What's in this for me?

For me to enjoy the freedom of the fabled "second semester senior year," I will need to get an early jump on my classes.  If I do so, I will be able to enjoy the opportunity to explore new options in my life like traveling, picking majors, and even setting myself up for the perfect summer job!  I have a water polo trip to Montenegro planned in March which I an very excited for.  I want to get a strong start on my classes so that I will be spending my time in Europe sightseeing and exploring, rather than burying my nose into textbooks.  After that I my focus will be on succeeding on my AP tests.  And after that point, I will then be able to experience the fairyland of "second semester senior year" where you are free to chase your goals and are ready for bigger and better things.
