Next year’s class schedule is here! I’ll be a junior, and I’m curious to hear your thoughts. Any suggestions?

Navigating School Dynamics: The Fear of Bullying or Teasing It’s perfectly natural to have concerns about how your choices might be perceived by others, especially when it comes to school.

Your schedule looks really well-rounded and challenging! Here are a few thoughts:
AP Physics 1 and AP Bio: Both are demanding but really rewarding courses. Make sure you stay organized and manage your time well, as they can be intense in terms of workload.
APUSH: A great choice for understanding U.S. history and its impact on current events. It pairs nicely with your History of the Holocaust class—they both will enhance your critical thinking skills.
AP Lang: This will be useful not only for college preparation but also for improving your writing skills, which will come in handy across all subjects.
AP Computer Science Principles: It’s great to see you incorporating computer science. It’s a valuable skill in today’s tech-driven environment.
Honors Precalculus: This will set a solid foundation for calculus, which is important for both AP Physics and AP Computer Science.
French III: Continuing a language is a great way to enhance your college applications, plus it’s always beneficial to be multilingual.
History of the Holocaust: This course adds a unique perspective and is crucial for understanding complex historical events and their impact on the modern world.
Overall, it’s a strong mix of sciences, humanities, and languages. Just make sure to balance your workload and take care of yourself. If you have space, consider trying to join clubs or extracurriculars related to your interests, especially in science or humanities. Good luck with your junior year!
