Selecting your courses

                                   Part 5

The Arts

Research indicates that students who participate in arts often do better in school and on standardized tests. The art 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 should look within their own repertoire of talent and identify abilities and take college classes to develop their talents.

Advanced placement programs (AP)

To be sure you are ready to take on college-level works, 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 a 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.
