Freshmen schedule and colleges?

Question

I'm a freshmen right now, and I'm taking 2 honors classes. (Geometry and Biology) I opted not to take honors English since the high school I go to has a very difficult honors program. I want to make sure I can handle them by only taking two my first year. (my counselor recommended that I didn't take all honors) I've always received straight As and A s, but will not taking English honors hurt me for colleges? I'm considering going into honors English and possibly Honors History in the later years, but have I messed anything up by not taking all honors freshmen year? I'm not talking about Harvard here (could never afford it). I want to try to get into a good school though and earn a scholarship.

Answer 1

How good are you with the subject? If you want to take honors, you HAVE to make sure you can handle it. That means you will have to work extra hard (homework and tests) and do you have any help at home for when you don't understand something? If you answer yes to these questions, I don't see why not. But ONLY if you are willing AND able to handle it. Good luck.  

Answer 2

I chose not to take honors english because i can take it in 10th grade and honors geometry and biology is worth focusing more on. i signed up for an AP human geography class though.
