My school offers this thingie where certain Juniors and Seniors are allowed to take some classes in a community college. I am one of those people... and I am trying to figure out whether or not I want to do this. How am I supposed to have the whole high school experience if I load myself with unnecessary work?

This is not unnecessary work, this is a jump start to you college education, taking these classes can make your transition into college life so much easier. So yes this will take some out of you high school experience, it will also add so much more to your college experiences.

I take college courses in high school (called Dual Enrollment in my school) Benefits -Looks great when applying for colleges (taking advanced classes) -Graduate early from college -Free books+free classes=FREE (Save A LOT of money) -My older sister is in college and she took some in high school and when she signed up for classes, her choices were of higher priority than other freshmans. So she got an advantage when she signed up for classes. I would talk to a counselor, if you want specifics, or look up the credits you need to graduate. But to me, they didn't really help, so my parents and I planned it together I took (or know someone who took it): 1) American History 2) English Composition (English) 1 & 2 (STRONGLY RECOMMEND) 3) Psychology 4) Humanities 5) Sociology 6) Public Speaking 7) Biology 8) Human A. (cannot spell to save my life) 9) Economics 10) College Algebra Take the boring elective classes that freshman are required to take, those classes are very easy and it's great to get them done early!

You should because it gives you a better advantage over your peers who don't have it to earn at least a year's worth of credits putting you ahead of the game so you can continue while you're going to school. I wish I did that when I was in high school.

I think you should you could get smarter and maybe you might get the idea what you want to do for the rest of your life,and also when you get into a college they might let you in because your life is going to be full of good choices! say yes take a good chance.

If your highschool's district pays for your books and for the credit go for it. That's less you have to pay for later. I know people graduate college and start college as a sophomore. Save the money.

It would be a shame to NOT take advantage of a great opportunity. Trust me, you will soon forget your high school years...mostly anyways. College is so important - go for it!

Go for it! You will really be glad you did later on. I do, however, suggest that you not say "my school offers this THINGIE" You're smarter than that honey. :)
