My Tough Choices In College

One educational opportunity that I never would have thought would even have been an opportunity was my decision to go to community college. While I used to feel as though I had to prove myself by going to a 4-year university right away, at College of the Canyons, I have actually learned more about myself and my academic ethics. I used to feel that community college was a barrier, separating me from my university dreams. However, without my community college journey, my academic passions and endeavors might not have been the same. I have used this time to learn how to be more assertive as well as more willing to problem solve and think out of the box. Since my goals were not handed to me on a silver platter, the community college process has

Decisions are what direct a average person's life. Some decisions are easy some are hard. But that’s the way of life and how it works.

Sometimes the hardest decisions are the most important, and are the ones that shape and sculpt your journey through life. Whenever I am faced with a dilemma, like whether to start a new episode of The Office on Netflix or to proofread my global history essay, I remember to take a step back to better analyze the situation which, at times can change my perspective.

The difficult decision I have ever made was either administrating into Moreau or either continuing with my local high. With that heartbreaking dissection, I have made a choice, that I would administrate for Moreau. Also, because my uncle always desired the best for me. I have also acquired that trying your best and applying your best, can draw you into more situations than ever before. Precisely like me when I was required to proceed to Washington, but then I made a decision that I should attend into Moreau.

Growing up, my family often let us form our own opinions and perceptions. There is one specific event that occurred in my life that has led me to being more decisive without others opinions. That event was when I got my knee stuck in the teeth of an escalator. In short, my shoe got stuck in between two steps and when I went to run my knee cap dived into the teeth of the escalator. The pain was so intense that I couldn't move so my sister had to physically pull my knee out of the sharp blade. I ended up getting stitches on the Bauer Family's kitchen table. During the numbing process I was offered pizza or Jackie Bauer's Nintendo DS. At this moment I felt as though I had no decisions to make regarding my injury. Although my options with only one of them I took both the slice of pizza and Nintendo. Believe it or not this event is reason I don't have much influence of my decisions today. Choosing to eat pizza while in pain was not the best idea for I quickly regurgitated it, however, being able to choose between these two items helped develop the decision making I do today. In these moments of excruciating pain on the chilling kitchen table I was able to make a decision for myself, forgetting about my fleshy wound and instead focusing on the delicious pizza and Nintendo. As a result of this accident, I made the decision to attend Mercy High School. My decision on attending Mercy has nothing to do with the fact that I am a legacy. My mother and my sister both attended Mercy but I knew I needed decide if Mercy was the best place for me. After research and multiple shadowing days I decided that Mercy was indeed the right school for me. The school provides great resources for students to act on and I saw this as a great opportunity for my future. Making decisions without the oversight and perspective of other individuals has certainly proven that I am a

Decisions are part of anyone’s life. We are driven by the choices we make—even when we think we are not making a choice, we have already decided to make ourselves believe that we are not making one. Although decisions are an inevitable part of our lives, most times, we are solely responsible for our own decisions and their consequences. Decisions reflect every aspect of our lives: thoughts, values, what is and what is not important, who we are, and who we want to be. In Richard Rodriguez’s essay, “The Achievement of Desire,” part of his autobiography, Hunger of Memory and published in Ways Of Reading: An Anthology for Writers, the author expresses the complexity of decision making by describing how early life choices shaped and directed him

Many times in life we have a decision to make. Most of the time it's between what we want to do and what we ought to do. The decision can often be very tough to make. The decision you make can be either positive or negative.

Many times, time and perseverance is the key to the best result possible. But like Gary Collins said “We can try to avoid making choices by doing nothing, but even that is a decision. Therefore, decision making is in us relentlessly whether we want it or not.

There’s always a point in our lives where we are faced with a decision to make. Sometimes we make the right one, sometimes we make the wrong. Either way, these difficult decisions have some kind of impact on us; some good, some bad. In this cluster, authors recall tough decisions they’ve had to make; sometimes it’s the right, and sometimes the wrong. These essays talk about the impact these decisions have had on them for the rest of their life, and what it changed for the good.

Making the right decision under pressure is one of the most stressful things you can do. Sometimes it seems even impossible to make a choice. This essay is about mine. I believe that I made the right choice to come to United High School.

Life is not a white paper that has no black spots, but it trains us to be strength enough to face the upcoming life difficulties. Struggling with choices is one of the life difficulties because it means lose one thing in order to get the most important thing. Choosing to complete my education journey was one of the hardest choices in my life because I was have to choose either to continue my education or to enter another world which is the motherhood world.

Until recently, a pivotal choice I made is I will practice the Catholic faith; however, some of my ideologies differ from the Catholic Church. The more mature I become and more experiences I have in life, the more choices I make. The power I have from choice comes from free will, an ability to act at one's discretion. Simple yes or no define who I am. One of the best choices I made is playing field hockey for high school. I was considering soccer, but when high school started, I wanted to try something different, to try a different sport and meet new people. This decision has had such a positive impact on me because it made the transition to high school easier. One simple choice I made three years ago still has a positive impact in my life. Throughout time, some choices I make now might have a prodigious impact in my life or they might mean nothing in the future. Nonetheless, the options I have are limitless and whatever route I take will define me in the

Everyday we are all confronted with decisions- some as simple as what movie to watch, to the more complex choices regarding our education, careers, marriage, etc. We’ve all had to choose from different paths in our life - which school to go to, what to study-the list of life’s choices are endless. When we make these big decisions, we always weigh each side, even after the decision, many times in life people look back and wonder ‘what if’ they took the other road- unexplored possibilities of life. For every metaphorical road we took in life, there is a road not taken – the class we didn't take.
