It’s that time of year time to make decisions that could (slightly) impact the rest of your life. The time where the decisions in the air create a thick smog of possibility. Choice sheets. They can make or break the up the coming year a class might have a description that sounds interesting you sign up excited for the new year. You go to school with your new clothes excited to learn something new. You take one step into the class and you know that this is what you want to do for a living. Or that this is a blow-off class. Many of you have probably already turned in your forms, but for those of you still on the fence about what classes you should take. I will explain each class you can take (excluding current 8th graders ).
