Missing courses, major headaches.
So, here's the story:
I am currently a freshman attending a private high school in Greenville, North Carolina. Since I'm in high school, I've started to search for different colleges that I would be interested in attending. I'm considering UNC-CH and I've viewed the application forms and application requirements. While I was looking through them, I noticed that a few of the required courses are not offered at my school as of now. My English literature teacher informed me that some colleges in the area offer extra courses during the summer, so I'm going to begin the required courses later this semester. But, I'm wondering whether taking the extra courses at a college during the summer or switching from my current school to a public school that offers these courses would be better for applying. I know that AP and IB programs are offered at J.H. Rose and South Central in Greenville, but I can't bear to leave my friends and my boyfriend behind. I know that my education should come first, but really, it is hard for me. What do YOU think would be the best thing for me in the long run?

You're just a freshman, don't worry about it. Start thinking about it junior year.

You have a couple options!
You can switch to a public school and have the classes that you need... Yes it'll save your parents money, but obviously they put you in the private school in the first place so it shouldn't be a big deal.
Or, you can graduate and go to a community college...like Pitt or Martin Community College in Williamston, NC. They offer the classes, plus you'll be able to take SAT and ACT prep courses which are always helpful, and it'll raise your GPA which will give you a larger chance at getting into the College or University of your choice.
Good luck!

might view on this is that if you go to the public skool you will save money from the private skool which can go towards your college and you get to save money on summer courses. and since the courses will be at skool you won't have to miss summer break. And if you care so much about your friends, go see them every weekend and they can come see yout too. i think this is the best option even though it will hurt at first, i no that you will be able to make new good friends and with all teh money u save and your new better education you will get a better paying job. so i see this as a long run opportunity waiting to happen.

Well, its your decision. If its what YOU want to do you need to follow your heart and persue your dream. Your friends and boyfriend should understand how you feel and be happy for you. This is a chance for you to get an awesome education and you can even meet alot of new people!
