My high school required you to take a foreign language (either 3 years of one, or 4 years divided among 2 languages) but I find it ridiculous that people are expected to plan out the rest of their lives at such a young age, and if you mess up even in the slightest it could derail your entire future... which sounds super dumb to me
Schools: Teach you about how the teenage brain isn't fully developed and that they cannot plan for the future as well as adults. Also schools: Yes you should know how to plan your entire future by now. Tough luck if you don't.
Sadly schools are more concerned about sending kids to college than actually preparing them for life and how to actually plan out a proper future. I got lucky and my school required 2 years of foreign language but unlike the rest of the district we had a second option is option Mandarin Chinese. And our teacher was even better because She continually tried to work with the college administration for the UC system to get her class and curriculum to be accepted as a college level foreign language.
@@clonescope2433 I agree. And even then, it seems like schools throw information on the kids until they eventually know how to "learn for college". You can't build habits for college if no one shows you. Schools don't show you basic financial skills unless you specifically take a course for them. Taking out loans and paying taxes should be taught in at least one of the main required classes, but it's not. A lot of teachers also don't really seem very interested in helping kids succeed, but a few do; and it sounds like you got a great teacher like that. You rarely see this kind of effort put in for the benefit of the students.
@@Liam-091-n2v I think in America high school starts at 14 (so in Freshman year you'd be 14). Might be wrong though, I'm not in the US just researched it a bit.

Honestly, high school is super stressful and one of the most stressful things is worrying about your future. Me being a freshman I already have to worry about planning my life and colleges I want to get into, and there are college scouts at a lot of my hockey games (I play AAA) which stresses me out to an immeasurable degree. I wish I was back in elementary school when all you worried about was when you would have a sleepover with your friend.
Me being a sophomore really gets that, because now that we're getting into the senior part of high school, we really have to invest a lot of our time to keep up our percentage so we can get into good schools
I’m in late middle school and extremely nervous for high school. Tbh I’m scared of being an adult. As a person with not rly any talents and not many jobs I’m interested In thinking about having to plan out my life is terrifying
I’m a college freshmen. Been through it. That’s the reality, so man up and stop whining. These are the things that separates successful and focused individual from a complainer who would end up working at Walmart
@@jammel3653 Being stressed is completely normal so who are you to tell me to “man up”. It’s not like I’m sitting here crying about it. Yeah everyone goes through this shit. Doesn’t make it any easier.
Some schools don't look at freshman year grades! It's also important to show consistent growth. I had horrific grades freshman year (I'm talking D's here) but I improved to a solid A student through hard work and dedication. Don't sweat it if you bomb a class, it's all about how you bounce back. Good Luck and don't underestimate extracurriculars.

If you talk to them about what makes you special and don’t just focus on how you got an A+ and a 4.0 your freshman year and give the interviewer respect and show humility, then you have a higher chance of acceptance than the majority of those annoying try hards you hated in high school

@@Emilia3745 internships help more with job application, extracurricular activities are for college admissions. try extracurriculars first, internships can wait for college + beyond.
@@Emilia3745 I agree, if you really want to be a vet I would recommend trying to find internships and focus on that. Don’t let your grades drop but don’t worry about doing every honors class out there, that’s for college admissions when it comes to the 1% of the hardest universities. If you get a solid 3.0 or above and have a lot of internships or anything that relates to being a vet and use that in your admissions then you have the advantage over other students because the college will see determination and something that makes you stand out from all the other students that act like a heard of sheep when it comes to doing all the honors classes and all the additional AP classes. This is something thats been quite frankly over used and to the majority of college’s this stuff doesn’t matter to them. What matters to them now is seeing where you wanna go in life and what you’ve done to make that a reality and what you’re going to continue to do.
One thing to remember, college isnt the only option. Trades are hiring st an all time high right now, and the pay is fabulous. One thing I'll tell you, you don't need college to be stable. Find what you want to do in life, and find the cheapest accredited way to acquire those skills.

