Chapter 2 BHHS "With your current GPA of 1.9, it is very difficult to get into a prestigious school, and your resume is too poor.Why don't you sign up for the school's sports team, just like me?
”Catherine is a slender and tall 6'1" taller than a professional model, and has been the main player of the BHHS women's volleyball team since 10th grade."
BHHS will give training subsidies to all players in all sports, and the amount of football is the highest, and it would be a waste not to be a football player for your size.Once you're in the driver's seat and get some results, you might be able to try to apply for a full scholarship to the university.Ideally, if you're good enough, you'll even be added to the university's admissions office's priority list, which will make it less difficult to get into a prestigious school. ”Catherine imagined.She squeezed Ethan's shoulder."
And you're so strong, it's a pity not to play, who can afford to feed you when you eat so much meat?""
The most important thing is that the big star Sarah Gayla is in the cheerleading squad, don't you want her to cheer you on?"
Catherine laughed.It's not the first time Catherine has spoken to Ethan about this, and Ethan's answer is the same as last time......
"I'm not interested." ”Ethan shook his head."
I think about the money myself, as for the college entrance examination, football is just the icing on the cake, and the GPA and SAT play a decisive role, right?
Then again, the ...... about AP courses is that Ethan clearly has an urgent idea about AP courses.AP courses can be simply understood as advanced placement courses, with a total of 37 courses, which have a higher weight when calculating GPA (the full score is 5 points), and in fact, it has become a must for applying for prestigious schools.At least 4 doors to pass, the more the better.Ethan is ready to use AP classes to boost his GPA, which is not easy, of course.However, Ethan has found a subject that can easily get an A+......
Chinese Language and Culture!
and several relatively easy art subjects, AP Art & Design Project, AP Art History, AP Music Theory.In addition to being relatively easy, after taking these courses, you may be able to put the pop culture products in your mind to use, film music, and so on.and AP English Literature & Writing, AP Microeconomics, AP Psychology, AP Human Geography.There is also a special subject - AP Computer Science A.In 1994, the subject was not taught JAVA, which didn't seem to have been invented yet, but the Pascal programming language.The future is the age of computers, and when will we wait if we don't learn now?
There are eight AP courses in total, as well as the usual honors courses, and you have to think about making money.How can I have time to play rugby?
Hearing Ethan's thoughts, Catherine laughed: "How did you become like an Asian?"
”Seventy percent of BHHS students are white, one percent are Asian, and as for the black students who are more likely to be in other schools, only 2.2 percent of the student population, or less than 50 students.In school, Asians tend to be only interested in learning, and are not very interested in extracurricular activities such as sports, art, and music.This is also reflected in the grades, where Asian-American students have an average SAT score of 1,300, compared to 1,100 for whites and 900 for blacks."
Okay......
You'll have to go at least one of tomorrow's trials.Then disguised as a weak little sheep, he was eliminated early. ”Catherine shook her head helplessly."
As for making money, you don't care about it now, I'll figure it out."
Catherine shook her head and looked at the abrasions on Ethan's cheeks.Ethan asked her how she made money, but she didn't reveal it.The two then talked about their mother, Mia, and Catherine said she was now working three jobs at the same time and was back to her former profession as a screenwriter.Before getting married, Mia used to be a professional screenwriter in Hollywood, at that time, the "new Hollywood" had not yet arrived, and the traditional film industry continued to be hit by the television industry, but now it is different, in 1994 there were many masterpieces, and in the following years it ushered in a wave of development peak, Ethan was very supportive of his mother's plan to return to the old business.It didn't take long for Mia to call the two into the room."
Hear Catherine say you're going to play football?"
Mia asked expectantly.Football, in the mouth of the United States, generally refers to "football", which is also the national sport of the United States, and even bragging about the deeds of children playing football, there is an inexplicable fanaticism.Ethan looked at Catherine and saw that she had been giving her a look, and nodded."
Great, are you hungry?
I'm going to make you something to eat?
