Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>I currently torn between two things I really want. I have been dancing since I was two (hence the name Twinkle_Toes) and I love it completely. But more and more, I have been realizing that I need a job. I would love to do both, but there is one problem: Time. I intern at this entertainment coporation three days a week (weekdays) and the other two are spent doing volunteer work. The only days I would be able to dance/work is on the weekends. If I quit dance and started to work, would it look a little strange to colleges? What would you do in my case?</p>

<p>Thanks so much for any input.</p>

<p>Dance. You have the rest of your life to work. </p>

<p>Unless, you really need the money or something. </p>

<p>I don't think the colleges will see it strange, but they will definitely like the fact that you've been committed to your dancing for so long.</p>

<p>keep dancing if work is not an absolute necessity. I've been playing soccer since I was three and had to stop because of injury, and every day i wish i could play one more game. When i hear about people in situations similar to yours, I think it's crazy that you're even considering giving up something that has been a part of you for so long.</p>

<p>what do you need work for? fill out college application? I'm not an expert, but I would dance, rather than doing a minimum-wage job.</p>

<p>hey, what kind of dance do you do? I am in ballet and practice 6x a week. That's basically all I do, except I'm in orchestra, but I have stopped taking lessons privately because there is no way I can do both.
Definitely dance-you can get a job later in life, but enjoy dancing while you can!</p>