“learn a foreign language” me who has been learning swedish since i was 11 and recently decided to learn japenese for some reason: *my goals are above your understanding*
As a actress who's busy I do dance, acting, singing out of school, but I don't really have time to do things in school because I have a ton of performances/filmings
as someone who has made it through freshman year and is going to be a sophomore, if you don't fully accomplish all of this it's okay! i tried to do a lot of this but also i am an anxious person and i was so scared of overworking myself that i held back. but honestly, i am really glad i didn't do every single thing i originally thought i would freshman year. it helped ease me in to being at a new school and focus more on the classes i was taking/the present and not what would happen if i did or didn't pass that test. one failed class will not make or break your whole chance of getting into college. long story short do what you can realistically achieve. passing the easier class will be a lot better than completely failing the harder one.
not as disappointing as i thought, only thing im missing out on as of start of sophomore year is good study habits, took tons of honors classes, excel in art and pickleball, on my third language (fluent in ASL & english, learning spanish)
I'm in my junior year of high school now and I can say that I only did two of those things in freshman year... I did honors classes and I did Spanish 3 and Latin 1. (It's terrible doing two different languages at the same time though, especially when the verb conjugations are super similar but slightly different between the two languages). I still don't do any extracurriculars which is probably hurting my chances but I literally have no time because I'm doing five AP classes this year (APUSH, Calc BC, Physics 1, Research, and Lang) and they are really stressful lol. To make it even better, I had to also pick two electives so those are Latin 3 and Chamber Orchestra... which aren't easy either. I'm also in NHS, which I hope makes up for my lack of extracurriculars... and I volunteer at the library every Tuesday for NHS hours. Oh, and I started a book club at school. so yeah... this year is a big yikes and senior year is going to seem like such a breeze after this one (hopefully, even though I'm planning to take 5 AP classes next year too life is so great)
Wish I knew this a year ago, but here’s where I’m at as a sophomore, rate how I’m doin: Going for an advanced diploma Will finish my math credits 2 years early at the end of the year Taking honors classes that I can/know about (honors English) Doing coding this year and hopefully tech architecture and design by next year Hoping for AP Java next year I do wresting, I’m not good at it but I try Will be trying out for baseball Will be finishing forgin language credits this year
9th grade I didnt even know what GPA was, let alone planning a future... definitely prepare your foundations, but dont ruin your life over it. Im in engineering now and will apply go a top 10 aerospace engineering graduate program with a highschool gpa of ~2.5 Its not the end of the world, but do what you can to make this path easier, but most importantly be happy while you do it, or you may end up being one of the many people ive seen who are in engineering with me because its what they prepared for for yearsss and they never left room for their lives and turn out to not like the path their on
That’s crazy you didn’t know about it till freshmen year. My counselors in 6th grade talked about it because you had the option to take a language in 7th grade. They were talking about how even if you take a language in middle school, it can still affect your gpa, and this was when they were introducing to us course registration for middle school as 7th grade was the start of middle school.
Starting tomorrow, many other RUclipsrs who posted on this subject have crappy advice. This one is key.My dad told me this yesterday but this video refreshed the main concept. Thanks for the tips. Wish me luck.
I'm in ninth grade and I'm doing almost NONE OF THESE THINGS- except for except for extra curriculars. My only excuse is that picking a language to learn isn't required.
I’m currently in middle school, and i find your videos very helpful to prepare for the future, but if it’s ok can you maybe make a video on like SHSAT tips?
Im a freshman this year and I’m planning on doing a lot of extracurriculars, golf, marching band, track, MYIG, Key club, quiz bowl, set crew, and nhs. But they won’t be all at the same time so it will be easy to manage
I will say it’s good to do a lot of thing in 9th grade to figure out what you like, but you should definitely go quality over quantity in your later years as you narrow down your interests.
