I'm not going to have lunch in hs because I had this talk with my mom and uncule saying that if i tak lunch a lot in hs i won't b able to gradute hs and it's not going to help me get into college. She also said that in one of my classes i can eat my lunch there.
Don't count on eating lunch in class. I wouldn't let my students do this. It's a health hazard and distracting from your real purpose in school -- to get an education!
Of course you can graduate from high school if you take a lunch period.
The best way to get into any tough college is to take the hardest classes you can. You may have to postpone taking easy classes until they fit into your schedule later in high school.
Next year, talk with your teachers or your counselor about the best high school classes for you.
Also -- don't skip lunch. If you do, you won't be able to study very efficiently. Hungry people don't learn very well.
Yeah you have a bit like my dad always told me to eat breakfeast before going to school. Ok like one time in the first week on school when we was celbrating the 9/11 (singing outside and stay quiet and someone tells a speech) and some boy in my music class fatted and they called 911. It had something to do with not eating in the morning i told my dad about it and he said if you don't want that to happen to you you have to eat.
Anyways my mom been to my hgh school (well we had to high schools but the one she went I'm not really going, going to another high schol in this district) and she said that they aloud her to eat in class.
So are these classes are good to go to Yale????
I may be in 5 honors (one for art, orchestra, english, math, and ss)
Of course, your dad is right! :-)
I can't judge whether these classes are right for you. I don't know your choices. Your counselor will be able to advise you next year.
You could consider taking art classes at your local art center.

Another option that some students choose is to take one or two online classes that are recommended by their high school. Be sure to discuss taking online classes with your counselor!!!
Oh yeah I know that.
I'm planning on taking that but in order for me to gradute I have to have 1 credit I can do that for extra credit. I'll talk to my counselor. I'm planning on going to some programs like Collge and career center (they have that in my district), wise program, ap sumer Program, and this college credit programs called: Part Time, Non-Matriculated, full time Matriculate early admission, ap courses, and project advance - syracuse university.
anyways is there any info. about taking online classes in high school. Because like i have a a lot of questions for you to answer but instead you give me the info for me which will answer all of my questions.
I don't know what online classes are approved by your high school.
In the meantime, concentrate on getting the best grades you can in 7th grade. You have a ways to go before you get 99% in every class!!
I'm doing tons of extra credit anyway so my goal is to get a 99 or a 100 average.
I'll ask my conselor in 8th grade (before the year in over).
Thank You Ms. Sue!!!!! :)
Now I'm going to look some classes to take in 10-12 and tell you if it's good to make it to Yale next year (8th grade is a good year to ask because it the year before my year to high school).
Good-Bye! :)
i don't understand about u.s. and canada. :-(
The classes you mentioned are a part of your high school program of studies, and they do offer a well-rounded mix of academic, artistic, and cultural subjects. While having good grades in these courses is important, it is not the only factor that Yale or any other competitive university considers in the admissions process.
Yale University, like other top-tier universities, looks for students who excel academically, but also value extracurricular involvement, leadership, community service, unique talents, and personal characteristics. Additionally, they seek students who demonstrate a genuine passion for learning and a curiosity about the world around them.
To increase your chances of getting into Yale, or any other top university, here are a few things you can focus on:
1. Academic Excellence: Continue to work hard and strive for high grades in all your classes, including English, Math, and Foreign Language courses. Take challenging courses that push your intellectual boundaries.
2. Standardized Tests: Prepare and aim for high scores on standardized tests such as the SAT or ACT. These scores can be important for admission to selective universities.
3. Extracurricular Activities: Engage in activities that interest you and allow you to showcase your strengths and passions. This might include joining clubs, participating in community service, playing an instrument, participating in sports, or engaging in creative endeavors like art and writing.
4. Leadership and Personal Development: Look for opportunities to take on leadership roles within your extracurricular activities or in your community. Demonstrating initiative, responsibility, and the ability to work well with others is highly valued.
5. Letters of Recommendation: Build strong relationships with your teachers and mentors who can write compelling letters of recommendation on your behalf. These letters can provide insights into your character, work ethic, and potential for success in college.
6. Personal Statement/Essay: Craft a thoughtful and well-written personal statement or essay that showcases your unique experiences, accomplishments, and aspirations. Use this opportunity to highlight your personal growth and illustrate your passion for learning.
7. Supplemental Materials: If applicable, submit any additional artistic or academic portfolios that showcase your talents and achievements.
Remember, getting into top universities is highly competitive, and admission decisions are based on holistic considerations. It's important to continue challenging yourself academically, pursuing your interests, and showcasing your personal strengths throughout your high school journey.
