Every day we make decisions. Both
small, and large, that well affect us for the rest of our lives'.
Even a small decision like choosing to text and drive or not wearing a
seatbelt can change us forever. These little things can turn into
life altering events. Being high schoolers we are faced with
decisions all the time. They might not be ones major ones like
deciding to get married or choosing a career but our decisions now
will affect the future ones.
For example, in high school we start
forming friend groups. The people you hang out with usually have
things in common and they have the same values. A decision you have
to make is which type of people you want to associate yourself with.
Some of these groups don't make the smartest decisions like choosing
to smoke and drink all the time. If you choose to be apart of this
kind of environment you can get into trouble and that can change your
life. Choose your friends wisely...
Another huge decision we have to make
is college. College. Its such a scary thought. Were you decide to go
will truly change you. Thousands and thousands of dollars will be
spent which makes the decision so much harder. You have to choose
whether you want to leave all your friends and the place you call
home. You have to choose whether you want to take that leap and say
goodbye to your old life. Or just stay here in Iowa. Either way you
are changing the your corse dramatically.
Overall, decisions can be hard but you
just have to go with your gut feeling. Don't be afraid to tell people
no and don't even be afraid to scream yes! Try not to make your
decision based on friends or boyfriends/girlfriends. Its your life
not theirs. If they are true friends they will support you with any
decision you make. So next time you find yourself choosing which path
to take just simply follow your heart.
