about the actual AP which comes at the end of the year (in early May).

exempt you from taking that class in college. So you are actually a
highschool student learning college material! If that is not impressing then
I don't know what is!

There are several things you should take into consideration when choosing
your ap classes.

In high school you can’t be free. You can’t do whatever you want. You can’t ignore other people’s wishes completely, specifically your parent’s wishes. Your parents aren’t ready for that. What would they do if suddenly you didn’t need their input? If you were totally independent? If you became a self-sustaining being where would their brainwaves have to redirect? These are questions better left unanswered.

A really important thing in high school is staying fit. It didn't come to my personal realization until junior year. Exercising, eating right, and most definitely sleeping right, is important. Pulling allnighters and constantly grubbing junk food and caffeine isn't the best of ideas. Its important that you don't forget to stay fit and maintain a good body while still feeling great and doing well
in school.

Even in this rough economy, teens can still find work and even take some time to volunteer or intern in certain job fields.

Summer is the season that cars come out more plentiful and the person behind the wheel is most likely a teenager. Though driving should be a fun experience for everyone it is usually not. Car crashes are the leading cause of death for 15- to-20 year-olds in the United States. There are also more driving-related deaths in the summer months than any other season of the year. So while driving this summer it is important to remember the safe driving tips that most teenagers seem to ignore. No one is above safety and certainly no one is above death.

As a student, we've been taught to turn in our work, do what the teacher says, and that's it. For AP, those rules still apply, however, it's more than just that. In any AP class, throughout the year, students form a rapport with the teacher; one that helps the student succeed in that class. It differs because, hopefully, the teacher should be working with the student towards success, not doling out work and letting all the students completely sink-or-swim.
