January 30, 2010I have a choice of electives between Anatomy and Physiology, or Persuasive Communication. I have no idea what I want to do in college, so basically my whole high school career has been a mess of electives of just about everything. Anatomy is like it sounds, and Persuasive Communication is basically different kinds of speechs and how to present things in a way of convincing someone to do what you want. I’m not leaning either way because I’m pretty capable as far as education goes, and I think I’ll do alright in either. I’m already taking Exploring Communications, and for science, I have already taken Advanced Biology and Advanced Chemistry, so I’m taking Physics this year as well. Just was asking for a second opinion on what to take for this year.
That depends on a lot. Both classes could be very useful to you in the future, regardless of what direction you take. It sounds like you take a lot of science, and you have a solid foundation for A&P (not that it’s really that tough in high school, although I guess that depends on where you go). If it was me, I’d go with A&P, just because it really is extremely informative. If you even think you might want to go into the sciences, having experience with A&P will be very useful. If you are thinking business, I’d go with the speech class. Is there some reason you can’t take both, like on this semester, and one next? If there is, and you plan on going to college, ask yourself this, because you’ll probably need both in college, regardless of your degree: Which would I hate less to pay for? That did it for me. I was PSEO in high school, and I sure am glad I didn’t have to pay for some of the generals that I took. If I was you, I’d base my decision not on how it can help you out, but your interest. It sound like you take some pretty rigorous courses, and you should be able to take something you want to take, not something you have to take. High school is supposed to be fun, and that mess of electives is exactly how it’s supposed to be. There will be time for the boring stuff in college. Trust me on that one. Good luck with your decision.

The best way to decide is to follow your career path. By doing this, it will help in the long run.

Communications-at my college you had to take a communications class now matter what your degree, so it may help you in the future.

Persuasive Communication. No matter what career path you take, you’ll need to know how to clearly get your message across.

Sounds like your hands are going to be full enough with Physics. Anatomy and physiology is a pretty hard subject. If you are up for the challenge and alot of hard work, I’d go that way. Otherwise, if you want something a little bit easy and laid back, I’d go with the persuasive communication. I would definately take the latter over the former any day
