Selecting Courses
Part 5
The arts
Research indicates that students who participate
in the arts often do better in school and on standardized test. The arts help
you recognize patterns, discern differences and similarities, and exercise your
mind with unique ways, often outside a traditional classroom setting.
Many colleges require or recommended one or two
semester in the arts. Good choices include studio art, dance, music and drama. Many
students have talent 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 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!!
