We’re going to go over each subject area and what classes you need to take in them…
Many people believe that a person are born with the amount of intelligence that they will have. They think that there are smart and dumb people- people who are good at math, people who are good writers. You may not even know you think this way- The brain is actually more like a muscle- it gets stronger the more you do it. And scientists have been able to show just how the brain grows and gets stronger when you learn. When you learn new things, these tiny connections in the brain actually multiply and get stronger. The more that you challenge your mind to learn, the more your brain cells grow. Then, things that you once found very hard or even impossible- like speaking a foreign language or doing algebra- seem to become easy. The result is a stronger, smarter brain. String Exercise
