I couldn’t help but overhear some people talking while I am working-
This other volunteer, a senior in high school, comments that she would probably be unable to come next month, due to graduation and a whole slew of other events.
M. then starts talking about how this other volunteer loaded up her senior year schedule with AP and honors classes and how that’s stupid. In her year, she only took english and government as academic classes, with the others being classes such as ceramics and business.
The other girl agrees wholeheartedly.
Oh god, what did I do myself senior year in high school?
4 AP classes, 2 academic, 5 AP tests plus acadec
And how do I feel?
I thought it was worth every little bit. I was busy, but I felt fufilled.
It evened out, eventually. I got A’s in all my classes but Calculus BC (that C will forever haunt me), and passed all the AP tests I took that year with 5’s.
Stress and a large worklaod may seem duanting at first, but I believe that is what makes people work harder, and strive for higher goals that one may not even consider with a lighter workload. You live on deadlines, but you get closer and closer to your personal limit. Being busy is a wonderful thing. Being bored with too much time to waste is not.
So, what can I say?
Stress out, everyone~! =D
