<p>take a look at non-fiction writing and geopolitics.</p>
<p>If you are weak (or not as experienced) in writing, I would strongly suggest a writing class. Poor writing skills will sink you faster than anything in school, and if you are looking ahead to college – those grades from 10th grade and up are absolutely critical. Since writing is a part of English and Social Studies and even Science, poor writing skills can really impact your grades.</p>
<p>some other possibilities are:</p>
<p>CTY <a href=“http://cty.jhu.edu/summer/index.html[/url]”>http://cty.jhu.edu/summer/index.html</a></p>
<p>or check out some of the boarding schools and attend their summer program. look at exeter, andover and others.</p>
<p>You will have more options next year when you are older – but this year you will really be limited.</p>
