Selecting Your Courses
Part 5
The Arts
Research indicates that students who
participate in the arts often do better in school on standardized tests. The
arts help you recognize patterns, discern differences and similarities, and
exercise your mind in unique ways. Often outside a traditional classroom
settings.
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 ion the arts.
Students should look within their own repertoire of talents and identify their
artistic abilities and take college classes to develop their talents.
Advanced Placement Program (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 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 benefits of self-fulfillment and job satisfaction. Don’t take
shortcuts just to “get by”, instead, take challenging and difficult roads
(courses) and reach higher mountain peaks of achievements.
