In order to do well in Mr. Brink's class whether it's Honors U. S. History or Military you need to just be ready to listen. Listen to his amazingly goofy stories and his powerpoints. I understand how one might believe that watching and listening to powerpoints would be boring but honestly Brink's class is engaging and quite easy if you just pay attention in class, do your homework every night ( If not you WILL get a homework detention but it's not a big deal ) and STUDY the Quizlet and utilize all of your study materials that you have. Obviously don't kill yourself over it but just take advantage of it because (Freshman ) you should know that most teachers will not give you quizlets, powerpoints, practice tests, worksheets so really take advantage. It's a super fun and easy class if you just kind of pay attention and joke around with your classmates and big man Brink.
