Thank you for the response to my question. I am a senior in high school who rows. Crew takes up such a large amount of my time with practices 6 times a week, but it’s well worth it. However, I’ve had to give up such things as Speech and Debate, something that I thoroughly enjoyed doing, in order to prioritize a sport. In college I want to make sure that I get the most out of my 4 years, finding and pursuing interests that I might otherwise have passed over in high school. Right now, it seems like my life revolves around school and crew, and though I do enjoy rowing more than anything, I was wondering about your opinion on balancing a serious sport commitment in college with the many great opportunities you mentioned about your first semester.

Thanks!
