Stuck Between Two Options

[rcmolloy]

Ok everyone,

I am currently stuck between two options with my path for senior year. So I have played football for my 3 year career at my high school. With that said, freshman year was the most fun out of all of them. Now, it seems like the sport is a job and something I do not want to be apart of anymore. Everyday I go to practice and I dread it. Football is fun and all but there's too much negativity associated with it. I'm currently not even guaranteed a starting position. So whats the point? With that, it is my senior year and should be fun.

On the other hand, my parents want me to work as well. I know with a job I can have a much more positive attitude because I get to apply to places that I like to be around. For example, a ski shop. I love to ski and snowboard so I think that would be a great place for me. Even though the job market is tough, I know I could find a place to work in the summer. Also, I could focus on the robotics part of my life as well. That is something I never want to go away. The organization has given me so much opportunity for fun and creativity.

So for CD, I need some assistance for what I should do? Should I do the thing I don't like that much but still see my friends on a daily basis or open my life to a new experience?
