Time management! Also, restrict yourself from unnecessary things..like watching television or doing other stuffs not related to your studies... you're still a freshie and you've got a long way ahead of you...you can do it..good luck :).
Personally, I think you're taking a bit too much. Not even the smartest kids at my school are that busy. But here are some tips that might help: -Prioritize: Keep the most important things, like school, at the top of the to-do list -Don't be fooled by the word AP: most honors and AP classes aren't much harder than regulars.
Keep in mind though, that expectations are higher and you go in more detail in "smarter" classes. But, overall, they are waaayy funner than regulars. -Do work little by little and not all once: you don't want to cram things in when studying last minute, or rush to finish a book or assignment.
For example, if you have a 200 page book to read, divide the page number by the number of days you have to read it, say 25 days. Then you would set a limit of how much to read a day, in this case, 8 pages a day. -Sports are fun, but should not rule: many people at my school are in multiple sports, especially the brainy ones.
They balance sports and school and friends well by taking the sports they can handle iin their availability of time. Remember, sports usually fall in different seasons, so you are not , or should not be, taking more than one sport at a time. -Try to do your homework when it's assigned in class and the teacher gives you free time.
Without being distracted by the phone or whatever at home, you can focus and most likely get your homework done before the bell rings, saving a lot more time than if you did it at home. I hope my input helped! Btw, i'm a junior in all ap/honors classes, so this is based on experience.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
