Speech and debate are also incredibly helpful. In college, a political science major is popular but by no means reqiured. In fact, if you major in math or science you not only have access to more scholarship money during college (especially for women) but you can potentially qualify yourself for a very profitable career as an intellectual property attorney (patents, copyright, trademarks). You have fairly wide choice of majors in college -- they key thing is to get top grades (mostly As). Study hard starting this year and you'll do fine. Aim for at least 90 minutes to 2 hours of homework a night, at least Monday through Thursday, and maybe 30 minutes to an hour on Friday.
