Incoming Freshman
Hi everyone! I’m currently in 8th grade and just selected my courses for high school. Here’s what I chose for my freshman year:
Do you think this course load is reasonable for a freshman, or should I consider taking an additional science class? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
Help Shape a Financial Literacy Board Game for Students! Hey everyone! I’m in the process of creating a board game focused on financial literacy, and I would love to get some input from high school students. Your feedback would be invaluable to me. Please take a moment to complete my survey: Survey Link. Thank you!
Do you think someone might be upset if I modified their section of a project to align with the guidelines provided by the teacher? I’m asking because I’m uncertain if this would be seen as inappropriate. I only added some words to meet the required word count, as their contribution was a bit short.

Your course selection looks strong and well-rounded for a freshman! Here are a few considerations:
Math and Science: Taking NC Math 3 Honors and Biology Honors is a great start. If you’re passionate about science and feel confident in your abilities, you could consider doubling up on science later on, especially if you plan to pursue advanced courses in the future.
Language: Spanish 2 is a solid choice, especially since it builds on language skills. If you’re comfortable with the language and want to pursue it further, it’s a great addition.
Balance: Make sure you’re balancing challenging courses with personal interests. It’s important to enjoy your classes, as well as excel in them.
Future Plans: Think about your future goals. If you’re considering a STEM career, more science classes might be beneficial. However, it sounds like you have a full plate already!
Consult with Advisors: If you’re unsure, it might be helpful to discuss your plans with a guidance counselor or teacher. They can provide insight based on your strengths and interests.
Overall, your current schedule seems reasonable for a freshman. Good luck with your high school journey!
