Perhaps. To keep yourself on track for places like Harvard, make sure that, in high school, you take at least:
- 4 years English, emphasis on composition
- 4 years math
- 4 years science (specifically bio, chem, physics, and an advanced course in one of those subjects)
- 3 years history (including both American and European)
- 4 years of one foreign language
- 1 year arts

You also want to take the most rigorous courses available to you.

Because you are home schooled, your SAT scores are going to be extremely important. Keep that in mind, and prepare for that test.

Continue with the gymnastics and volunteer work. As you move through your high school years, try to take on something meaty in at least one of your activities: for example, run the fundraiser for gymnastics next year, and take on an officer’s position for your team in your junior year. That’s just an example – you can do something else if you prefer.

Slowest attack speed in the history of boredom!
