Being in dual credit was already such an amazing opportunity. My first dual credit class was very difficult and I barely passed. This school year was a lot different. I was actually able to communicate with my teacher and there were so many more assignments rather than just essays. Being able to pass this class with an "A" seemed impossible to me at first. I would have never suspected that I could achieve such an amazing grade because of my experience from the prior class. With that being said, I truly feel that if it wasn't for you (Ms. Bowdoin), I wouldn't be able to be as proud of myself. I appreciate you, and I would like to say thank you.

Choosing this course was one of the best decisions I made throughout my high school year. I feel this course has prepared me for my transition to college. I have gained so many skills and learned valuable lessons that I will use in college. I can honestly say that I have became a better writer and I’m able to analyze texts better. I’ve learned that with hard work and perseverance I can do just about anything. Yes, I may have turned in a couple assignments late but as the year come to an end I’ve gotten better with it. This class may have chewed me up and spit me back out a couple times but I continued to work even harder. I am proud of the work I have done and the effort I put into this class. I am also thankful for a teacher that is understanding and genuine. Thank you Ms.Bowdoin!

When I first entered this course, I was very intimated. I have never been pushed to the level I have been pushed to this year. Looking back to the papers I wrote during my sophomore, I am proud at the improvement I have shown. Writing about Jeffree Star and other youtubers, to writing about abortion and totalitarian governments. This course will always be my favorite since it has made me mature not only in my writing but also in my way of thinking. I am a overall more well-rounded and Open-minded person due to the materials and assignments. In addition, has made me more confident in my writing and ability to conversate. Thank you Ms.Bowdoin!

I never thought I would write as much as I have the last couple of months. I never was much of a writer, and when I did I never scored well. However, over the last couple of months, I’ve seen myself become a better writer. I still struggle with it. I write a lot of run-ons and can’t do punctuation, but I have still seen improvement. I’ve also grown to like writing. I kinda use to hate it since I was bad at it, but now I really like it. :)

At the beginning of August, I did not think it was possible to pass this class. As a whole, it seemed very hard and frightening. I had no idea how to write or even format an essay. So I considered dropping the class even before it started. I realized that I could not be running away from difficult challenges and ended up taking it. I am glad I did because as this spring semester closes, I have successfully passed and completed this class with a surprisingly good average.

Back in August, I never thought I would be able to pass the class. When I saw that I was going to take dual credit English it frighten me since it seemed difficult to pass. As class started it was hard at first which made me almost drop the class. But slowly I managed to get used to the pace of it which made it a lot easier. Now I am glad I took the chance to stay in the course since I ended up passing it with a good average. In addition, my writing skills improved significantly since last year. I would have never though my writing would change so fast. Also with passing the class, I am glad I pushed myself to the finish line. I am so happy I didn't give up as if I did I would have not seen my improvements.

This class the one who took out the best of me this school year. It was challenging but not impossible. I feel very accomplished ending the school year with two of the most important courses for my first year of college and getting them out of the way before being enrolled in the fall. The class consisted of a lot of writing assignments I didn't think I was prepared for but indeed, I now know that I am. I believe I improved dramatically with the help of Ms. Bowdoin! Thank you for all your help this school year from receiving feedback to passing your class.

When I first found out I was taking this class it was kind of nerve-racking. Never have I thought I was going to write papers and papers of work. I would struggle to write a simple essay in my sophomore year, but now I can write it out easily. This class has taught me many things thanks to Ms. Bowdoin. I feel like we as students overthink too many things. This spring semester has gone by fast and it's been fairly easy writing papers. However, at the beginning of the semester, it was not. Although I do not prefer writing, this class has improved my writing a lot! Ms. Bowdoin always says, "just look at where you first started to now." It is true, compare to my very first paper to now, it is completely different. Thank you, Ms. Bowdoin.

When I first learned that I was in a college course class I was instantly nervous about how the school year was going to go. I guess the idea of this class being at around a college level scared me at first because obviously I had no idea what a college class was going to be like. I instantly thought "Oh my god, I'm going to fail.. Isn't this course supposed to be super hard??" And though English was one of my stronger subjects I thought that I would completely fail the essays and presentations. But after so many months in this class it actually wasn't as bad as I thought. Of course it was challenging at times but I was able to manage quite well during this class and maintain around a B average. Of course when I get accepted to college I think the classes will be on a more advanced level but I think this class was a good intro into what college classes might throw at me. I will admit I did procrastinate quite a lot even though I said I would work on it but I managed to pull through and submit my assignments on time. I just wanna thank Ms. Bowdoin for reassuring us that as long as we put in the work we'll do just fine. I've improved my vocabulary and the way I write thanks to her and this class.

