Four Honors Classes Can Cause a Burden For Sophomores
Story By: Kayli Perez
Going into sophomore year is a hard transition for some people … more work, more time needed studying, and more complex tests.
On top of that, there are options for honors classes for more advanced kids, including: Honors English 2, Honors Chemistry, Ap Euro, Honors Algebra 2, or Honors Geometry.
Sophomore Evelyn Boughan said, “It’s hard learning what classes you have to take, because you’re either going to be very bored or very stressed and busy. It’s almost like flipping a coin of stress or boredom.”
As a freshman, hearing about these classes can be a scary thing; it seems like pure misery and a definite no, but, somehow students still choose these classes over the normal ones. This leaves many to wonder their reasoning why.
“The classes aren’t bad, for me.” said Hannah Noel “I know for a fact that everybody couldn’t take these classes, but if you’re motivated, don’t fall behind, and like the subjects then you should be fine.”
The students in all four honors classes really are often seen as the ones pushing themselves to become a better student.
“It’s not the fact that I don’t like pushing myself to be a better student,” said sophomore Jay Delahoz. “Sometimes there is just a tendency to fall behind or get unmotivated, and once that happens it’s hard to catch back up”
Most of the students said that they could get through the classes because they have support from teachers, group chats, family members, and upper classmen.
It’s not as if you couldn’t take all four honors classes, and still manage to have time for sports, friends, and other activities outside of school. It’s just that the advanced classes come with higher amounts of work and higher expectations.
All in all, taking all honors classes as a sophomore isn’t that bad of an idea for many.
Sophomore Ximena Robles said, “It’s going to be hard and stressful but if you can start good at the beginning and keep it up you can make it.”
