even school.
By not having to bring in a piece of paper, we get a little more space and time in turning in our assignments. Or so some think. Many of us have learned the hard way, that just because we dont have to bring our homework into class, doesnt mean we can do it whenever. We have learned to be responsible in our work and have grown a great deal since August. Thank you Dr. Preston, we are ALMOST ready to leave the nest!
