Introduction

          Any time I have free time I like to play basketball. Basketball is something I hope I get a scholarship for too play because that’s my second biggest goal. This year I want to achieve good grades throughout the whole school year and improve on my reading and writing skills. Mainly I want too do those things too past my AP exam. The reason I’m taking AP classes is too challenge myself and basically skip some of my college classes because I am sure that I’m going too college.
