Can anyone give, advice me on this agenda I have ?

Hi Donghyeok Yun,

That's great that you know which path you thinking towards after high school and college! Although grades are important, don't get me wrong about that, they are, but only for your education. In reality grades are not really worth anything outside of the real world. Sure it would be great to be the top of your class in AP Human biology, but that doesn't flow on your resume/CV/Portfolio. Don't get me wrong you should work hard for your education by all means but do what you want to do as well.

What about when you are learning new things on treehouse you start a Blog about the new stuff you have learned or make a portfolio of your experiments when you have the time... that way you can say "not only I have the basic knowledge of what I'm showing you, but I am also creative to do new and exciting things".

Hope this isn't long but I would say work for your dreams and your education but i would stop worrying a little about grades.

And who knows maybe AP Bio will probably be useful someday :)

First thing I would tell you is to relax. If you are planning this much at fourteen, you are far ahead of most people. I am sure you are going to do fine in your life!

I would say your job right now is student. It really is where you should focus most of your effort. Colleges and future employers will evaluate your potential based on how well you do at your current job (and that is student). But that doesn't mean to be obsessed and lose track of all fun and games in your life. So, definitely do as well as you can in school, but don't let it make you crazy, and do some things for fun too. After all, your life is already started and you should enjoy it as much as possible.

As far as Team Treehouse, it can teach you a lot, but it also can only teach you so much. Once you have the basics, you can really only learn by coding your own projects. Hopefully if you like making things with code, then you will learn over time and have fun doing. Even if it seems slow, you will realize after a while that you have learned a lot.

I am not sure where you are from. If you live near a big city, there probably are clubs and opportunities to meet with technical enthusiasts of all ages. Then maybe you can get involved in some cool projects and also meet people who can give you good advice about opportunities near where you live. I mean, especially if you live near a big city, there may be professional people or college students who do these activities, and they will be happy to have an interested young person to be involved. This would especially be true in US cities, but it looks like you may be from Korea--still, I think there must be some similar things there too.

I am very sure that if you spend time on Team Treehouse, and also coding projects for yourself, and try to team up with some other enthusiasts in your local area, by the time you get to college you will be very well positioned to do whatever you want to do.

I wish you well.

Dropout. Its stressing you out and a waste of your life. Grades don't mean anything especially in tech. If you are creative then why in the world do you want a normal job working for someone? You kill your individuality every day you stay indoctrinated into the slave school system. The school system is made to create worker bees. The world needs more creative types and school kills creativity.

Donghyeok,

I agree with Sue, except I try to find a legal and ethical solution to all problems.

Talk to your parents about being homeschooled. Your parents should know the work you are doing and what you plan to do. Work out an educational plan that both you and your parents can agree to and then follow your plan.

I am not sure where you live and the laws that would apply to you.

To homeschool legally in Texas, you must follow three state law requirements:

The instruction must be bona fide (i.e., not a sham). The curriculum must be in a visual form (e.g., books, workbooks, video monitor). The curriculum must include the five basic subjects of reading, spelling, grammar, mathematics, and good citizenship.

TeamTreehouse could be 90% of your curriculum as it includes reading, spelling, and mathematics.

Contact your local school district for additional information. I know in Texas you can obtain credit by exam through Texas Tech ISD.

Examples like this reinforce my belief that education must be reformed.

Best Wishes,