One thing I didn't think I'd be able to accomplish was learning MLA format and citations. It also seemed so complicated because there was a ton of of requirements. Especially for the articles citations I had trouble figuring out the spacing and format for my essays. I also didn't think I'd be able to concentrate and do my assignment taking this class virtual but I learned how to manage my time. I have learned to learn MLA format and all its requirements and it's been easier to do since August. I love my grade for this class and I'm really proud on all my work I've turned in for this class. You are a great teacher Ms. Bowdoin, thank you. :D

This was my first, and only Dual Credit class in  my HS experience. I was very intimidated from the horror stories of previous students. But surprisingly, it was quite the opposite!  I struggled with my writing but with this course, it immensely improved. Because this is a college class, I now know how to write a decent college paper and will use it for when I go to university this fall. I have become much more confident with my writing abilities! Thank you Ms. Bowdoin!!!

When hearing how much you would have to write for this class, it was pretty intimidating. I knew I was going to have to write a lot in eventually, but it is crazy that I did all of that, especially the analysis part. I always struggled looking for the deeper meanings in books, and looking for literary devices or what to write about. I don't think I will be as scared when I have to write even bigger papers for college. Its definitely motiving to write. The year went by fast, and I want to say that I have improved. I dreaded writing essays, but now its more like a needle prick. Thank you Ms. Bowdoin for putting me in Dual Credit, it is a nice change from constant multiple choice practices.

# data[].attributes.body
In August, I was scared that I wouldn’t do good in this course but I still went in with high hopes. I didn’t think I was going to be able to do MLA citations well and I did struggle for a while but found myself understanding as the months went by. By the second semester, I felt more confident in my ability to write essays, talk about themes/characterization in stories, when before I wouldn’t even had attempted it. I watched myself grow as a student in this class and I also was able to work with other smart students who were also growing as students and I believe that’s due to the help of Ms.Bowdoin. (:

# data[].attributes.body
I didn’t think I would be able to write so much and then use proper citations. It was difficult at first to write so many long essays at times because some where hard to write about. I do still need help with my grammar because i believe it’s still at a middle school level. Overall this course was not very hard to pass because in the beginning I thought I would fail and have to drop it.

# data[].attributes.body
When this school year started, I was already feeling overwhelmed and stressed because of Covid and other things. When I realized I had college classes, I immediately thought I was gonna fail. Once I saw I was doing good, I started to think it wasn't going to be so bad. I really do think this class has helped me improve as a writer as before, i couldn't even write a good introduction to any paper. Now, even though i still need some improving, I can write a paper confidently and know that i'll do good. It wasnt all me either, as the way Ms. Bowdoin taught and organized everything really helped out. So thank you Ms. Bowdoin for helping me learn to write better!

# data[].attributes.body
When I was told I was getting another Dual Credit class I wanted to drop it, but decided ultimately not too. I was able to develop new writing skills, and this is big because I haven't developed new skills since my 2nd year of high school. I was able to use these skills universally across anywhere. I was able to make 500-700 word essays seem like nothing, and I was able to analyze topics. I was also given the chance to read a new book, and I was hooked on it. I would also learn it was getting a movie adaptation soon as well. Overall, this has been one of those dual credit classes where I was able to learn important info, and one of those classes where the teacher actually directs, shows students what to do, and finally actually teach them. I want to thank you for helping us anyway you can Ms. Bowdoin, and I wish you luck in your career.

At the beginning of this course I was nervous and scared, but now I feel more confident. This course as pushed me to improve in ways I didn't know. I feel good about completing this course before I go to college. I fell like I've learned a lot and improve in many things.

# data[].attributes.body
At the beginning of this course I was excited on getting another dual credit course and was ready for the challenge. I have learned so much throughout the course and have accomplished a lot. With my writing& format improving tremendously I’m glad to take it along with me when I go to college. Furthermore, this course pushed me to the max in a good way and I’m glad to finish with a passing grade.

When I first started this school year and saw that I had two dual credit classes in my schedule I was a bit overwhelmed with the thought of not being able to pass. However, there was another part of me that was thrilled to have qualified for such a great opportunity. Throughout the year I was able to see my growth in writing and in time management, something that I would struggle with beforehand. Some assignments were a bit of a challenge especially the ones with such a high word count. This course brought out a side of me that is determined to exceed my own expectations.

# data[].attributes.body
At the beginning of this year, I was nervous but excited to be taking dual credit . I thought that I wasn't prepared enough to take this class especially during the pandemic and other personal issues, but honestly I have seen improvement from the first semester to now. This class use to intimidate me, but now it has taught me to discover more & to be more assertive with my work. This class showed me to not give in so easily and to keep pushing through. It has also restored my confidence in my knowledge by being able to pass a college course as a high school student. I'm glad I chose to stay in this class. Thank you for pushing me!

