Selecting your courses
Part 5
The Arts
Research indicates that students who participate in the
arts often do better in school and on standardize 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
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 short cuts just
to “get by”, instead, take a challenging and difficult roads (courses) and
reach higher mountain peaks of achievement.
Choose the right!!!!!!
