When I was young, I thought it was important to be good at everything. Getting an A in English didn't mean squat if I got a B or C grade in Math. School was all or nothing. I can't help but feel like I wasted a great deal of time and energy stressing about grades in subjects that I haven't used since.
That being said, those experiences shaped me. Without them I wouldn't be me.
BUT...
If I had to give some kid advice now, I'd advise that kid to stick with just one focus. Be crazy obsessed with just one good class, skill, or subject. Ignore people who tell you to be well-rounded.
