<p>I was going to be taking all honors classes at my local school, but at my new school, there are no “honors” classes, and everyone has to take the same courses, basically.
Old school courses:
Geometry honors
AP human geometry
English 2 honors
Honors pygsical science
French I
Public speaking
Street law
New school courses:
Latin 1
Geometry/precalc in spring or algebra review/geometry
Freshman English
Freshman history
Art/theatre/music</p>
<p>aw, that’s too bad. pygsical science sounds fun!</p>
<p>Theoretically, I can only take one honors class which is English, but since I’m ahead of my class, I get to take advanced pre-calc. I’m in marching band and golf for sure. I really want to start a Science Olympiad team, and I’m studying for USABO. I really want to be on the Mock Trial Team, but I heard you have to try out. I also ran for student council and I’m still really upset about it because I lost to a person who was too lame to show up on election day and give their speech to our grade, so our teachers allowed the person to submit a video of his speech.</p>
<p>Hi guys! I am also a freshman! Whooot! Class of 2016!</p>
<p>Anyway, here is my schedule:</p>
<p>Algebra 2
Physical Education
Spanish 1
Advanced English 9
Biology
Geography
Computer Applications</p>
<p>My school doesn’t offer any honor classes or AP classes to freshmen. How’s my schedule? </p>
<p>Should I self-study any AP? Which subjects to self-study is the easiest? </p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>I think it’s a good schedule. Even if you can’t have honors you’ve still got pretty advanced classes like algebra 2. I don’t really plan on self studying much because I’ve always felt like that was for people who don’t have many options. My school’s got 25+ APs so I’m content. I think if you ask around people will tell you that the easiest self studies are human geography, psychology, and maybe environmental science.</p>
<p>You don’t need to worry about APs as a freshman. Every school is different, but at mine we can only take the classes in 11 and 12. I wouldn’t worry about self studying just yet. :)</p>
<p>I want to join Mathletes or the Academic Decathalon. It seems like fun. Maybe drama club too.</p>

^ Unless you’re going for the Siemens scholarship.</p>
<p>Then I’d start early. Same if you’re going for your state’s AP scholar. (I only took bio during soph year and nothing during frosh year, and so now I have to take so many science exams omg. So glad I live in a bad state haha)</p>
<p>SO
what do you guys wanna be when you grow up? :D</p>
<p>In my dream world I would just not work at all but somehow still have a regular income. That way I’d have time to pursue my less lucrative interests.</p>
<p>Neurologist baby, aiming high. Although I do want to join Doctors Without Borders, who, according to their website, have no need for neurologists. In that case, I’ll maybe do a double residency in Internal Medicine and Neurology? That’ll be a lot of work but SO worth it in DWB. Neurology is kinda my obsession, so either way, I’m doing something with it.</p>
<p>^Do you want to be a surgeon?</p>
<p>Same, swinter - it’s very hard to make a good living as a musician, regardless of talent.</p>
<p>@foodlover001 maybe, but probably not neurosurgeon. WAY too much liability. Whatever my specialty may be, I just know that I have this innate desire to travel the world and help those in need. Probably not my whole life, but definitely a good chunk. DWB is perfect for that.</p>
<p>I want to be a clinical psychologist. I think (if I still feel the same way in four years) I want to major in psychology and minor in English, because I love writing and reading stories about mental illnesses. If I could write novels like that for a living, it would be amazing. But I’ll just settle for being a psychologist while maybe writing on the side. :P</p>
<p>Agreed with swinter.
I don’t know what to pursue in the future. I’ve considered politics or philosophy, but philosophy isn’t a particularly lucrative field of work.</p>
<p>I want to be a mildly famous composer, like John Mackey.</p>
<p>I want to be in the Coast Guard or a photographer. (I know, such ‘high career ambitions’…)</p>
<p>16er here! my schedule is-
Honors geometry
Honors biology
Honors english
AP Human Geography
Gym
Spanish
Orchestra</p>
<p>Welcome, SaiRam! Nice schedule.</p>
