I'm taking on the JV dance team- which has practices every day either before or after school
and I'm taking all honors classes.
I'm an incoming freshman, so I don't know what the work load is like in highschool.
I'm wondering if I'm going to be swamped with work?

Most likely, yes. Especially if you attend a competitive high school.

[maharu.]

Can be a possibility.
Regular classes sometimes has a high expectation so if its all honors classes, it may be hard.
Middle school was like walking in the meadows, you passed if you tried.
But high school, projects, finals, tests, and such can be a hassle...esp. finals.

[artsifartsi]

It depends. Look back on how you did in middle school; if you got all As with no work at all, then you'll probably be fine.
If you were struggling a litte/had to work hard, then you might want to look into dropping some classes.
Freshman year isn't all that bad, so I think there is definitely the possibility of doing well with your schedule,
but it's a lot different than middle school so you need to see where you're at first.

It depends on how hard your high school is.

I had mainly honors my fresh and soph year, and I really wasn't assigned a lot of work. haha It was pretty chill. =]

So ask some people you know who are taking honors if the work load is a lot and/or the course is too rigorous

[pillowise]

I would say the main thing would be time management. I don't think it's too bad, but I don't know how much your honors classes demand. But really, if you spend your time efficiently, it shouldn't be much of a problem.

[chinese tears <3]

I think it will be for you, especially because you're an incoming freshman. It might not seem apparent at first, but course work load between high school and middle school can be big sometimes especially if you're taking honors courses. Usually I've never heard of freshman coming in with all honors classes though, lol. But then your school's freshman honors courses probably don't count as real honors courses like most honor courses don't. Plus dance team is year round right? Most freshman can deal with just seasonal sports. Maybe just take honors courses in subjects you really like. You need time to get used to high school too.

But hey, if you can really deal with it.... that's really good for you and you're set on a good path ^^;;

[xm1chelle]

i dont think that it's too much...well actually, it depends on how competitive your high school is going to be...but i have a friend who took an ap class & she was in magnet & took tennis so i think you can handle it

[aime]

depends how pro you are hehe

[aznsweetie143]

mmhmm,
thanks guys.
i think i'll try it,
and if it doesn't work, drop some honor classes that won't really help me in the future.

[alicimoo]

It shouldn't be that bad since it's like a sport.
All the sports at my school have practices everyday pre-season and during the season.

[Daikirai]

Depends on how much you can take.

[Elee]

a possibility.
but u got into those good classes right? it takes self discipline.
please remember not to give up... and have your schoolwork as your PRIORITY.
your coach/teacher will understand and tell you the same thing that schoolwork always comes first you can always come back in a few days to your practices.
at first, i will warn you. its pretty hard. because of homework thats like 4 hours or something, you will barely have time for anything if your really focused on your studies.

[michelle-pyon]

Right now, I'm a freshman and I take all honors classes too because it's a college prepatory/honors/magnet/technology/science school. Even though I had all those classes, I still did afterschool clubs and music lessons. I even had school on Saturdays too. So doesn't that mean i am taking too much too.

I mean it was hard at first, but I tried my hardest and worked until I was finished with all my homework (that's why I only get like only 3-5 hours of sleep every night or no sleep at all) and in the end, I got all A's and one B. Yay for me. haha :)

So like what classes are you taking because it depends on the classes and the school you will be attending. If the classes you chose are classes that you might have little or some problems with, then you might likely need to study harder meaning more work in order to understand everything taught in the class.

For me, I had a lot of work given especially reports and projects. You might be swamped with work when you enter highschool, so be prepared is all I can say.

[Mardi09]

that seems like a lot to me....but...do whatever you want to do.....if you think it's going to help you in the future....
all i gotta say is that if i were to do all that...i wouldn't have much free time to go online...><

[BR1TT4NYy]

go for it, honors classes arent very hard on average
unless you had ridiculous classes or go to a very competitive school
my freshman year, i took...
h. english
h. bio
h. geometry
spanish 2
tennis
elective

it was easily manageable

[tashaisasian]

Well it sorta depends. Some honors classes are jokes (like honors geometry and honors english) but that depends on the school.
I'm an incoming sophomore but this year I took honors english, honors geometry, an ap human geography as far as "advanced" classes go. If you're taking english honors and another class that requires a lot of reading it's like suicide >:O You have to read so much!!!

And if your practices are really long, it might be hard to manage because you'll lose studying time.

I think you will be fine. Honors classes are not big deal and after a month you will be used to practice after school everyday.

I think you should do it. Definitely don't drop your Honors classes. You need them for you're GPA! =)

[WonderBread]

You'll be fine until you hit Jr. Year with all those AP classes.
