#TeenLifeStyle: Triple A Excellence – January 26, 2016

By: Stella Alverson @StellaAPSB

Our Principal, Dr. Banks Bitterman, has a daily mantra at Buford High of “Triple A Excellence.” This includes achieving excellence in the academics, athletics, and the arts. Personally, I try to exemplify all of these by playing volleyball, singing in the advanced chorus, and challenging myself in the classroom every day. Buford offers a plethora of Advanced Placement classes, and I have several on my schedule as I start to eye what it takes to be ready for college.

My goal is to attend a college or university well known for their academic curriculum. With that in mind, I am already looking at how to be prepared for the challenges that come along with that academic path. As college applications begin to draw nearer, I’m taking harder classes and trying to better my standardized test scores on both the ACT and SAT. I have not taken the SAT yet, but I took the ACT this past December. The scores just came back and I made a 33 out of 36. As a sophomore that score, which was in the top one percent of students nationwide, puts me in great shape to keep moving in the right direction towards my goal. I plan on taking it again soon with the hopes of adding at least a point if not two or three.

I just got my transcripts back from last semester, and here they are:

Spanish II: 97
AP World History: 104
Advanced Chorus: 100
Honors Chemistry: 101
Accelerated Pre-Calculus: 100
AP Psychology: 106
Honors World Literature: 99
