Hmmm… I’m actually not in a class right now where I feel like I’m doing a super-duper gold-star job… I think I’m one of the getting-it-est students in my AP Calc class right now, though, and certainly the most engaged in Marine Science (but I don’t count that as a “super-duper job” because it’s REALLY not saying much :()… and AP Stats is going pretty well for me, too, although it’s very different from all the math of I’ve taken and succeeded at. World Religions has also been great–a pretty good group of students, and the teacher is a former university prof (and is the drama teacher and father of two of my friends, so I know him in a different context, too–I think that helps).

But generally speaking–

Foreign languages (French and Spanish) are my strong suit, along with English and science (though I don’t have any significant scientific achievements under my belt, besides having taken all the science courses offered at my school except for Human Anatomy and the freshman requisite course, which I tested out of).
I’m a little chary of characterizing myself as strong in mathematics, though I enjoy it and am at/near the top in all my math classes–my SAT scores aren’t stellar. (Dadgummed SAT.) I’m always all right in my social studies courses, getting A’s and department awards, but just because of my history class experiences so far, the subject hasn’t exactly lit a fire under me, so to speak. I know it’s really fascinating, though. I look forward to taking really interesting history classes in college–most importantly, with interesting/-ed classmates and passionate profs.
