it bugs me anyways.

In my school, soccer is a fall sport. We also do one musical a year, which also takes place in the fall. In upcoming years, I may have to choose between which I want to do.

I don't mean to sound conceited, but I am the soccer and drama star in my grade. I was able to both this year by being in the chorus of the musical, and I will most likely do that next year as well. But, in my junior and senior year, the shot at getting leads in the musical and being on varsity soccer increases doubly.

What would you do? I do not think that I would want to go to a college to play soccer or for drama, so I'm just completely torn. On one hand, there are many opportunities to play soccer throughout the year- indoor in the winter, our town league in the spring, and camps in the summer. On the other, there is always a show going on in or around my town.

Both of these things are my deepest passions. I've never felt more exhilaration than when I am on stage or on the field.

I know this is really trite and stupid, but I am very confused about what to do.

i think we discussed this but don't you go to hingham high? or you at least know someone from there, sorry if i have you confused with someone else.

i say do one your junior year, and one your senior year. i would go with soccer both years but thats just because that was my sport. and you can join a bunch of theaters around and do a musical anytime of the year while you can't win a state championship with an indoor team

i can tell you from experience, i went through this same process with soccer and theatre my senior year. I had to choose between doing Works of Shakespeare Abridged or being a co-captain of the varsity soccer team. i chose soccer over the play, b/c the musical was in the spring. i have since wondered what it would of been like if i had chosen the play, but our soccer team that year went to the 3rd round of state playoffs. i went with my gut, and you should probably too.

Obviously soccer. If you're the "star" then it will get you somewhere. Possibly college.

soccer will keep you in way better shape... do what you like to do more... I would try to do both... soccer is usually right after school , and you can do rehearsal right after practice, and sleep really well at night hahaha
