When you remember God’s repeated Goodness and Favor in your life—be it in delivering you from a difficult situation, healing you of a sickness or disease, or delivering you from your enemies—this is fuel for your faith that He will do it again.
The red seas He parted for you, or those times when He closed the jaws of the lions in the den, you know this is a history of God’s Love for you—when you see that His faithfulness to protect you and your family never ceases.

A fun, interesting class, though that might depend on your teacher and your love for history >.> It's not as hard as people say, the outlines are not a burden if you do the pages the teacher assigns that same day, and not the night before they're due -_- A word of advice - if you don't like history, don't take that class because you will be bored there and will also bore your classmates with your negative atmosphere. xD
If you have an awesome teacher for AP World History, it will become your favorite class.

The best month of the year when all of the great Black activists, athletes, inventors, scientists, scholars, musicians, poets, authors, architects, explorers, etc throughout history get the most recognition for their achievements. Africans have richest history in the world, as they are the ones who brought Mathematics, Science, Language, Architecture, Cosmetics, Art, Spirituality, Folklore, and so many other things to the world. And as for Black Americans, we are the ones who built America, and not just through free labor via slavery. It's so important for people to learn about historical figures such as Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, Malcolm X, Lewis Latimer (inventor of the carbon filament used in light bulbs), Benjamin Banneker (scientist, Almanac author, and farmer who built the first American clock and assisted in creating the city layout for Washington D.C.), Juan Garrido (first person in the Americas to cultivate Wheat), Garrett Morgan (inventor of the Traffic Light and the Gas Mask), W.E.B. DuBois (Pan Africanist civil rights activist who co-founded the NAACP), Kenneth Dunkley (inventor of 3D Glasses), George Crum (inventor of Potato Chips), and so many other monumental figures! Coincidentally, this month corresponds with many other events like National Heart Month, the Super Bowl, the NBA All Star Game, the Oscars, the Grammy's, and Valentine's Day.

A course that although it claims to be about the world, is really all about China and Japan. The class is as good as the teachers make it. The test, on the other hand, is about how many essays you can write in the shortest time period.
If you want to do good, study general topics, not fact-for-fact. I did this and got a 5 on the AP exam. You do not need to be a nerd to pass this exam, nor spend all your time studying, i spent 30 mins every few days starting in April.
I took AP US History and got a 5, then had to take the crappy New York Regents still.

Black History Month, n.
1. A sorely needed opportunity to raise awareness of the history of black Americans among people of all colors.
2. The shortest month of the year.
Black History Month is important not just for Black people to understand their own people's centuries-long struggle for liberation, but for all people to recognize the problems that institutionalized racism and skin color privilege has caused and continues to cause in American society.

An amazing class that may steal your soul but is SOOOO worth it because it gives you a perspective on the country unlike anything else.
Oh, and you won't die if your GPA drops a little...don't be stupid and drop it because you are worried about your GPA. After this class you can accomplish anything with ease. No lie.

Undoubtedly the '04 Yankees, characterized by such players as Slappy, Jason "Pumped-up-on-steroids" Giambi, and the Skeet covered Jeet
After almost swallowing several of their teammates cocks, and then blowin a 3-0 lead in the ALCS, the '04 Yankees deserve the title, "the biggest chokers in history"
