Student Statement:
Please describe to me why you're interested in taking this class. What do you hope to gain from it? What is your background as a reader or writer, and why do you think this course is the natural next step in your education? In your response, help me begin to get to know you both as a writer and as a person. (This is not a full-blown application essay-- one or two paragraphs are fine!)

STATEMENT OF INTENT FOR STUDENTS & PARENTS
I have read the course description in the PA Homeschoolers web site or newsletter, and understand what this course will require from me. I further pledge to participate fully in the course, keeping up with required assignments and deadlines. The work I submit will be solely my own composition. Plagiarism is grounds for dismissal from the course with a failing grade. I understand that I will be issued a certificate of completion, with final grade, after I have taken the AP exam at a public or private school site. The actual AP exam grade will be sent directly from the College Board. Even though I am submitting this electronically, I understand that my signature is still binding.
