I want to plan ahead....?

Question

i am a freshman in high school and i want to do all that i can to assure that i get into a good college. any suggestions?

Answer 1

take all the classes the are required to do the first 2 years, like health and speech and all that...then get ur main classes out of the way, that way u don't get screwed at the end because you didn't pass one, and you can fix it before your last year. then for the last 2 years you can spend it on classes you want to have like maybe art, or athletics....that is what I'm doing...

Answer 2
