<p>In fairness to my high school, AP's do not always replace boring and unchallenging classes. Like most overachievers I was pushed to take a ton of AP's. Yes, the classes were challenging. Yes, I received 5's on the AP tests but I would rather have taken the courses I wanted to take, our school offers some great choices. Looking back I wish I would have ignored my counselor and taken Forensic Science and the Law instead of AP Bio. I also wish I would have taken Journalism and Newspaper Production instead of my second English AP course. I wish I would have taken The Media and Its' Impact on Youth instead of Econ AP, you get the idea.</p>
