Indeed, and I really like the language, but I'm not sure how well I'd be able to pursue any high degree or qualifications in it, possibly just enough additional study to be very fluent as to be able to look somewhat sophisticated when using the language

EDIT: French since elementary school, 7 years to be exact.

I know having a foreign language degree is so important for finding jobs with some major corporations since most of them are involved with other overseas corporations. I know a lot of companies are looking for students with that extra major or minor.

Mhm. I just think I'm ready for a full dissent from my family and my background. I'm the most jet black sheep in a crowd of snow whites, I am nothing like anybody I know, and I would just like to achieve a lot more than my family and other people I'm around have, so being able to communicate with more people around the world and getting a better career would definitely be something I'm interested in.

Well, good luck to you. You sound more like a senior than a junior! Most juniors are not thinking too much at all about their future.

Thank you, I've been considering college and course choices since even last year, and the funny thing is, scholarships that are for 18+ continue to call me almost daily offering me things, but when I tell them I'm a junior and only 17, they all laugh and say "oops, you're a bit too young for our program, but it's a good thing you're already looking for college information, check back with us next year", although I doubt I will.

I'm not trying to specifically plan what I do or everything about my life, it's a waste of it and pointless except to add unnecessary stress. And yes, many juniors even at my school still are clueless about what college they even might attend, or what career they're looking for (sadly, even a handful of seniors.. and they get out of school next week.. eek). But I'm also already enrolled at LSUS and BPCC for dual-enrollment and get college credit for my AP classes daily and also go to extra classes on campus to get my hours, I like being ahead of the game and enhancing myself, in whatever way is possible.

Just curious, how did you do on the ACT and did you paricipate in the writing segment? I think it is optional at this point but I may be wrong! Are SAT's optional for LSU or do you have to have ACT scores? Sounds like you would do well with the SAT with your writing skills.
