I’m a currently a high school sophomore. So far, I’ve had a few regrets.
- freshman year: should've taken geometry instead of geometry honors since I didn't know that geometry honors would be phenomenally hard, and I ended with a C+ both semesters
- freshman year: should've taken Computer Science Honors instead of Choir. In eighth grade, I was naive and took Choir just because one upperclassman told me that music looked good on college applications.
- sophomore year: should NOT have taken AP Euro. I plan on going into STEM and nothing history related. I thought that I would take AP Euro because I liked AP World History, but I didn't know that I only liked WHAP (mainly because of the teacher and the content) but did not like AP Euro (because of both the teacher and the content). It has turned out to be a complete waste of time.
- sophomore year: should NOT have taken APCSP and should have taken APCSA instead. I took Computer Science Honors the summer before sophomore year and thought that it was a bit difficult, so I thought that taking APCSA would be too hard. I should've not questioned myself and should've taken APCSA, because APCSP is way too easy. If I had taken APCSA during sophomore year, then I would not have to take it during junior year and would be able to take AP Stats during junior year instead.
I really regret these choices, but I can’t change anything now, so it wouldn’t be worth it to fret over it. Oh well. Mistakes happen, and I’ll just learn from them.
