I plan on becoming more invested in the Westview ASL club and join another club with community service to help out my community more. I will get 8 hours of community service by June 9th. ,
My goal was to take more efficient notes for my APEH class to allow myself to grasp and understand the information I was learning.

I took extra time to highlight main ideas and concepts which ultimately prepared me for my AP exam.
