Being "behind" in level of classes compared to peers

Pre-College Topics High School Life

Here is my philosophy about HS:

  1. You want to prepare yourself for college. So in science you want to take Bio, Chem, and Physics.
  2. You want to challenge yourself so you can apply to colleges that match what you are capable of.
  3. But you want to have fun and explore things.
  4. There will always be someone smarter/ahead of you. Stay in your lane.

You will remember your family trip more than you will be glad you took Chem in the summer.
It is okay to take college courses in college.

It is okay not to take all of the AP Sciences.
It is okay to take a fun elective instead of yet another AP class. Challenge yourself in the core classes, but explore as well.

You be you, or you will be this kid:
