<p>Was born in Quebec (French Canadian) and currently live in PA. English was my second language and I now speak better English than French... Does it reflect badly that Im taking French throughout highschool even if I am a native speaker? (Keep in mind that i never learned to read or write before the classes and DO NOT speak french at home, for example I could say i was trying to "perfect" my native tongue)</p>
<p>Oh, and I'm planning on majoring in Engineering (possibly biomedical)</p>
