AP Class Reflection

I believe that we live in a very competitive society today. High school students are put under a tremendous amount of stress to be the “best of the best”. Many of my peers feel if they do not take every AP class offered and graduate with perfect grades then they will never be able to succeed. Due to schedules overloaded with AP classes, students have little to no time outside of school and often forgo the importance of finding balance by participating in the liberal arts.
By incorporating classes such as orchestra, Spanish, and AP human geography into my schedule has helped me develop into a well-rounded student with a strong academic foundation. These classes have taught me more than just the information needed to pass a final or an SOL.
