<p>Instead of choosing between your heart and your brain, how about taking all of your body parts over to a community college?</p>
<p>Could you handle one community college course on top of your regular academic courseload and extracurricular activities? Every community college on the planet offers calculus. You could take the directing course at your high school and take calculus at the college. That way, you would get to take the course you really prefer, but you wouldn't be behind in math when you get to full-time college.</p>
