I am a student taking AP US Government during my second semester of my senior year. My teacher is a Mrs. Elizabeth Ramos, she is a very well educated and respected teacher at ALHS. I am also a varsity swimmer and water polo player at ALHS. I enjoy the outdoors and spending time with friends and family. After graduation I plan to be admitted to the US Air Force Academy. I was able to take AP US History my junior year, from that experience I learned that reading is a very important part of succeeding in an Advanced Placement class. Another thing that I learned was that taking notes is another very important part of taking the course. Lastly, I learned that studying for an exam can be one of the most crucial parts of the course.
