Try your hardest to stay on top of things and if you're struggling with something, definitely make sure to do something about it! She's very helpful most of the time but make sure that you do as much as you can by yourself first.

Its actually a really nice class. Sure it starts off boring at the beginning of the year but it actually gets kinda fun as time goes on! Sure, its not my favorite class with all the writing we have to do but that's normal for an English class tbh.
