What are you sacrificing?

Pre-College Topics High School Life
1

<p>I’m currently a junior, and like many others, I wanted to “take it easy” my senior year.
Then I realized that in order to fullfill my dream studying the performing arts in NYC, I need to be in academic overdrive AND concentrate on my music.</p>

<p>In junior year, I’ve sacrificed a lot - mainly a social life, but I think it’ll be worth it once I gruaduate. Realizing I picked a full load for my senior year, apart from auditioning for all-state choir, be the lead in my school’s musical, retaking the SAT, and taking SAT subject tests, I can conclude that until I graduate, I will be in Hell.(Symbolically, of course!)</p>

<h2>Will it be worth it? Once I’m in New York, on a scholarship -YES!!!</h2>

<p>Your thoughts please?

<p>What about you, Romani?
Are you sacrificing anything?</p>

<p>Oh, and the social life part, I live in the DEEP South (AKA “Bible” Belt) I don’t really fit in, so I don’t really care for the people here except for my family, and very few real friends that I have lol</p>

<p>Nothing- their financial aid and scholarships just SUCK which is why I was saying please don’t say NYU.</p>

<p>Me? No I didn’t sacrifice anything. I’m going to a school I love, a major I love. I had an amazing high school experience with awesome friends and ECs and THEATER! Whoot. But I never put academics over anything.</p>
