I loved the subject matter of AP Language and Compositionalways learning new vocabulary words and analyzing texts to find themes and the so, what? of the passage.

(Originally published in Inside Higher Ed s Admissions News Update on March 10, 2025) During my elementary school days I always looked forward to Feb. 14, Valentines Day.
