<p>Hello everyone. Today, I was thinking about what I might want to take in college, and I realized that my extracurriculars and my classes are very diverse and spread out.</p>

<p>Here are my classes and EC’s related to each of my interests:</p>

<p>Art:
-Currently in Photography- 1
-Will be taking Photo-2 Next year.
-In art club, hoping to get an office next year.</p>

<p>Law:
-Member of Youth In Government, running for office next year.
-Member of Close up.</p>

<p>Music:
-Will be in Piano IIII by senior year (taking Piano every year.)
-Starting a Piano club.
-In a music theory class.
-Will be taking AP music theory next year if I have room.</p>

<p>Linguistics:
-Will have taken French 1-4 by senior year.
-Will have taken Latin 1-3 by senior year.
-Will have taken Spanish 1-3 by senior year.
-Will have taken Chinese 1 by senior year.
-Looking to join french & german club; run offices.
(Im doing as much as the online school offers, only 1 of chinese and 3 of Latin and Spanish.)</p>

<p>Journalism/Creative Writing:
-If I have time, my friend and I plan to create a Writing Club (My school lacks in serious academic clubs.)
-Will be in English Honor Society next year.
-Might be taking extra classes over the summer, including Creative Writing ones. </p>

<p>Now, I am only a sophomore, and I am still “testing out” my interests. Though, lets say I loved all of these clubs and classes (which I do), and decided to stay with them until senior year. Would that be seen as: “Oh, he doesn’t know what he’s interested in. He has no passion.” ?</p>

<p>No, it would be seen as, “He has too many passions to accomplish anything meaningful in any of them.” First of all, how do you plan on taking 11 years of language before you graduate? After you resolve this difficulty, you should narrow your interests a little more and really devote your time to one specific organization or activity.</p>

<p>for the languages, can’t you just take the ap test or sat II? that’s really all you need to show for your talent in foreign languages. And then you’ll also have more time to focus on something.</p>

<p>Weasel8488, I’m taking every other language except French on the Florida Virtual School. I didn’t make that clear enough, sorry. And I’m thinking of focusing down to language or art, possibly (my strongest points).</p>

<p>DeantheMachn, that is a great idea, and i’ll look into it! thanks!</p>

<p>Becareful of FLVS. It’s great to take all those extra classes but they really do weigh you down if you don’t manage time (or if you have so much stuff going on extra time really does not exist). Since you’re a sophomore don’t burn yourself out too early and try to focus on two of those 4 areas and truly develop them. There has to be specific activities you LOVE over others and when you end up applying, you’ll be able to show your passion for those activities and the awards you collected for them in the interim with true sincerity.</p>
