Hello(:
I’m 13 years old, 8th grade. Female(:
My GPA is 3.7, or somewhere around there!
I’m on the MathCounts team,
Honor Band,
I play Volleyball
I have played guitar for 7 years,
clarinet for 3 years,
I am teaching myself how to play piano&piccolo,
I sing, but ony at home(not in public yet!)
I love working with computers and making movies(I’m not that bad at it)
I am in our schools rock band,
and I participate in summer camps for volleyball and guitar, and one guitar summer camp I go to teaches us how to work with recording equipment.
I have a lot of friends, only a few people dislike me,
I love poetry, drawing, and storywriting(in my freshman year in highschool I will take journalism 1)
and I can bake and cook(I am taking culinary arts nex year!)
I am interested in art, especially painting and drawing,
I’m not very pretty:(,
I’m planning on attending Juilliard for guitar,
I’ve been interested in becoming famous lately, for playing guitar. I perform at local farmers markets, guitar recitles, rest homes, school talent shows, I have been on the radio, I have met Sharon isbin, I have performed at a park with my band 2 times, my brother and I have performed together around town, and I’m inspired by my older brother and Sharon isbin!!
Am I balanced in all of my interests? Or am I too focused in the musical section? Please tell me what extra classes I should take in highschool next year?
So far I’m either doin jazz band or pep band. Thanks a lot!

Answer by the old dog
Sweetheart “no one” is balanced.
Not a soul. We try and we try to be the model of humanity, the fairest of them all and the one to look up too concerning life and it’s mystery but balance we humans are not.
All we can do is the best we can individually. We will fall short every day but we go to sleep at the end of the day only to wake up the next morning to try again: try to be the best we can.
But there is no one short of “Jesus of Nazareth” who is balanced.
You live your life as best you can and you live your life that the utopian idea of balances is a myth as huge and infamous as the myth of Santa Claus.
For a young teenager you are active and you dream big but darlin you are no more balanced than the universe is.
