In high school, I thought Spanish would have probably been the most practical foreign language to learn, but I wanted to do something different. I took 3 years of German and a year of Japanese

I kinda wish I could have. I had honors Spanish in my sophomore and junior years, and then I made the honors course again senior year but the professor talked me into joining the advanced placement class, but I knew my limits and told her I would fail. Side story nobody asked for: She said if I got a C it would be worth an A, so I begrudgingly agreed. Halfway through the year, we were informed that a C would in fact not be worth an A, but that didn't matter anyway. I flunked it and I had to go to summer school. On the bright side, I spent the summer in an all-female school that only allowed boys during the summer, and I met some crazy cute, funny girls there. It was worth the F.
