Take a foreign language in high school helps in a number of ways. For starters, many colleges require learning another language as part of their general requirements. Colleges let you test out of this requirement, which saves time and money.
When you apply for a college they will see a copy of your transcript, so the classes you take do matter. Colleges want well-rounded individuals, and taking a more difficult elective, like language, shows you are willing to work hard.
