Is it normal to know you are better than someone else?

Question:

Is it normal to know you are better than someone else?

I have taken voice and piano lessons since I was in third grade. I am a junior in high school now. I have been to All-State four times, and two colleges have already told me they want me to come sing there. My chorus and drama teachers always tell me how good I am, how much they needed me, etc. I have never had a main part in a musical. I know that some of the people who get main parts are not as good as I am. Am I wrong to want a main role and to feel cheated when lesser trained people get bigger parts?

I'm sorry, I guess I should have realized how the question would sound. "Is it normal to think you are better than someone else?" would be more appropriate.

Let me explain my situation a little more. I have taken voice and piano since third grade, and have participated in Festival ever since, getting Superiors every year but one. I have been to All-State four times, and I was an alternant Soprano for GHP last year, only missing it because I screwed up my sightreading. I sing in two chorales: the advanced in school, and a highly recognized chorus outside of.

I have been lectured many times on humility, and I believe I have it.

As far as colleges goes, I sang in front of the Director of the Atlanta Opera at Brenau, and was asked to come back and audition. The other was from Piedmont College.

I just feel frustrated sometimes when others "worse" than I am get main roles. I try to tell myself it's coming, but it's very frustrating.
