I have to register for my high school courses next weeks, and I need some help with choosing classes. I am stuck between doing a Video Production track, a Health Science track, or an AP-focused track. Here’s the current plan/s:
Freshman:
H English I
H Geometry
H Biology
World History OR Communication Arts
Latin I
Freshman Focus
Wellness
Sophomore:
H English II
H Algebra II
H Chemistry
AP World History (if WH is taken the previous year) OR World History (if I go the Communication Arts track)
Latin II
PE and Gov’t
Health Science (if WH is taken the previous year) OR Video Production I (school news show)
Junior:
AP Language
H Precalc
AP Chemistry
AP US History (if APWH is taken previous year) or AP World History
Latin III
Anatomy & Physiology [or another AP class]
Video Production II OR Rehabilitation Careers
Senior:
AP Literature
AP Calculus AB
AP Human Geography
AP Biology
AP Latin
Video Production III OR Clinical Exercise Science
[another class, or a fine art if I go the AP track]
I hope this isn’t too confusing. I’m really interested in my school’s news program - it’s really established and fun - but I also really want to be in the medical field. However, my post-secondary plans are still in the air and I don’t want to spend four years working on a field I won’t end up getting into. I could also go the AP route, but I think I would burn myself out by junior year.
Would it matter if I start my social studies sequence sophomore year?
By the way, Communication Arts is a prereq to Video Production and I can’t take it any other year other than freshman if I want to go into that track.
