Trig a challenge for CHS students

     Trigonometry is known as the hardest class in Chadron High School, and many people agree that it lives up to this expectation. Junior year is also know to be the hardest year of high school, and many students take trig during their junior year.  Trig first semester this school year is a class combined with few seniors, a freshman, and mostly juniors. The juniors taking challenging courses are usually extremely stressed and most are also involved in extra curricular activities. How do students taking such a challenging course survive? Although many consider the class challenging, some slide through the course with no problem.

      One thing strongly suggested by past and present trig students is always stay on top of you work. This also proves to be very challenging by students who are extremely involved. Many students also enjoy doing their homework in a study group, this way they can help each other with weaknesses. Although, some students prefer to work alone and get it done fast.
   
      Alex Eisenbarth a current trig student says the hardest part of the class is, "the amount of homework issued to you." Although this is not a required class in the high school, many teachers suggest that you take it if you are planning on pursuing a career in the medical field, mathematic field and much more. Alex does his homework both alone and with fellow students. He says, "It depends on how long/hard the assignment is. If I do my work in a group it's at Hannah Jamison's house with a variety of people."

      Everything challenging also comes with pleasure and Alex says he enjoys, "...talking to Bradley about subjects off the topic of trig; he knows everything. Hannah Jamison says, "I enjoy the challenge. It pushes me to do better." Out of all the stress and homework that comes with it Hannah Jamison says, "I know it'll all be worth it in the end."
