12. So, you have to treat it like a story
So, you have to treat it like a story. For example: At Central High School, during the school year, as an 11th grader. I took a class called US History. It was a semester course where I received two grades. In the fall I received a B and in the spring I received an A. It was not a summer course or an AP or IB course, so I will leave them blank.
