Should I take a ROP course?

<p>I’m a freshman this year and I have an empty semester slot for ninth and tenth grade (I’m taking marching band, so that’s 6 periods plus the period I’ve mentioned). I can fill those slots up with 1) the California health requirement class or 2) a ROP career course such as culinary arts or design. I can also leave it empty is year and take health next year. My main concern is that the colleges would think the ROP classes are too easy, but I’m also concerned about having an empty semester space.</p>

<p>What should I do? Thanks!</p>

<p>If I were you I’d go ahead and get that health class out of the way.</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply! Would college admissions think that I’m lazy for taking an career training class or having only 6 classes (since I’m taking health in 9th) for my first semester of 10th grade?</p>
