Selecting Your Courses

Part 5

The Arts

The research indicates that students who participate in the arts often do better in school and on standardized tests. The arts help you recognize patterns, difference and similarities, and exercise your mind in unique ways, often outside a traditional classroom setting.

Many college 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 artistic and take college classes to develop their talents

Advanced Placement Programs* (AP*)

To be sure you are ready to take on college-level work, enroll in the most challenging courses you can in high school, such as students that 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 benefits of self-fulfillment and job satiation. Don’t take shortcuts just “get by,” instead, take challenging and difficult roads (courses) and reach higher mountain peaks of achievement.
