Ok, I have a decision to make that will pretty much determine my future. I’m trying to decide whether to continue doing marching band, or to do field hockey. I can’t do both.
Band: I love to play the flute, and next year, practically the whole band is looking at me to be Wood Wind Captain and the “leader of the flutes”…I’m not necessarily looking to be in band in college. When you’re in band in college, it takes over your life...I don’t want that. So, in other words, I’m not looking for a scholarship in band. Granted, I have a lot of fun in marching band, but it takes up pretty much your whole summer. You’re constantly at practice, and if you plan to have a job, well you can’t. You can, but it’s hard to find someone who will give you that much time off.
Field hockey: Like band, I love to play field hockey. I’m a sporty girl, so...it just…fits me. On top of that, the field hockey coach was talking to me and told me how she’s seen me, said I have a lot of potential. Also, she said that she knows I could go to places like Australia, like she did, for field hockey. She said, “To sum it all up, you could give LHS field hockey a whole new meaning”. I want to play field hockey in college, and I am looking forward to trying to get a scholarship in it.
Ok well also, many people have told me that colleges like it when a person starts something their freshman year, and sticks to it throughout high school. In my case, that would be band. So I don’t know if I should just stick to band and look good for colleges. But then again, I don’t know if it’s worth it, because I already have scholarships right around the corner for my academics.
All in all, I don’t know if I should do what I want to do (field hockey) and let people down, or just not let people down and do band. I know that the obvious answer is to do what I want to do, but it’s not that easy for me. I’ve always been a kind hearted person, and hate to let people down. To me, the worst feeling, besides losing someone you love, is to let people down and disappoint them. So, I don’t know what to do, and like someone else said in a previous post: “What do you do when you have a problem or question? Ask GT”
So, what would you do? Thanks in Advanced.
What would you do? Advice please..