My dream has been to open my own sporting goods store and I'm going to 8th so I'm excited to make it to high school and want to see the joy of kids and people after buying gear as I did as a kid
I'm not a sports person unfortunately. They aren't interesting to me, but I'll definitely take art clubs and stuff in high school! Drawing is a great talent i have and i want to continue it. I saw there was also a photography club, maybe i could try that for a bit.
foreign languages is required in my school (i’m taking german lol grüß dich) im in a writing club and im gonna take violin lessons/join the orchestra maybe next year + im in honors english/literature and have been in advanced classes and won academic awards throughout my entire school career thus far
I was in 7th grade of middle school and already took 2 honers classes and now 3 this year geo, world history, and phy science. As well as the highest reading class. 😊
I don’t like how he emphasizes “to better you chances of getting into college”, like you’re pretty much going to get into college regardless. It should be “better your chances of getting into a good college”
Hi, I am deciding what type of high school fits the best for me: the scientific or the linguistic track... Both of them are extremely challenging (maybe the scientific track more) and I like both of them. On one hand, the linguistic track will give me the opportunity of learning 4 languages like a mother-tongue, on the other, the scientific track will stimulate me on learning more deeply math and science. Learning languages it is "easy" for me, even if I've never studied it: when easy thing happen to me, the tendency is of not taking the advantage of it ( if French it is easy, my impulse is of not studying it enough) Could you please help me on this decision? maybe making a video, talking about how to choose the best high school for you?!
9th grade is critical so I am trying to up my grades by studying more and get my last year's average score from 95.05 to hopefully 98% of I go insane I will reach that 99%
Exactly, everyone is like once you hit 9th grade you need to think about college and stuff about your career. Its literally to much to process in all one sitting
My school requires you to take a co-curricular activity(CCA) I chose to be in Information Communication Technology so this isnt really a problem for me but there are others such as soccer and boy scouts and modern dancing
You'll watch an entire Netflix show even when the first episodes are slow and boring just because someone told you "it gets better." *But what if you looked at your goals like that and watched your life get better instead?*
I was actually so surprised that some schools in other countries dont require you to take classes of a foreign language, i thought everyone learned a foreign language or 2 (mostly English) from 1st grade
i’m in an alternative school and i only can do the basics for school, i really don’t know how this will affect my school and i’m kinda worried, i don’t know how to get my language courses in.

They were talking about how even if you take a language in middle school, it can still affect your gpa, and this was when they were introducing to us course registration for middle school as 7th grade was the start of middle school.
Starting highschool today, been repeating this video over and over again lol
Hey!! I just love your videos so much.... Can you make a video on how to build good reading habits? It would help me so much 😊😊🥰🥰
Starting tomorrow, many other RUclipsrs who posted on this subject have crappy advice. This one is key.My dad told me this yesterday but this video refreshed the main concept. Thanks for the tips. Wish me luck.
I'm in ninth grade and I'm doing almost NONE OF THESE THINGS- except for except for extra curriculars.
My only excuse is that picking a language to learn isn't required.
Thanks! Knowing what to do is really helpful!
me watching this in senior year while in the process of applying
Finally, a video that can help me
I’m currently in middle school, and i find your videos very helpful to prepare for the future, but if it’s ok can you maybe make a video on like SHSAT tips?
Im a freshman this year and I’m planning on doing a lot of extracurriculars, golf, marching band, track, MYIG, Key club, quiz bowl, set crew, and nhs. But they won’t be all at the same time so it will be easy to manage
I will say it’s good to do a lot of thing in 9th grade to figure out what you like, but you should definitely go quality over quantity in your later years as you narrow down your interests.
Thank You Gohar I Just Completed Middle School Now I Will Be Starting 9th Grade Thx For The Advice
I’m on my first year of middle school and I’m glad I know this in advance
My dream has been to open my own sporting goods store and I'm going to 8th so I'm excited to make it to high school and want to see the joy of kids and people after buying gear as I did as a kid
Just go to community college if you can for the first 2 years so you can getting a understanding of college.
