| Advice on High School Courses, Please!?
I am a freshman in high school, and, for the past four years, it has been my dream to go to West Point. And, As I think about it, I was wondering about courses. Below I have what could possibly be my 4 year high school "plan." Just, framing it... do you have any suggestions as to what courses would look best for WP? I know I'm a freshman, but I feel the earlier I have my facts, the better.
At my school, an "A" is a 93%-100%, and, so far, I haven't received lower.
and, yes, I am taking took two languages
Sports:
I made the soccer team but got injured during the summer conditioning, disabling me from playing the rest of the season. However, I think I may want to drop soccer and run cross country the next three years. Softball is my other sport, and, although there haven't been tryouts yet, my old coach told me that it was a given I make it.
Futhermore, I play basketball outside of school.
Clubs:
I am part of the Latin club this year, but, as you will see, I am droppnig that class after taking it for two years and continuing French. So, I won't be continuing that club; I will probably join French Club, though.
next year, I plan to join mock trial
Fitness:
I run every day... sometimes twice a day.
also, I do strength workouts, box (on my own), etc
* I have a job... half I do for pay and half for community service hours.

And, possibly newspaper...could have the chance at becoming editor... or at least part of it. Belive it or not, I'm a good writer.... The above is not a good example...
all courses that I have completed so far are "A's"
Can you please give me advice? Which should I take? Should I alter any?
Oh, and what do you think my chances are?
What should I do about the athletics?
Thanks so much... in advance.
