Selecting
your courses
Part 5
The arts
Research indicates that
students who participate in the arts often do better in school and 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 setting.
Many colleges
require or recommend one or two semesters in the arts. Good choices include
studio art, dance, music, and drama. Many students have talent and
extraordinary abilities in the arts.
Students should
look within their own repertoire of Talents and identify their artistic
abilities and take college classes to develop their talent
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 achievement.
Choose
the Right!!!
