I definitely think that the opportunity to learn French at such a young age impacted my future path, as it was the jumping-off point for my attending the IB program at San Diego High School. French helped me learn Spanish and has also opened up the path for me possibly working in a French-speaking country. Because I learned French, my options are broader as to where I can go.
