The Importance Of AP Classes

224 Words1 Page

Most of the classes I took during the course of high school were to fulfill the requirements to graduate. As my junior year passed, I had most of the requirements filled. This year I decided to take more AP classes to help gain college credit and experience before heading to college in the fall. The AP classes I stuffed my schedule with were mostly math and science. Math and science are my forte, thus I wanted to take those classes. In addition to liking math and science, it fits well into the medical career I wish to possess later on in life. I am going to take anatomy, AP physics II and Ap calculus because I deduced that they would interest me and help prepare me for a future in medicine. Also, I will take AP government and AP US history

    The second reason why students should be able to pick their own classes is that every single student has a different mindset and are drawn to different things. An example of this is you won 't need some classes that you are forced to take for some jobs such as geometry. Students don 't need geometry for a lot of jobs unless you are going into the construction business as an employee which is only about 11,000 people so it is rare that you will need geometry later on in life, so what is the point in taking it.
