Ok, so we’ve determined that choosing isn’t exactly my specialty. Man, what a character flaw! Sigh. So, we went to an Olathe North musical over the weekend, which brought back some old high school memories. And I was reminded of how I had this issue back in the early 80’s. Band or vocal music? Actor or pit orchestra? Calculus or Computer Programming? Biology or chemistry? (OK, so, I did actually prefer chemistry…)
So, here I am, some quarter century later still having the same issues. I tell myself tat this is what makes me unique. This is how God made me and I need to accept that. but then, am I just kidding myself? Had I chosen to concentrate on trombone, I would have made state band. And I would have missed some fun Northwinds opportunities.
The issue at hand now, is, do I encourage my kids to be “well rounded” or do I encourage them to choose?
