AP = "Advanced Placement" classes. Basically college-level courses, which allow you to take a test at the end of the year to get some college credits prematurely.
All throughout school I was one of the two or three smartest people in my grade level, but that was my wall where I fell back down to earth. I could handle AP English and AP US History just fine, but AP Calculus, AP Chemistry and AP Physics wrecked me.
I really hit the wall in math. I never could wrap my head around calculus for that entire year and flunked out of it. Trigonometry was my absolute limit.
My mom basically forced me to take all that stuff. Hypothetically I could have just taken AP English and 5 fluff classes if I just wanted to skate to graduation.
