Freshman Year of High School

As a current 9th grader, and rising sophomore, I would say focus on subjects you like. For me, I really love biology, so I’m taking AP biology next year. For AP classes, don’t just do them for the credit, do them because you LIKE them, or else you will fail at the end. If you like sports, do a couple sports for extracurriculars. If your looking do get into top schools (Ivies, Stanford, cali schools) than do some volunteering and more “impressive” things (for example, I am doing an internship at the National Cancer Institute next year). Overall, just be you and don’t fall behind on any of your school work. Stay ahead, you’ll be fine.
