<p>I'm going to be a senior in high school in the fall and by next year I will have taken 20 AP exams. My dilemma is that my school is rather poor and I will have 4-5 free periods next year because I have literally run out of courses (I self studied for several of the APs as well. Now I really do not want to catch Senioritis so I am considering taking some paid college courses online that will work towards my undergrad. I already know that I am definitely getting a degree in computer science. Some classes that I am considering taking are multivariable calculus, linear algebra, modern physics, organic chemistry, or some kind of computer science course. It would be much appreciated if I could have some advice on the matter - what courses I will definitely need, what might help me with my intended major the most, what type of computer science class I might take, what university I should study from, etc. Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>Senioritis hits particularly hard with online classes. Is there a local community college or state college that you can enroll in?</p>
<p>All of the classes you listed will likely prove useful to you

<p>When I was in high school (many moons ago), I had a similar (but much less of a magnitude) problem. I had taken or was taking every class that I wanted and had an open period. No other opportunities near by. So, I volunteered as a tutor in math at my high school. I went into the Guidance Department and talked to them about doing it. They were quite grateful for me asking to do something like that. I tutored two kids. </p>
<p>One was there because his parents insisted. It was obvious it wasn’t working and the guidance counselor, who set it up, stopped those sessions. </p>
<p>The other kid was actually quite smart at math but had a minor issue that was messing things up for him. He was still counting with his fingers to add numbers. I had him sit on his hands and do mental arithmetic until he got his speed up. From there it was a matter of teaching him what he hadn’t learned because he was just too slow before. He picked it up pretty fast. It was a very, very satisfying experience to me to help this kid out. His parents were quite grateful as he went from failing math to getting A’s and B’s.</p>
<p>I find that knowing a subject is great but you really have to know it better to teach it. You may want to do something similar for one of your open periods.</p>
