It's been interesting to note these past few days as the school counselors have been leading you athletes through the registration process for next school year, that many of you are beginning to look ahead, and I mean waaay ahead.
A number of you sophomores are thinking about what classes to take your junior year that will affect your college choices, college admission, and even the opportunity to compete in college. Good for you!!
School can be work and lets face it, it can be boring at times. But like any challenge in life, it becomes much more doable if there is a purpose behind it, a goal to achieve through it. I encourage you to not let school be "something you have to do" but "something to achieve." Dare yourself to dream about what could be rather than dwell on what is.
I was talking with Rebecca Asplund the other day about her class choices, and it dawned on me that she (like the rest of you sophs) is basically already a junior! Where does the time go?
It goes fast, that's where. So don't waste your time at King. Take challenging courses, classes that will prepare you to enter college and succeed. Don't get caught thinking high school's gonna take forever. It'll be gone before you know it and the choice you are making today, such as the choices of taking honors or AP courses, will positively affect you when you go to fill out those college applications or when your race performances catch the eye of some college coach.
