Who am I? What kind of person am I going to be? What organizations/clubs/extracurriculars will I associate myself with? All familiar questions, no?
But how does one simply choose a single thing to be a part of in a world of infinite opportunities?
Why should we choose just one?
I am currently facing this problem. Having somewhat of a self-declared "divergent" personality, it's hard for me to decide on one thing to call "my thing".
I love music. I've been playing the piano for seven years, the cello for three years, and singing forever. I'm the music nerd, and that's basically always been my title at school.
I also like theatre. I've fallen in love with plays, musicals, acting, and everything Broadway.
Additionally, I enjoy reading and writing. When I'm frustrated or passionate about something, I like to put it into words on paper.
I'm told I would make a fantastic teacher. Having taught some piano lessons and Bible studies, I also believe this to be true.
I'm developing an interest in health science. The electives offered by my high school really appeal to me and would help fulfill my desire to help people using my own experiences.
So who am I? Which path do I take?
I am told by society, my high school, colleges, my parents, my friends, and myself to choose just one.
But again, why should I have to?
Why can't I live out all of my passions?
