Classes – When in high school, you will want to take classes that are somewhat of a challenge to you.  You may have a 4.0 GPA, but if you have classes that are extremely easy, that doesn’t mean as much as it would if you took more challenging classes.  So, make your high school years a challenge, learn as much as possible, and get good consistent grades.
