[quote=Anonymous]Focusing on passions sounds good but as you entered 9th grade, did you really know what your passions were?

I had never played an organized sport of any kind when I started practice before the 9th grade.  That was more than 35 years ago and rarely a week goes by when I'm not out practicing soccer that I picked up on August 15th, 1979.  It wasn't such a big sport in the rural area I grew up in.  I never won anything personally but I was the 13th man on the state runner up team as a senior.  Memories I will never forget.  I also know the pressure I faced trying to make varsity and in state JV tournaments helped me learn to focus and deal with my nerves during tests, both in the classroom and for the SATs.

My suggestion is to go out for a sport as a freshman and see where it takes your DC.  Admissions is not going to hold trying a sport against a student.