God I hope I’m doing okay now. Just got selected for my National Honors Society.. and I’m a junior-
I'm not a sports person unfortunately. They aren't interesting to me, but I'll definitely take art clubs and stuff in high school! Drawing is a great talent i have and i want to continue it. I saw there was also a photography club, maybe i could try that for a bit.
foreign languages is required in my school (i’m taking german lol grüß dich) im in a writing club and im gonna take violin lessons/join the orchestra maybe next year + im in honors english/literature and have been in advanced classes and won academic awards throughout my entire school career thus far
I’m saving this video until I reach high school next year
I was in 7th grade of middle school and already took 2 honers classes and now 3 this year geo, world history, and phy science. As well as the highest reading class. 😊
Thank you so much your videos are so helpful
This is good advice, maybe I should start doing this! (I'm a senior)
😂 real
I don’t like how he emphasizes “to better you chances of getting into college”, like you’re pretty much going to get into college regardless. It should be “better your chances of getting into a good college”
Hi, I am deciding what type of high school fits the best for me: the scientific or the linguistic track...
Both of them are extremely challenging (maybe the scientific track more) and I like both of them. On one hand, the linguistic track will give me the opportunity of learning 4 languages like a mother-tongue, on the other, the scientific track will stimulate me on learning more deeply math and science.
Learning languages it is "easy" for me, even if I've never studied it: when easy thing happen to me, the tendency is of not taking the advantage of it ( if French it is easy, my impulse is of not studying it enough)
Could you please help me on this decision? maybe making a video, talking about how to choose the best high school for you?!
if you are forced to learn languages through school it'll be less fun, I'd say the scientific track
Thanks for your opinion! I will obviously take that into consideration…
Freshman here! Could you do a how to prepare for a midterm? I’m scared for mine lol
i’m getting ready for life as a whole in highschool, let’s go, this channel bout to be my SAVIOR
Covid-19 moment for me. Lockdown hit hard af
I just got recommended this and I’m already halfway through the freshman year 😮
Ok, so extracurriculars, foreign language, honors, and study habits. Got it.
BRO IM ALREADY HAVE WAY THROUGH FRESHMAN YEAR AND NOW IM SEEING THIS
When theres no extra curriculum activity in your PRIVATE school. . .
I can't tell if that's bad or god mam
9th grade is critical so I am trying to up my grades by studying more and get my last year's average score from 95.05 to hopefully 98% of I go insane I will reach that 99%
I’m a football quarter back so all I need is a solid school and a football school that can help me hit NFL
I am going into high school next year so thank you for this advice ❤️
ok this is perfect that i’m seeing this because i’m in eight grade rn and i’m already so overwhelmed and i’m worried i won’t have my shit together 🙁
Exactly, everyone is like once you hit 9th grade you need to think about college and stuff about your career. Its literally to much to process in all one sitting
Yourube really recommended me this 2 years later when i am halfway through grade 11
Going into seventh grade and I think this will help a lot in nice in my freshmen year.
I'm in 8th grade next year I'm in 9th-grade I'm taking this into consideration Thank you ! :D
now make a quarantine version
This helped me thank you
Thanks for the advice
Me watching this my sophomore year: yes thanks for the advice
Not having a coronavirus pandemic would help 🗿
thanks for that im going to high school in less than a semester away it helps alot!
My freshman year starts in 5 days. I’m so nervous but also my dads the CEO of my school so it’s kind of like my home away from home.
goodness this one is really useful because I'm starting 9th grade soon I'm already learning a language thanks for the help!!
At my school they require multiple extra activities and at least 2 years of language
My school requires you to take a co-curricular activity(CCA)
I chose to be in Information Communication Technology so this isnt really a problem for me but there are others such as soccer and boy scouts and modern dancing
You'll watch an entire Netflix show even when the first episodes are slow and boring just because someone told you "it gets better." *But what if you looked at your goals like that and watched your life get better instead?*
I wouldn’t watch that Netflix show though
I don’t enjoy foreign language but it is a good thing my school requires 2 years of foreign language to graduate (French, Spanish)
Thank you so much. I'm in eighth grade right now and I needed help on what to do for 9th grade. So thank you.
I was actually so surprised that some schools in other countries dont require you to take classes of a foreign language, i thought everyone learned a foreign language or 2 (mostly English) from 1st grade
Where I live you’re required to take two years of the same foreign language in order to graduate lol
"9th grade is all about laying the foundation"
Virtual learning:
I'm watching this the day before the first day of my sophomore year
