SELECTING
YOUR COURSES
Part 5
The arts- research indicates that students who participate in the arts
often do better in school and on other standardized tests. The arts help you
recognized patterns, discern differences and similarities, and exercise your
mind in unique ways, often outside a traditional classroom setting.
Many colleges
require or recommend one or two semesters in the arts. Good choices include
studio art, dance, music and drama. Many students have talents and extraordinary
abilities in the arts. Students should look within their own repertoire of
talents and identify their own abilities and take college classes to develop
their talents.
Advanced placement programs- to be sure you are ready to take
on college-level work, enroll the most challenging courses you can in high
school, such as honors or AP courses. Research consistently shows that students
who score a 3.0 or higher on an AP exam typically experience greater academic
success and college graduation rates than students who don’t take AP.
Work hard
in your righteous pursuits, and you will reap the full benefits of self-fulfillment
and job satisfaction. Don’t take shortcuts just to “get by,” instead, take
challenging and difficult roads and reach higher mountain peaks of achievement.
CHOOSE THE
RIGHT!!
