Good evening, guys!
Today, I’ll address a blog post to all grade 10s and 11s. Students in grade 11 often get a little bit de-motivated about school, whereas grade 10s get get more excited about becoming seniors.
Here is why you guys should be exited for being in grade 11.
- Subject Selection
For the first time in your educational path, you will be able to choose the majority of your subjects. Make smart choices!!! Take as many different subjects as you can, if you are unsure of what you will enjoy. Also, even if you know what you like, choose a subject or two in a little bit different direction, and maybe that field will lit up your interest too.
I took only 6 grade 11 subjects, instead of 8, because I decided to take 8 in grade 12. That way I will have 2 more subjects to rely on, in case I do poorly on one or two of my 6 bests.
If you think that it might interest you - that’s a good choice!
- Importance of Marks
In grade 11 your marks become actually very important. This is because some universities offer an early admission, so if you do a little bit better than the other students, you could be offered a placement.
Also, this year all courses are very material-heavy, so keep in mind, that this year you will develop new studying strategies.
- Extracurriculars
Get involved in the school community. You’ll learn new skills and get your personal statement ready for the post-sec. application process. You could also start up new clubs and get volunteer hours from it.
By the way, regarding the volunteer hours….do them outside of your school. Potentially, in your field of interest. This way, you will be a more successful applicant and you will make sure that you are going to the right area of study.
