Hi Umeh!
So many wonderful ideas and advices so far. Another area you might want to explore is studies in event management. I think that this could help you find ways to combine the things you're currently enjoying and make a difference in multiple industries. I would definitely encourage you to research online to understand better if this path could work for you.
Best of luck!

Hello, Umeh !
Based on the things that you like to do, you might consider Acting for stage, film and television. Everything you've mentioned that you have an interest in adds up to being a performing artist.
You can explore the world of acting in your country by reading more about it. I have left a link to a website below with lots of information about it. Your interests and pastimes also point to journalism and I have left a link below for more information about it. Becoming an athlete would not require you to talk a lot. Another career that comes to mind that aligns with your interests is becoming a teacher. Teachers talk most of the day, play with kids, can coach sports and have great positive influence on their students.
Another great career would be to go into radio broadcasting. I have left a link for you below for Fast Knowers. It explains all about going into Radio in your country.
It may be too soon to settle on just one career right now. Give yourself some time before you enroll in college and really think about it. Sometimes people get inspired while they are in college, however, it is never too early or too late to think about your future career.
There are some websites online that help people think more about which career may be suited for them. I have left a link below for Career Girls which would be some interesting reading and you can take a quiz to see what careers may be suited for you. Career Explorer also has a quiz to take to see which careers you'd be good for. I have left the link for it below.
My advice is to take your time and spend it exploring all the things you enjoy. You'll want to choose a career that you will be eager to commit to and will have great satisfaction doing.
I hope that this is helpful and I wish you all the best !

Hi Umeh,
It is a good idea to look for things to study that match the activities you're good at! A lot of people either become good at the things they enjoy doing, or they enjoy those activities because they're good at them. Another approach is to identify a few activities you enjoy but maybe are not as good at yet-- that gives you the motivation to study something you can improve at.
Since you enjoy moving your body (dance, sport, play) and talking, you might enjoy studying areas that make good use of those strengths. For example, what about performance (music, theater, etc), or kinesiology (related to physical performance, sports medicine, training and coaching)? If you like speaking in front of a group or sharing your knowledge, you might enjoy studying education or maybe media & broadcasting. Perhaps you enjoy interacting and talking with people 1-1 and you could look into fields like psychology, speech pathology, journalism, and more. Market research and UX research can also involve a lot of interacting 1-1 with people to get their opinions and you need to be an engaging talker and good listener.
Hope this provides some ideas to spark your exploration!

Hello Umeh.
These things you mentioned seems like your hobbies. Most times people decide to pursue career paths in line with their hobbies. For instance - You could be a Journalist, dancer, footballer etc.
However, its also advisable not to only look in line of your hobbies. You need to think ahead- where would you like to see yourself in 5 or 10 years, what dreams do you have, what impact do you want to make? If you can answer these questions then you will get some direction on what to study.
Another thing, school work involves some brain work, so you can pick a course that you will be comfortable studying and passing.
