Hi! I’m just about to graduate from my sophomore year of HS and I am seeking advice about how to balance my life junior year. Next year, I will be taking two AP classes (AP Lang and APUSH), an honors geometry class (I know it’s weird to take that junior year but I’m a transfer from homeschooling and that’s just how it worked out), I will hopefully be a part of the NHS should my application be accepted, I will be doing cross country and basketball, I will be a part of drama, and I will be working on top of all of it. Outside of school and work I’m heavily involved in my church’s youth group and I have a leader position there. I am absolutely aware that I will need to drop things if my health suffers from my busy schedule or if my academics begin to suffer, but I also know it is possible to balance all these things. I just have never had so many things to do so I’d really appreciate some advice from people who have had similar schedules in high school!
I also want it to be clear that I’m willing to drop things if I need to. My first priority is school, then work, then extracurriculars, and I will adjust my schedule accordingly if I must.
Thanks so much for reading my post and thank you in advance for any advice.
