Does anyone have a high school student NOT in honors or AP courses?

And while you're getting good grades, you have to play a sport well AND volunteer your time to the community to be considered for the "finer" colleges.

Yup, you have to be good at every thing! I know many ppl who unfortunately are involved in NHS and sports only for their HS transcripts 4 college. AP classes don't add stress into my life though, i find them interesting and exciting.
