<p>there is a program in expos writing at the local university (rutgers) that would give me 6 free credits in expos writing if i complete it.
i would do the program every saturday mornings during my senior year starting in september..ending in june.
i am already in 4 aps for next year and i hold a leadership position in 3 intense clubs...should i not do this saturday program?
I have had problems with the people in charge before...and the program is not as helpful as it should be ( i would just be doing it for credit). as a senior in high school...should I be letting 4 hours of my saturdays go to waste? </p>
<p>im applying to HYPS...will not doing this program make a difference?</p>
<hr>
<p>irrelevant additional info:
the lady in charge is a real bytch. i took the pre-requisite class for it during my junior year (every saturday from sept to june) and got kicked out at the end for 3 medically excused absences--btw i hardly missed anything. this happened to about 5 other people. now in order to continue to do the writing course next year i have to go through this long process of writing about how my "behavior" was unacceptable and crap...sigh. is it worth it? or should i just stick to my high school studies, soccer, and clubs?</p>
<p>I already have 11 credits...plus whatever my ap scores will give me.</p>
<p>If I were you, I wouldn’t do it under those circumstances. It sounds like a great opportunity, IF it was under the goal of bettering yourself (not “just for credit”), IF you had not had previous major issues with the professor, IF the times were reasonable (4 hours every Saturday for nine months doesn’t seem worth the six credits), and IF you didn’t have to write a degrading essay for something that was not your fault. It’s up to you, but that’s my opinion.</p>
<p>^thanks. I feel bad to be walking away from an opportunity…but doing the program just doesnt feel right to me.</p>
<p>In that case, don’t do it. If it doesn’t feel right, you should trust yourself. And that might end up reflecting itself in your work if you go against how you feel. If you’re doing a lot already, use those four hours a week for rest and mental well-being. If not, put them to good use. But an opportunity that isn’t right is no opportunity at all. I have the “opportunity” to take barbering courses (There are many, such as “shaving”) at a local college, but it would not feel right. Don’t worry about how colleges will see something like that, I bet they won’t even know you could have taken that, nor will they care.</p>
<p>If they were unexcused she probably thought you were skipping, just a thought.</p>
<p>^“medically excused” makes the punishment unacceptable</p>
<p>^sorry, thought it said “unexcused”, didn’t read or think carefully enough.</p>
<p>Yeah, she’s a b¡tch, but it’s worth it</p>
<p>If you don’t do it, write about how you AREN’T sorry for your “unacceptable behavior”</p>
<p>lol thanks guyss. i will definitely find something else to do with my time on those saturday mornings</p>
<p>Write a seven line paper.</p>
<p>A sentence per line.</p>
<p>First, start it like this.
Uniquely apply your feelings.
Continue writing in this style.
Keep your mind open, don’t take this class.</p>
<p>You should feel better about not doing this activity.
Otherwise, I would do it.
Underly your dislike for her.</p>
<p>Read the Capitalized letter of each line. You should do something like that.</p>
<p>^ I doff my cap to you good sir.</p>
<p>haha I love it.
I dont think i have the guts to do that…or do I? hmmmm :p</p>
<p>She can’t do anything about it if you decline.</p>
