Never too Early to think Ahead

Figuring out what you want to do with your whole life is one of the hardest and most thought of decision a person will every make. Yet, normally students and young adults do not begin thinking about their future life goals until they begin college or even later in life. While it is perfectly fine and normal for people to have no idea what they want to do with the rest of their life and struggle with the decision, they must be actively thinking about it and trying new things to figure it out.

Most High Schools today provide an immense selection of different classes both high school and college level courses. Students in high school should have a plan of attack when deciding which courses to take for each year to strategically complete all the requirements for graduation and college acceptance, as well as experiencing new topics and courses that the student is interested in or potentially be interested. For example a student has the choice between taking Marine Biology and AP Psychology next term and we were able to determine easily which course is best for her. Right now she has the idea that she wants to work with autistic or handicapped children, so the obvious choice is the Psychology course, even though the class will probably be harder. Taking these courses early in high school allows for the student to become familiar with the topics they will be learning about in much greater detail and be able to decide if they truly do enjoy the subject or if they need to reevaluate and choose a new subject. The final advantage of this is that by taking the intro level courses in your desired subject of study earlier, allows the student to bypass the intro level courses seen in the first years of college and allow them to move on to more advanced and often times more interesting subjects.
