So, I have to spend an extra year in high school on account of the fact that I missed a year of school in Grade 10 due to my parents' idiocy in taking me out of school to pursue some business "dream" they've always had. So, in essence, they sacrificed my education for their dream (which failed utterly for one of them; they're divorced), and now I'm left to pick up the pieces.
I'm 17 and turning 18 in November, and since I have to spend an extra year to get the credits I need to graduate, should I take this time as a blessing and do some AP classes in preparation for University of Waterloo Sceince in september? If the do the former, then I'll be going into a field that piques my interest, but I'll end up a year behind my peers.
Alternatively, if I rush everything and apply to Honours Arts at Waterloo and attend in January, I'll be in university and only a semester behind my peers - but taking courses I don't really have much interest.
What do you guys think?
I also have to brush up on my math (I haven't yet taken Grade 11 yet not because it is difficult, but because I just have been preoccupied in other courses) so maybe the first option is best?
