\"\"<\/a>As each quarter comes to a close, we are becoming closer and closer to a successful end to the 2022-2023 academic school year. I am sure we can agree that this year has offered many twists and turns for the better, and the brunt of the good comes from all the opportunity Trumbull High has to offer. Nearing the beginning of an end, comes the mind consuming, yearly tradition of course selection for the 2023-2024 school year. A time full of stress, curiosity and \u201cof course\u201d change.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Coming this fall, is a new feature in Trumbull High that is sure to be quite the adjustment for us all. Not only are we experiencing a change in grades and classes, but a new schedule is also imminent. Where some see a flaw in the system (with a few inconveniences present), the situation should be looked at with a new perspective. It is a clean, fresh start with a shot in a new direction. This “8 Drop 2” schedule allows for an increased chance in each student’s ability to take a class that is advantageous to them. Whether you want to pack your schedule to the brim, or create a schedule that is catered to a specific degree\u2014this new schedule will allow each THS student the choice to do so.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For many, the multitude of courses Trumbull High offers can be very overwhelming. Ranging from Intro to Piano, to Painting 1, and all the way to Multivariable Calculus, it is easy to get caught up in choosing a class that is the perfect fit for you. The decision between a want and a need for a class, becomes a very fine line that should be taken into consideration during the decision making process. Incoming freshmen are being introduced to a wide variety of possibilities. Simultaneously, the rest of the student body are also getting the opportunity to delve into new chances, and explore their own intellectualism.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As a junior myself, I have noticed a common theme within the class of\u00a0 2024 student body. Many students have burdened themselves with choosing classes that will help them excel in terms of college rather than personal interest. This is not to criticize it as a bad thing, yet as a universal mindset amongst a group. While this observation does not account for all 534 students, here at Trumbull High, it is safe to say a vast majority of students tend to focus on the future rather than the now. This can be seen as both a beneficial aspect of the ever-constant working mind of a college-bound student, and a jab at the intellectual toll we put on ourselves.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With such high stakes for some in place, this minuscule task of creating a schedule develops into something way bigger than intended. A game of tug-o-war becomes you, and you\u2019re left to decide which way you would like to be pulled. Albeit\u2014 it may sound dramatic\u2014the fate of your next year is ultimately up to you and the person you would like to be.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
