Immediately after entering high school I joined the Color Guard and Winter Guard, the Family, Career, Community Leaders of America(FCCLA), the JROTC, Cross Country, Varsity Mariachi, and the University Interscholastic League competitions (UIL). This was solely my freshman year, and as the years passed, I began joining more groups. Some of these groups were seasonal and less time consuming than others, so I was able to…
