can someone help me narrow down my schedule?

i have problems with descions and am doing many after school activites. i want to pick a few to continue for as long as possible and get really good at. im 14 and finishing up 8th grade. i play bass guitar and take lessons, i really like it and would hate to give it up. i think its a cool thing for a girl to do also. but i have small hands. ive been doing flamenco for the last year, am getting the hang of it, but have a very unorganized teacher. im not sure if its worth the time or effort. i do all the plays and musicals at my school, for im a very good actress and singer, but idk if thats too time consuming and competitive. i take random acting classes at a local museum, but again, time-consuming, and stressful to memorize lines. ive played the flute since 5th grade and take very good lessons. i plan to play for the rest of my life, so i hope to not be forced to drop this. i am hoping to make a minor career out of modeling, because i was pciked out to meet the VP of chicago elite last sumer, and have grown since then. i however have to be careful to be skinny and tall enough. am i chasing a dream? i sing for a very unorganized rock band in my neighborhood and its not very time consuming. i dont think its necessary to drop this. i used to take voice lessons, but idk if thats not worth it. im not an amazing soprano- more like an alto but with a really pretty voice if i practice. im on the xc tema at school and run a lot. this corresponds with my modeling idea, because it helps me stay inshape. and i lvoe it. im not very fast though. im dropping basket ball i believe, which ive played since around 3rd grade. my mom is encouraging me to join the swim team at school like my brother, which also is great excerise. half the practices are in the mroning so its less time consuming. my dad wants me to play golf and work on getting a scholarship because of it, andi have a very good knack for the game, as a beginner. it, however, is a crazyy time-cnsuming sport and joing the team at school (which id do next spring) would also take some time. i dont know if its worth playing a less-excerciseful sport but i think its cool to know how to do something i can do forever. i am very interested in journalism, creative writing, and poetry (and song writing). i rock at that stuff and am an excellent public speaker (comes into play in acting also- should i stick with natural talents?) i love art, and always have been. im really one of the fine arts with my painting and sketching, instrument playing, singing, writing, and acting. but anyways, i have a gift with art but i dont know how to practice and become better fi i choose to. private lessons? owrkshops? i dont know! but thats way too much stuff! you see? i want to not do a ton of things and be ok at them, i want a few things that ill shine out in. i know im especially good at a few things but i cant narrow things down. pleeeeease help me
--------------------
Here are my recommendations: Keep the bass and flute lessons. Keep playing/singing with the band. Try writing an original song for the band to play. Drop the dance lessons. Instead of the next acting class, pick up an art class at the museum. Drop basketball. Don't bother with golf. Keep running (you can do THAT forever, also). You might consider swimming, also. With time and experience, you'll find that all these disjointed activities are really connected, and the intersection point is YOU.
