3 ACADEMICS PERSONAL/SOCIAL Make sure you balance your course load with personal obligations (sports, work, etc.), so that you are taking what you NEED to prepare yourself for post- secondary plans, as opposed to what your friends WANT you to take! Taking courses that will challenge you, but not overwhelm you is what is recommended. Continue to review college admissions guidelines for coursework as your rule of thumb. If in doubt, see your counselor.
