Maybe it's okay to be a well-rounded student...

Me three! I have one “passionless” (not counting Minecraft) and one that is torn to pieces by “passions.” The sad part is that in the latter case none of the adults - coaches and teachers - are willing to make concessions and encourage well-roundedness. Like vultures vying for a piece of this poor kid, they all are competing for 100% of her time and energy, forcing her to choose between activities and ridding her with guilt. Yeah, that was overly dramatic. But it makes me sad and angry nevertheless.
