4 years of English.

At least up to level 3 in a language (Though colleges like to see more; if you’re taking other challenging courses instead of a language, I think you’ll be fine).

3+ years of math (at least up to pre-calc).

3 years of a laboratory science (esp. if you want to go into a medical field eventually).

3 years of history.

And since you’re interested in photography, any photo classes your high school offers.

At least, that’s what was recommended to me. Good luck!

Don’t worry about taking Latin again. You’ve already taken two years of it, and that is generally the recommended amount of time. Taking Latin was a good choice, by the way, especially if you are going into the medical field. Colleges will notice that–it will look good. If I were you, I’d take any science courses your school offers, especially anatomy, biology, and chemistry. Medical terminology would be good, too, and it would be a breeze for you since you have already taken Latin. As far as your other interests, you need to take a variety of courses, like art, photography, or whatever else floats your boat. That way, you can explore and choose the best path for you.

What colleges or univesities do you have in mind? I’m considering being a heart surgeon as well and was wondering the same thing about courses.

in case you have a gut feeling to flow someplace, persist with it. you look like somewhat a pupil, and could actually try your strategies out. alongside with your lecturers you will obtain lots of scholarships, etc. once you college seek, be sure which you renowned what everybody can provide. If there are some issues approximately one which you dont like, i would not get your coronary heart set on it. Staying in Florida wont enable you unfold your wings and journey out. notwithstanding, in case you went up north, its an entire new section, with lots of latest human beings. In total, that is thoroughly your determination. desire I helped.
