How to make my music dream a reality? Any advice?

[thacher]

I've loved music since I was little. I started playing guitar in the second grade and fell for it. I was not a really good classical guitar player, but I enjoyed it a lot. I hated practicing and disliked my teacher. I quit in the fourth grade. Then I decided to teach myself electric guitar and took up clarinet. During sixth grade, I was put as the first chair of my band. I was ridiculously happy and honored. I was supposed to be put as first chair in eighth grade as a senior of school. But I wasn't. A girl a year younger than me was put as first chair. And I lost hope in myself. I've always loved music so much though. So I continued. I began singing, only to realize I was cursed with a naturally sour tone. I've always had good grades, but have struggled to get into higher math classes. Today I was denied acceptance to an academy for high school. All my life I've been told I can't do things. And all I want to do for this world is to tell people they can if they have passion. My friends, family, and teachers tell me I'm perfect, but why don't I get anywhere? I've really liked law since I was younger too. And being a little smart, I thought I could go to law school and then pursue music if I felt like it. But things are not that simple. I am here to ask you what I should do to improve. How can I do what I love? How can I beat the people trained that don't love music as much as me? How can I be smarter and make it to law?

I am only thirteen, but I worry about my future.
I really do appreciate your answers :)

Don't worry about it two much at the moment, Your are only thirteen. But your full of dreams at the moment, Law would take you so far in life its unbelieavable, but you have to work hard. If you want to persue both, think about doing law first. School, college and Uni, so you have all your qualifications to fall back on if things don't work out.

While your studying, you can still write and play music though, Go into your local town and busk; Thats how Laura Marling got famous. Also upload youtube videos and get people to subscribe and share your music around.

Hope you find you calling in life :)

I think, as a 15 year old from the UK, that you should follow your dreams, and your gut instinct. People are going to tell you that you can't do things and you're going to be denied a lot but that's life sweetie. I'm sorry to say that but it is.
I think before you decide on what you want to do, as it seems like you've thought of a few options, you should talk it out with your parents because people over the internet aren't going to know you like they do, and maybe talk to a few of your friends about it.

As a 28 year old man; here is my advic to you.
Do not read into things too much; you'll lose more time than if you take everything at face value.
Don't get too angsty; life cannot be planed it sorta happens to you. Anything you can't control is something you can't be expected to control. You're not weak if you just focus on what you can.
And music is expression; believe in your own taste.
