You have a lot of personal interests and passions, which is great! Have you thought about teaching?
Right now, you can also explore volunteering at a local rec center or a non-profit that works with kids. This is a good way to build your resume and find out what path you want to take.
Thank you. I already am a volunteer at my church and I am working with children.

Hi Nisha,
I think DeAndre is right that teaching would be a great way to work with kids AND pursue one of your many interests - you could teach foreign language, or teach English in a foreign country (so you can travel!), or teach kids theater or music.
But there's no shortage of options for you - you could look into journalism, and report on travel or the arts or the environment. You could become a theater director. You could also look into becoming a social worker or working at a nonprofit that benefits kids or the environment. I hope you'll keep pursuing your passions!
