My guidance counselor said I am above average, but not at the top of my class. I’m in the top half of my class with average test scores but mostly above average grades. He also said my course rigor was fairly good I think and that I should continue taking honors and AP classes. Also, I think an honors program would be beneficial since I do best surrounded by people who are also motivated to do their best. These people don’t have to be very intelligent, but they should be motivated to work hard and diligently. Even in some of my high school honors classes that I’ve taken, there were people who would distract themselves with youtube or talking with friends which kind of rubbed off on me since I would also get distracted. This occurred especially in freshman year, which is a year I didn’t try my best in. When I’m in an environment with people who are dedicated to doing well, I tend to also do pretty well. That’s why I’d be interested in an honors program but I’m not sure if I have the stats to qualify.
