Being 15 and trying to balance school with multiple passions isn't easy—but it's definitely possible with the right approach.
Time Management
My secret weapon is a simple schedule. I dedicate specific time blocks for:
- School homework and study (6-8 PM)
- Web design projects (8-9:30 PM)
- Cooking experiments (weekends)
- Badminton practice (4-5 PM, 3 days a week)
- Photography and art (as inspiration strikes)
Prioritization
Not every day looks perfect. Sometimes school exams take priority. Other times, a client deadline means late nights coding. The key is being flexible while keeping long-term goals in sight.
Support System
My family and teachers have been incredibly supportive. They understand my passions and encourage me to pursue them—as long as I don't neglect my studies.
The Benefits
Juggling multiple interests has made me more organized, disciplined, and efficient. Skills from one area often help in another—problem-solving in coding helps with strategy in badminton, creativity in art enhances web design, and so on.
Advice for Others
If you're a student with big dreams, don't wait until "someday" to pursue them. Start now, even if it's just 30 minutes a day. Small consistent efforts compound over time. Your age isn't a limitation—it's an advantage. You have time to experiment, fail, learn, and grow.
