    Default Was there a craft/art/sport you wish you would have picked up in your youth?

    Looking back now I wish I would have put more time into singing and hip hop dance. I was great at both but too focused on basketball, badminton and martial arts. I was asked to join choir on many occasions but thought it was social suicide. I did back up dance for a hip hop group, but didn't really have a passion at the time. Seeing the Filipino community kill it at hip hop is inspirational. Other than that I could have put more work into tennis, but I was really good at badminton I stuck to that. Even competed state. Looking back it's the musical arts I really missed out on

    I wish I would have studied languages as well. Even brush up on my own. Going to the Phils now and communicating is challenging. When you're a "jock" the arts is never an interest

    I wish I kept going with my first musical dream of being a drummer, when I first listened to AC/DC and Iron Maiden as a young teen, I fell in love with the mean guitar sound and I switched to that when I already had my first crappy drum set, sold to buy me a Strat and a cheap 15 watt amp...I don't regret learning the guitar, just wish I also stuck with learning to play drums.

    I wish I had stayed with guitar at 16 instead of giving up almost instantly and not picking it up again until years later; I would be way better by now.

    I wish I would have been taught to throw left handed. There is a future in left handed pitchers

    Playing guitar, drums, team basketball, badminton. Was also interested in learning how to troubleshoot some basic car problems, like changing flat tires or downed battery but school schedule back then didn't give time to allow learning them.
