<p>we are seeing our counselors really soon about course selection. i am going to be a junior. i am in span 3/4 h and barely getting bs, i have a c average on tests, but i barely got a b-. i headr the 5/6 teacher is really hard and that people dont like her. i didn't plan on taking spanish 5/6,m but i tal;ked to my counselor and she said she highly reccomended, and only if i really really didn't want to i shouldn't. i plan to go to a middle to low uc or high cal state or a private college. what should i do? i need to know asap. should i take span and maybe get a c , but probably a b, but have to work hard or not enjoy it? or should i take an elective, probably get an a and enjoy it and have more time to do other things.. adice??</p>
<p>if your plans stay the same for college then dont worry about it. you should be fine if you dont take it.</p>
<p>i was in the same situation as a sophomore. i had a B, almost a C, in German III. the teacher was really tough, and I just didn't get the language. So I switched into Latin I for junior year, and now I realize I'm actually very GOOD at languages, but no one taught me the basics (e.g. i didnt know the difference between the accusative and dative case was until I was a junior because no one ever taught me). i took another language so i still technically have four credits of a language under my belt, even if it isn't the same. It is not as good as following a language all the way to AP, but is better than quitting after sophomore year</p>
<p>For the past two years I've had straight A+'s in latin, and I don't know where I'm going next year, but it will probably be a top college (i got a really good sign from BC yesterday!)</p>
<p>alright thanks, any more advice please??</p>
<p>also if i took chinese 1 or french 1, would that count as the reccomended 3 years??</p>
<p>why is this urgent you still have until monday?</p>
<p>yeah i got till monday, so i have only 2 days to figure out what to do.. mildly urgent, can someone help??</p>
