Today, the 3rd September I walked to my school to enrol into year 13. What this means is that I must choose the subject I want to drop so my subjects go from 4 last year to 3 this year. The subjects I'm taking are: History, Sociology, English LIT and Philosophy. Right from the start I never liked or cared for Sociology I find it boring and repetitive. Unfortunately I got an A in AS for sociology, this went along with my A in philosophy, C in English and D in History. I was devastated. Considering in my mocks I got 3 A's and a B. I felt robbed.
The obvious choice wouldn't be to drop sociology however, I hate it and couldn't think of anything worse than taking in into A2. I decided to drop Sociology, retake one paper from History and continue with Philosophy and English.My head of year however was not happy with this decision and told me to come back tomorrow so I could sleep on it and go in hopefully with different choices. This got me thinking how much of myself can I put into my education if my lest favourite subject might override my favourites because of a grade. Could I really take Sociology next year if I felt so strongly against it because I would have more security.
I decided no. I would rather work harder in subjects I honestly loved than spend 5 hours a week in a subject which I detested. Sorry by the way if you like Sociology but my option stays the same.
Any thoughts on my choice? If you're going into sixth form or A2 what subjects are you takng? Tell me down below.
