As most people know I'm going to be a senior in high school/a freshman in college. I have been going to SHS since I was a sophomore and they have always messed up my schedule somehow.
Sophomore year: I was just going to take regular 10th grade english because I didn't want to deal with honors english again because I knew I would have to read books before school started and I hadn't even paid attention 9th grade to what the books were. So we went on vacation for two weeks that year and got back the week before school started and then we got home and I checked my schedule when we picked up the mail and they had put me in honors english! I was furious how could they do that to me? I didn't know what books to read. So my mom and I went in to the high school and found my teacher and asked her what I could do and she said to hurry and read the books because it was too late to change classes. So I went through with honors english and I'm glad I did it.
Junior year: I wanted to take just honors english, I didn't want to take an AP class because I didn't know anything about them and I was a little bit scared. This time I had taken the time to remember what we were supposed to read for honors english. The Great Gatspy and Our Town. I was reading them, I was working hard during the summer to not do what I had done the year previous and I hadnt even read the second book we were supposed too. Weeks before school started I got my schedule again. Guess what they did, yeah thats right they put me in the class I didn't want. I got put into Mr. Waddoups AP Language and Composition class. How did they keep doing this to me? I had no idea. So I went to the counsolors office and changed a couple classes and just stuck with AP Language. I took the AP test in May, I didn't pass but it was a good experience for me.
Senior/Freshman year: This year they actually gave me the right english class but my lovely counsolor didn't tell me at my SEOP last year that PSY 1010 and Soc Psyc were the exact same class. One of them is a college class and the second is just a class I wanted to take because I absoulutly love the teacher and she teaches in such a way I feel I'm learning a whole lot more than I would have otherwise. So I had to go into the counsilors office two weeks ago to ask him about what class I should take. Then last week I had to go in to get it so I could take Soc Psyc and College Writing. Now my sophomore year I wasn't too bright and I failed my math class so I retook the class last year, to make up for the math credit I have to take a math class this year, I also want to so when I really get into college I wont be freaking out because I can't remember how to do math. But they didn't give me a math class, so most likely today I have to go in AGAIN for the third time to get my schedule worked out so I can take all the classes I want, yeah and school starts in a week from today.
Yeah I kind of have a bad attitude about this but I know this is all for my own good, if I hadn't taken honors or AP lang I probably wouldn't be taking Mr. Waddoups college writing class this year. So good things come to those who endure high school haha.