# data[].attributes.body
At the beginning of the year I did really want to be in this class, but I also was coming in not knowing what to truly expect. As I had only heard how hard the class was but I still wanted to come in with a clear mind and not get in my head before I even started. But truly It was a challenge as I don't think I am the strongest writer and have so much to improve in. This year I do feel like I've improved some what in my writing and done lengthy wittings that feel impossible now feel some what possible. This class has also been a good entry way in to college and how it works knowing that I can , and that I can do better and can do it if I truly just do it. Thank you.

# data[].attributes.body
In the beginning when I found out I was taking this class I was excited and nervous. I didn't think I would be able to pass some assignments during the year like making a paper over 1,000 words or giving and receiving feedback that could actually help my writing. This school year has taught me so many new skills I can use in my reading, analyzing, and writing. I never would have thought I could pass some challenging assignments. This class has helped me manage my time, think outside of the box, and most importantly to work hard. Thank you Ms. Bowdoin.

# data[].attributes.body
When I began taking this class I had the intention of only getting my credit for college but it became so much more that. I learned a lot of things that will be beneficial for me in college, and being completely honest I learned more about writing essays good in this class than any of the English classes before.

# data[].attributes.body
At the beginning of the school year, I was nervous. I thought I wasn't good enough for this class I thought that I was not good enough for this class. ad over the time I realized I was always capable of succeeding in this course, I just had to learn to face my fears. I accomplished things i didn't think I would ever be able to. I am very grateful for the great teacher I had this year. Even through the fact that we had to be virtual this year, she still managed to be a great teacher. I don't think I would have been able to accomplish what I have without such a great teacher.

# data[].attributes.body
I managed to have a good grade in this class, which was something that I did not think was possible in August. When this course first started, I was worried that I would not pass this class. I really wasn't good at writing essay's. Until this class changed my ability of writing essay's in a positive way. As this course went on, I realized that as long as I put effort and hard-work in, I'll achieve good results. Thank you, Ms. Bowdoin!!

# data[].attributes.body
At the beggining, when i found out I was taking this class, I knew right away i was going to struggle and fail the class. Writing has never been my strong subject, and although I started the class good, I eventually started to struggle just like i had imagined. Now that the class is ending, I managed to improve my grade by alot and pass the class, and even though I'm still not the best writer, I feel like I have improved, and I want to thank Ms. Bowdoin for that. Reading her feedback and comments made me see what I was doing wrong and helped me improve. Thank you Ms. Bowdoin for being an amazing teacher.

# data[].attributes.body
In the beginning I was nervous and making barely passing grades. During the frost I missed two grades and was failing the class, but I stayed and managed to pass the class.

# data[].attributes.body
At the beginning of the year i didn't think it would be possible for me to write like have been able to do towards the end, i have honestly never tried to write well but in this class we did a lot of pieces that i truly did like and wanted to write about so i put in the effort. I also was able to learn and grow in the area of grammar and punctuation seeing as that is one area that i have always struggled with. I enjoyed this class and feel like it helped me understand why there are people who enjoy writing.

# data[].attributes.body
Honestly, when people informed me what the class was about, part of me wanted to drop from this class, but the other part of me found a purpose in trying to take this class. The first week, just thinking of writing in a college level and thinking about my poor English, I felt like I was going to fail this class. Over the time, I found it more easy, especially with the help that was provided to me, I did more than what I ever expected. The time in class, the examples of work and how to do some assignments really helped me improve more. I learned to do some tasks that I previously thought they were almost impossible for me to do.  I am glad I took this class.

# data[].attributes.body
The class really scared me when I first started. I really thought it was impossible to pass this class, I had heard it was difficult and especially since I was online it was going to be harder. Yet I still took this class wanting to get college credit. I did struggle along the way but in the end I always completed my work giving it my all. The class also helpd my writing and also helped me pay closer attention to the meaning behind some authors words. It was a struggle but I don’t regret it

# data[].attributes.body
When we first started the class in August I did not think I would stay in the class. I was thinking about dropping the class and moving to an easier class but in the end I had stayed in the class. Although the course had been a little bumpy towards the recent end but i was able to do the extra credits and thankfully get back on track.

# data[].attributes.body
When I started the class I was excited to have yet another dual credit class but also scared because English is not my best subject.  However during the year I learned lots of new things and it was not as difficult as I thought it would have been, it was a challenging course but I just had to keep pushing because I knew how important it was for me to pass with a high grade. I know my knowledge has grown in writing essays, literacy devices, etc, and it is all thanks to this class.

