Re: Dilemma
David,
Congratulations to you on your Senior Year.
One of the greatest freedoms we have is to make our own decisions.
You are now at a crossroads in your life. You will need to make decisions that will shape the rest of your life. You are faced with the same problem we face every year in build season...
Too little time.... too few resources..... more things to do than we can get done.
You will have to make this decision....
Whenever I have had to make a decision as hard as yours I sit and ponder... the answer comes to you in your heart. You will know what to do...look inside for your answer.
I am not going to presume to know what your pressures are... it certainly would be nice to be able to do everything we wanted to do... to be the star football player... the best student.... the greatest robot programmer... to get into every college we apply for...
I have never met anyone like this...
Great people take a path... and they follow it to its conclusion...they apply all of their effort and faculties to the problem and move towards greatness ...
There is no coincidence that there are no professional football players that have won the Nobel prize.
There is also no coincidence that no Nobel prize winners have ever won the Heisman Trophy...
In the end it has little to do with intelligence... it has to do with drive... and the direction you put your effort....
I would employ a student who works hard and does his best in a heartbeat over a
4.0 student who just coasts along and doesn't do their best.
Look deeply into yourself... find out what is right for you.... honestly evaluate the reasons you want to do certain things and then make a decision....
It is up to you...
