Why is Barrett Honors worth it?
I am attending Arizona State University, and have been accepted into Barrett Honors College. Many of my high school friends are also going into ASU for the same degree, however only one of them has applied to Barrett besides me. I like the idea of Barrett but they have additional restrictions that make me hesitant to join it, like having to stay on campus for two years rather than one. With my chosen degree, is Barrett worth it?
(#Spring25) Do I include honors/awards in my college application? If so, what should I do if I feel like I'm lacking that?
I'm a current Junior and I'm creating my college list and this came to mind. I switched my focus from engineering to business which is why I'm not seeking any sort of medals in clubs like Science Olympiad. I'm worried I may lack awards to talk about especially since I no longer compete in sports like I did before freshman year of high school.
Should I be worried about honors algebra 2 and honors Spanish 2?
I’m a freshman in highschool, and have been for almost a month and a half now. The opportunity to switch to all honors classes + AP human geography has been presented to me and I am confident about most of my classes except for honors Algebra 2 and honors Spanish 2. I am not struggling at all in these classes, and I have a high A (96+) in both of them. My counselor said it was the same curriculum but I am still so afraid! I fear that I would be biting off more than I can chew if I take ALL honors + an AP class. I’m in regular classes right now (regular Algebra 2, regular Spanish, regular English, etc…) and It’s all very easy for me. Despite it being the same curriculum, would everything be more intense? Are the teachers less lax in these classes? Would I be bombarded with work from the switch? I can make a decision by the end of this week (end of marking period 1) And I will likely choose honors. But what’s the point of taking classes that look good if I just struggle and fail them? I have very good grades right now. Mostly ease in all my classes. Lowest grade is a 96 while my highest is a 100. Would that change if I go into harder classes? What am I putting myself into? What should I expect from taking these honors classes, and more specifically honors algebra 2 and honors Spanish 2.
Should I quit my sport?
I'm currently in 9th grade and have been doing rhythmic gymnastic since around 4-5 grade. I've been wondering if I should quit since I practice 4 hours a day on school days and haven't been getting enough sleep or good grades. Currently I have all As except for 2 subjects which are Bs, but I think I can do better. I am also taking all the hardest classes available in my school for a freshman. I really love my team but I don't know if rhythmic is my sport since I'm now in level 8 and I'm not as flexible as I used to be, therefore I'm at a huge disadvantage. I have also been wanting to quit for several years now however never had the courage to. It's been part of who I am for such a long time, but I just don't think it's right for me anymore. I really love the sport but I don't think I'm good at it anymore, or will be again in the future. Since I'll only get less flexible. I believe my coach really does want the best for us but most practices are wasted because she's not in the mood to correct us. I also see no future for me in the sport, and I don't think it will be good for collage app since basically no collage has a rhythmic gymnasts team/ I have to decide whether or not I want to quit since we have to start signing up for competition in 2 weeks, and if I don't quit this year I'm not quiting next year since I want to be able to start sometime else and get better at it PLEASE HELP! (If I quit I will start trying new sports starting with gymnastic)
Should I take Honors Organic Chemistry and AP Chemistry together?
I will be going into 11th grade next year, and I'm interested in going into Pre-Med. Here is my schedule for next year: Hon. Pre-Calc w/ Trig AP US History AP English 3 Hon. French IV AP Chemistry String Orchestra (Gym) I have space for 1 elective, so I was wondering if it would be better to take Organic Chemistry next year or senior year... if not, I can take Hon. Anatomy and Physiology instead. Based on how much coursework / content there will be, do you have any advice or recommendations? I am planning on doing AP Chem + Org. Chem together and AP Biology + Anatomy/Physiology together. Any thoughts? Thank you! #high-school-student #chemistry #AP #Honors #organic-chemistry #courses #sophomore

Does NHS matter?
At my school, there are a bunch of kids who are in NHS, and they are always praised for their service. When I look at the members, there are some really smart kids in there, but most of them are average students. So my question is, does NHS matter? #NHS #nationalhonorsociety #resume #honors #college-applications

Is it better to take an honors course or not?
I've heard from some people that you should take honors courses in college because it looks good on resumes and puts you in classes with other goal-oriented people, but I've also heard from other people that it's not worth it because it's a lot of extra work and will just end up giving you a lower grade in the class. #honors? #what-is-best? ##i-am-not-sure-what-i-want-to-do
