Challenge Yourself( not what your neighbor said) The strength of your schedule (curriculum) is important because it tells us how you have been challenging yourself. Maybe you decided that you wanted to challenge yourself and take the strongest curriculum possible. Maybe you realized that you have strengths and interests in certain subjects and opted to take the highest level courses in those areas. Maybe you have a lot of out of school commitments and took strong courses in all areas but knew you weren’t able to handle the most challenging curriculum. Hopefully you’ve found the balance that works best for you.
