High School Class of 2018

@pianoswim I’m kind of struggling with Honors Lit & Comp, since my reading comprehension and writing skills are absolutely nonexistent. ~X( I’m trying to read a lot more so hopefully I can improve my grade (which is an 83%) and start focusing on the PSAT

@raffie I feel you, I have the same exact grade as you X_X

Ohhh, wow it has been quiet here!

high school class of 2018 here! hey guys!

Anyone still have an A or B in their AP class(es)?!

@sewin2music I had an A in AP World History but quizzes for chapters 2 and 4 really screwed me over and now I have a 79% :((

@Phantomlink Right!? I just had a Unit 1 LEQ and MC test for Ap Euro and now I have an 86%…I hate multiple choice tests…in this class

@Phantomlink chapter 2 as in classical china That was so easy for us I got a 25/25 but chapter 4 mediterrnanean classical civilization was kinda hard but I really studied so I got a 24/25 I have a 95 in the class

Wow this thread has been really active since I left. How’s everyone doing?
One month into the school year, and my grades are now beginning to chip away from the high 90s. Great.
On a completely unrelated note, what kinds of ECs are you guys taking this year?

A bunch of my solid clubs got cancelled(not enough people) so all I have left is Interact(school volunteer club),also a non profit youth organization helped chair some events, Youth basketball coach for local rec league, and volunteer at a hospital

My Girls Who Code club starts next Monday but the requirements from the Girls Who Code organization conflicts with my school’s policy! So I’m trying to contact them about it but I don’t know how to fix it… club rush is tomorrow though I’m nervous

All Upper 90s except AP Euro! I am in Hospice Club! We have training from now to winter break every week for 2hrs. Then I get to volunteer for 3 hours per week. I’m really excited!!! I’m also in gymnastics but that’s only recreational. :bz

@raffie how does it conflict

So… A 78% on English quiz and a 77% on Algebra 2 quiz. Lets just say I was basically crying (not really, just teary) on the way out of school…

@BucketsUCSC The organization requires for the club to limit members to girls, but our school’s policy does not allow clubs to restrict membership to a certain gender

Hi fellow class of 2018ers! I found this group and thought I wanted to join in on the fun!

A bit about me: I’m 15, Caucasian, and from Maine (probs the only one here from Vacationland). I hope to go to Caltech to major in Astrophysics. I also think doing the Harvard/NEC dual education program would be cool so I’d be able to work on my music, too.
