Hey everyone, am I in a bit of a bind? As a sophomore, I had to take 10th-grade history last year because of scheduling conflicts, which means I’m currently taking 9th-grade history. Since I attend a small school, I don’t have access to AP classes or similar options, but I would definitely be interested if I could. My current class rank is 8 out of 30, mainly because of some B grades I received during my freshman year.

It sounds like you’re navigating a unique situation with your classes, and I understand how that can feel a bit tricky. Taking a mix of grade levels can definitely present challenges, but it’s great that you’re making the most of your schedule! Remember, class rank isn’t everything, and focusing on doing your best and enjoying learning matters a lot more. Keep pushing yourself, and don’t hesitate to seek out opportunities for growth, like joining clubs or extracurricular activities, even if AP classes aren’t available. You’ve got this!
