I spent most of my high school time trying to become drum major, my dream. So I came to every band practice and performance early, and put in maximum extra time for my first three years. Then when my drum major tryouts came, I did not get it, or anything special role in the band, which freed up my time commitment again for my senior year.
I am doing cross country and swim team with my new free time, its not like I could not do it before, I just used to think it would hurt my chances at drum major. I joined cross country because starting last spring, never before, I just loved distance running for some reason, I would jog almost 6 miles a day. I used to be a competitive swimmer also, but I stopped in high school to focus on band, and I started again this year because I always wanted to do it. Now I am filling out resumes for ROTC and Service Academies, when I look at it, it seems like they are resume fillers. I don’t know if I should just not mention the sports at all.
