[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's a catch-22 for you... I took 1 year of a language in HS, and then dropped the language in order to take Music Theory (3 years leading to the AP test). Languages weren't my thing, and music was....so I figured, why not. Fast forward 6 years....I'm in college waiting for my invitation letter into one of the largest honor societies (Phi Beta Kappa....I think...) and I don't get one. I have the right GPA, so I contact the main office.....Turns out, in their list of requirements, you need to have 4 years of a language (HS-level or later) to qualify for admission. I had EVERYTHING else. So, had I kept taking Spanish in HS, I would have gotten in. I'm actually not suggesting either course of action....just that you really never know how decisions may impact you down the road. There's no way to plan for everything...[/quote] Do you wish you had done it differently? You pursued your interests..which is what life it about.[/quote]
