Almost there!

Just a couple more days and we will begin the new school year. I hope you are as excited and anxious as I am. I am glad you have chosen to study AP Economics with me this year. It should prove to be a fun and challenging semester. You are likely taking this course because of the opportunity to earn college credit by scoring high on the AP Exam in May and looking to "boost" your GPA by taking AP courses. Please let me warn you, this class will be challenging. While you likely understand many of the ideas and concepts intuitively, you will be asked to transform that knowledge into formal economic understanding.

It is always an honor and a treat to teach upperclassmen, especially those who are the leaders of our school. My excitement and genuine interest in the course is therefore multifaceted. But you should not confuse my excitement and enthusiasm by believing the course to be easy. However, if you are someone who get satisfaction from learning something new and completing difficult challenges then this is the place to be.

Again, I look forward to our semester together, and anticipate much success.
