What Electives should I take to prepare for college?

Electives in preparation for college should really tie in with the individual's personal interest. What I always like to tell my students is to feel it out, explore courses, but stick with it when they find something they like because continuity is impressive, focus and staying with something is a good trait when thinking about electives and preparing for college. I often hear admission officers say I'd rather see the student with two or three areas of interest that they have stayed with over the course of three or four years, than the student that has ten things that they've done over one semester. So I say take a look around, see what your high school has to offer, maybe even take a course while you're in high school at a nearby college to find what you like and then stay with it.