# data[].attributes.body
At first I was very confident that I would ace this class but toward the middle it became very difficult to focus and write a good essay this discouraged me and I began to slack and struggle a lot. However towards the end of the year I managed to do really good and write a good essay I am definitely better at writing and analyzing. I have seen myself improve compared to the beginning and I definitely learned a lot about format, poems, literary devices and memoirs. I am grateful for all the resources provided for the assignments and I am very proud of what I did these last months in this class.

# data[].attributes.body
When I first took this class I was prepared to not do so great because I felt as if my writing abilities were not great. I was wrong because throughout the year I saw my writing ability grow to become more mature I was able to write more clearly as well keep on track of the main composure of the supplement I’m writing about . I’m glad I decided to push myself to accomplish that because I found a new mentality that if you push push you will eventually get better at what you’re trying to get better at

# data[].attributes.body
Throughout my life, I have never completely finished a book. I would always start on a book, get half way done, and leave it. However, this year I have managed to actually completely finish the book, “Where the Crawdads Sing”.  I am very proud of myself because I don’t like reading much, but reading this book has opened my eyes. I enjoyed the book I read, and I want to start reading books more often. Another thing I never thought would be possible is writing as much as I did this year. I find myself not that creative, so I am surprised I could come up with stuff to write. Overall, it has been a great experience and I am glad to have taken this class.

# data[].attributes.body
Back in August I never thought that I would be able to write so many essays. I never liked writing all that much, many because I struggled with both putting what I’m trying to say into words and using proper grammar, so when you told us that we would be writing a lot in this class I wasn’t very drilled. Luckily as the school year went by I was able to get better at it, and while I still think that I need to improve I have seen some improvement.

# data[].attributes.body
At the beginning of the year, I honestly never thought that I was going to be able to come this far. In this class I learned not to procrastinate, and I successfully completed every assignment, which is something I’ve always struggled with my past high school years. The pressure that I sometimes felt while trying to complete the assignments helped my realize that I’m capable to accomplish whatever I want, I just have to put all my effort into it.

When I heard  I was going to be in dual credit english I was scared of failing. I personally don't like the subject because I'm not good at it, but I thought I will give it a try.  Writing essays is something I've improved in. Back in August my essays weren't the best or weren't long enough. Since we kept writing essays I got better at it. This dual credit class was definitely difficult. I did had times where i struggle especially at the end but I am glad to have a good teacher that helped us a lot when we needed it, thank you.

When first noticed i had been placed in a Dual Credit English class i was surprised. I believed that i would be worked to the bone and that i would constantly be doing assignments in my free time, but this was not the case. Through High School, i was writing average essays and i believed that this was the best of my abilities, but now i feel confident in my writing and everything was clear to me so i never felt obligated to overwork myself. I am glad i was able to join this course because during my previous years in school i felt that i was struggling with my writing but now i feel confident with my writing. This class helped me improve in many ways and now i feel accustomed to writing. Thank you, Ms. Bowdoin.

# data[].attributes.body
I didn’t think that my writing could be getting stronger. I also didn’t think that I wouldn’t be doing so well in English because it’s one of my least favorite classes. However, I appreciate the fact that Ms. Bowdoin made it interesting and less stressful that i thought it would be. Thank you 🥳

When the school year first started I was worried about being in Dual Credit English. I thought I wouldn't be able to keep up with the class and my grades would start to dwindle. For the first part it went exactly as I thought but as time went on I started to be more responsible with my time. Instead of waiting until the last second to do an assignment I would start doing them the day I got them. This really helped me since I wouldn't be stressed trying to find an assignment on the day it was due, which helped get my grades up.

# data[].attributes.body
I managed to turn in all of my essays on time which is the most major part i would've never thought to accomplish. I'm not a big fan of writing topics I don't like, but I managed because I care about my grades. The hardest part was to stay on tasks though because I had work from other classes so I had to make it all fit in a day to turn it in on time. Though I'm glad we were given a couple of days to work on it. Appreciate it! Wouldn't have thought I could turn in my work without it.

# data[].attributes.body
Taking dual credit English has been one of the most stressful things i have ever put myself through, especially because I have never been good at writing. There were times were I considered dropping this class because I became so overwhelmed with assignments from my other classes. However, this class really helped me with my time management and I learned so many things I though i would never be able to understand. Thank you Ms. Bowdoin :)

Something I did this year in this class that I didn't think was possible in August was pass. This class, more specifically Ms. Bowdoin, challenged me to become a stronger writer when I didn't think I needed to be. She really got me out of my comfort zone of writing essays and reading books.  There were several times I wanted to quit or give up but I am so glad I didn't. All the hard work and stressful nights finally paid off.  The most important lesson I learned in this class was to time manage and prioritize.
