    Wow, Dorthea2410! You've already got a good sense of proportion and perspective. The best advice I ever got from my drawing teachers was that I needed to loosen up. My lines were too rough and segmented. They suggested drawing standing up and drawing on bigger paper. If you don't have an easle, you could use those large wooden clip boards they sell at art stores (way less expensive). By drawing standing up you'll be drawing with your arm and less with your wrist. Having a relaxed wrist leads to smoother lines ("less jaggies" my teacher said). Other than that, I'd say you're way ahead of me when I was a sophmore in high school. Keep at it and with a strong portfolio any art school would be glad to have you.
