I can't make priorities...
15/f sophmore
Ok, I'm involved in a lot of extra curricular activities both in and out of school. So many activities appeal to me and I just keep joining things. They're things which I really really enjoy but that you have to make a commitment to, such as a once a week 4 hour orchestra rehearsal, jazz choir, daily cross country practice (which is over now), other clubs here and there, and soon mock trial. On top of that, I have all my schoolwork. Now, I don't mind being busy but what I'd like would be to stick to only a couple of big things and be really good at them. In other words, I want to start making priorities. But the thing is, I can't. I can't decide on what to focus on and what's the best route to take. One dilemma I'm having right now is with mock trial. I want to be a lawyer in the club and last year I didn't really have any parts. But the thing is, there's no 100% guarantee that I will be really good at it. And this is where the other thing comes in: I kind of want to be in the school musical but there's no 100% guarantee that I'll get a good part for that and also, it meets every single day which may be too busy for me. I've always dreamed though, of having a lead role in one of the school plays/musicals and MAYBE if I train hard enough now, that dream will come true some time in the next 2 years. There's no guarantees for anything. If I stick to mock trial I may regret not doing drama, but if I do drama, I might regret not doing mock, which I may be capable of being really good at too. And there millions of other things I want to do as well. I don't know what I have true talent in, though. My mind is all over the place. I don't know what to do with my life!!!

Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: School?
You should try to base your decisions on all activities as being which do you most enjoy. For example, which do you have more fun with, orchestra or jazz?
You will get further in what you have the most fun doing. Folks who have talent for acting LOVE doing it in the first place. Folks with a talent for music LOVE doing it in the first place.
Make sense?
Maybe that can help you decide.

well, if you wanna be a lawyer, choose mock trial over drama. it doesnt matter if you get a good part, it'll be good experience, especially if you wanna be a lawyer. choose things that either you're good at, or will help you a lot in the future. whichever you choose, just remember there's always next year where you can switch off.
