What should be my basic plans in my freshman year of high school?

=) Don't worry, that's actually a really good schedule. High school is ok and not really a big thing after your first week. Trust me, just keep your grades up (at least a 3.0 or higher) and take some extracurricular activities, get your community service out the way - and you will be fine. Be nice to everyone and always do your work. The lunches will suck though. Good luck!

It make seem a little soon but I'd recommend planning to take the PSAT if your school offers it....it should give you a decent approximation of which areas you need to work on to get the best score possible when it comes time for the SATs and keep your GPA up, I got 4 B's freshman year that are still haunting my GPA as a junior

Your schedule looks good, but I'd recommend taking a foreign language too (don't start your foreign language any time after sophomore year).

Also, stick to classes YOU like and are interested in. Don't take a class just because your friends are taking it.

Don't fall into the trap of "I'll take this class because it'll look good on my high school transcript". I've known lots of people who do that and none of them get anywhere because they only focus on it looking good, but they never actually care about the content of the course.

High school can be a wonderful experience or a dull and boring one. It is all what you make of it, so my suggestion is to just be yourself, get involved in clubs or activities that will interesting to you. I personally took drama for the first three years of high school. I love acting so that is what I did. I also was in the marching band, I painted a mural at my school, and took almost every A.P. class that my school offered.

The one thing most people mess up is that they do not think for themselves they let their friends think for them so as long as you stick to your beliefs and try to listen to other peoples views with an open mind everything should go very well for you.

Don't burn yourself out, like some of my old honor roll classmates did.