”Mia's face looked a little haggard, probably due to fatigue, but the smile on her face was real.This is the first time she has taken the initiative to make a supper for Ethan during this time.It can be seen that this is to "make up" Ethan and strive to achieve good results tomorrow.lt; divcss=ot; ntentadvot; gt; Ethan shook his head, indicating that he was not hungry.When leaving, Ethan took the garbage that had been placed at the door.His room was at the other end of the corridor, and he walked alone in the corridor, thinking of the current situation of the family and the future, Ethan inevitably felt a little depressed in his heart......
Throwing it in the direction of his memory, he threw the garbage steadily into the trash can at the edge of the hotel parking lot, which was about 30 yards away.The original owner has two strengths, one of which is purely literal, and the other is that he has excellent hand control, darts, billiards, and even arcade machines, the original owner plays very well, but he is deeply influenced by the original owner's brother's GEEK, he has not been very interested in sports since he was a child, which also causes his skin to look a little pale.You can't really be a natural rugby player, right?
Ethan imagined.It's not really necessary to train on a rugby team, but if you can play it, the result will be completely different.The most direct impact is that it can quickly increase the prestige in your school, and some things are very convenient to do, such as selling medicines.Don't underestimate this income, the student families in BHHS are rich one by one, and if someone spends money, someone will make money.In the long run, football is truly the number one sport in the United States, and the value of production is also the highest, with a total revenue of $16 billion in the NFL in 2019, 1.6 times that of LB and twice that of the NBA.It can also be seen from Mia's reaction that the sport has a transcendent status among the people.The ancestors have a saying that more skills are not pressing, one more technology, one more way.There's no reason Ethan wasted his talent.But the premise is that you do have the talent for it.And tomorrow's trial is a trial.Early the next morning, Ethan and Catherine got off the bus, and now they had to leave an hour earlier to get to school on time.BHHS does not have a grand gate, the school building is completely facing the street, and there is not even an extra fence on this side.It's not that the school is financially tight, but it's that it's located in a very expensive area of Beverly District, and the campus is naturally not much bigger.And it's not a bad thing that the campus is located in the core affluent area, at least not because it doesn't have to go through security before entering the school gate, as some high schools in Tennessee do.During the morning rush hour, there was already a congestion on Moreno South Road in front of the school, and this was just the parents who drove their children to school, in fact, the majority were students who drove themselves to school, and they went directly to the nearby parking lot.As for the dress of these students, it is very characteristic of this era.As early as 1994, some of the most fashionable teenagers in the United States began to wear miniskirts that reached four inches above the knee and boldly exposed the leg line, while the boys were deeply influenced by skateboarding culture and hip-hop music, whether it was pants or tops, they were fat and big, carrying skateboards in their hands, with headphones around their necks, and the other end of the headphones was connected to the ALKAN in their pockets.American high school students do not have the concept of a "class", and the class you take in that classroom depends on the subjects you choose, and the classmates around you will vary.A few acquaintances between classes were particularly excited after hearing that Ethan was about to participate in the Normans tryout.Between the words, I'm going to ask Ethan to help introduce the senior sister of the cheerleading team.If the college cheerleading team belongs to the United States, the University of Kentucky, the University of Louisville, and the University of Southern California are indistinguishable from each other.When it comes to high school cheerleaders, BHHS may be recognized as No.1.There is no way, the parents of the students here are all engaged in art and film, and the children are also deeply affected, one can dress up more than the other, highlighting a Southern California style......
After spending a dull Spanish class, an experiment on the reaction of iron and copper sulfate in chemistry class, learning about ancient Egyptian civilization, and being assigned a homework assignment for "A Tale of Two Cities" by the English writing teacher......
Ethan wrapped up his entire lesson for the day.At this time, it is only half past two in the afternoon, and until six or seven o'clock in the evening, which is the time for club activities.Ethan walked alone to the Niccolò Stadium and looked at the green field covered with yardage scales, like a scale ruler.Before he could take a closer look, he heard an exclamation as an oval rugby ball slanted downwards and slammed into itself like a cannonball.Ethan jumped on the spot at the right time, raised his hands in the air, and easily picked off the rugby ball that was falling at high speed......
