Selecting
Your Courses
The Arts
Research
indicates that students who participate in the arts often do better in school
and on standardized tests. The arts help you recognize patterns, discern
differences and similarities, and exercise your mind in unique ways, often
outside a traditional classroom setting.
Many
colleges require or recommend one or two semesters in the arts. Good choices
include studio art, dance, music and drama. Many students have talents and extraordinary
abilities in the arts. Students should look within their own repertoire of
talents and identify their artistic abilities and take college classes to
develop their talents.
Advanced Placement Program (AP)
To be
sure you are ready to take on college-level work, enroll in the most challenging
courses you can in high school, such as honors or AP courses. Research consistently
shows that students who score a 3.0 or higher on an AP Exam typically
experience greater academic success and college graduation rates than students
who don’t take AP.
Work hard
in your righteous pursuits, and you will reap the benefits of self-fulfillment
and job satisfaction. Don’t take shortcuts just to “get by,” instead, take
challenging and difficult roads (courses) and reach higher mountain peaks of achievement.
CHOOSE THE
RIGHT!!!
