Hey Knot, I know what your talking about. I think I was complaining to you about it walking home from the quartet concert (the night I was saying "We have to leave NOW!")... "I am pretty good at a lot of things, I wish I had time to perfect one of them. I wish I could be amazing at just one thing."
Prodigies have their life set out before them. Luckies.

But many prodigies don't enjoy playing the instrument. It's the rare one that can actually make a career out of what they're doing, and be satisfied with it.
I relate. High school is cruel in that it forces a person to learn about diverse range of subjects when you really just want to focus on one or two that really appeal. For mature kids (like you), who already know where they're going, it all can be a real pain in the behind to coordinate.
