Would colleges think I am scattered?

So over my high school career, I have dabbed into a lot of things, not necessarily to impress, but to try and find what I like.

For the longest time I really liked math so I went to a math camp for 2 summers, after the 2nd summer, I didn’t like math anymore.

However, I have always had a passion for business throughout my four years of high school and have started our school’s business professionals of america club and I also have an extreme passion for band since I am a drum major and I absolutely love the experience.

After finding out I no longer liked math, I really began to like English because I realized that I am very good at literary criticism, AND I decided to start my schools’ national english honor society that will be started next year.

However, I have started robotics since freshmen year, we placed third at state and using my english writing skills, I have helped our sponsor win a $2500 robotics grant. I also have won a regional engineering competition.

So,would colleges think I am scattered? Especially the transition from math to english as being too “versatile” when in reality, I just am trying to find out what I like?

As I approach my senior year in high school, I have discovered my passions: music, business, robotics, and English.

Do you think this appears to be too scattered?
