<p>Firstly, I thank everyone who took the time to reply to my original post your comments have been very helpful.</p>
<p>Secondly, I wanted to see if the comments would change if I gave my rather different scenario. The only reason I considered dropping French this year was because it was a regular class (versus) all my other honors classes, had it been honors there wouldn’t be a problem as I would be on track to take the AP French Lang. I just moved to the US this past year and for whatever reason my french skills were lacking and so making honors French doesn’t seem likely, would it still be worth taking another year of regular french which might just seem like me trying to go to college or would it be better that I follow my passion and do independent research instead?</p>
