What about a LANGUAGE?

~ great idea!

BUT is a 2nd language required ??

For graduation? NO For trades or vocational programs? NO For university entrance? … maybe

It depends on if you go straight to university from high school, the program you choose, & the university/college you attend. It’s a good idea to keep your options open!
