TOW #30: Letter to a New APELC Student

Dear New APELC Student,
            Congratulations on your decision to take APELC! You are a student in one of the most important classes in your high school career. The knowledge that you will learn in this class has the ability to help you in all of your classes and future tasks. You will be taught how to write correctly, and you will see major improvement as the year progresses.
            The beginning of the school year may be difficult, but it is very important to not give up. If you make the most out of all of your assigned work, you will learn a lot from the interesting texts and you will improve your writing more quickly. Even though there may be a lot of work at times, and the work may be very difficult, it is important to remember that the work is there to help you improve as a student. You also have to keep in mind that the grades that you receive in the beginning of the class will not be your grades at the end of the school year. There will be tremendous improvement in your grades as you grow as a writer during the course of the class.
            APELC is much more enjoyable to be in than your other junior year classes. Almost every class is setup like a discussion in APELC providing you with the ability to ask questions and learn from other students. Do not feel shy to share out your ideas and ask questions for Mr. Yost and the class. If you ever feel like you are having trouble in the class do not be afraid to approach Mr. Yost; he is always there to help you. Mr. Yost makes himself available for his students if you ever have a concern or question that could use his help.
            Do not stress about the AP Exam. The class prepares you more than enough for the test. If you put forth your best effort in this class you have the ability to expand your knowledge, greatly improve upon your writing ability, and have a great time in APELC.

Sincerely,
Austin Brush
