What is something you wish you could have done, that you weren't allowed to do?

In high school, not only was I not allowed to be in Jazz band, and I really wanted to be but I couldn't be in it because I'm a clarinet player and they didn't allow clarinet in the jazz band at my h. s.

I also, and this is actually more for the rest of the school system I was in was, that, I wanted to be a male cheerleader (yes, mostly because of the girls, but also because I found it cool and always felt like I would have been good at it) but, all the schools I went to, didn't allow co-ed. I don't know if all high schools and school systems are like that but, yeah.

My school DID have a gymnastics team but, it just isn't the same as cheer.

Any body who says, "you're gay" for wanting to do it... guys, were originally, the ONLY cheerleaders. Girls just sort of "took it over". George W. Bush, was a cheerleader

Two things:

First, I wanted to attend the US Naval Academy. I had a full medical examination, passed all of the academic tests and the physical fitness acceptance test (there are dozens more details omitted). I was nominated, but not appointed.

Okay, on to Plan B, which was Navy ROTC.

My goal was to become a naval aviator and fly an F-14 Tomcat. Before signing on the dotted line, I was given another medical exam, including the eye examination of a lifetime. They did everything buy pop my eyeballs out of their sockets and hand exam them.

Verdict...

"We're sorry, but you vison is slightly deficient (long medical explanation). Under current Navy vison standards, you don't qualify for unrestricted flight status." No Tomcat for me.

Those are the only things I didn't secede at and remain my biggest regrets.

I wanted to be in band or orchestra. In orchestra I want to play the violin with my cousin or if I was in marching band I would’ve loved to played trumpet or percussion. My parents said we don’t have the money for you to be able to rent an instrument so I got stuck with choir but I mean I had been singing for a while and I love singing so it ended up working out but I would love to learn how to play other instruments besides the piano and singing

Oh, I also wanted to be in "orchestra", but, it's "strings" only

Same for my high school but I was just meeting in general what sometimes they do concert together the name of the orchestra so it feel like a full orchestra
