Hard Choices
In each book we have all read so far, (and in ones to come, as well) we have come across a character that eventually faces a tough decision in his/her life. We can relate to this particular concept because we have all been there before, in one way or another. Talk a little bit about that. Do you "take the road less traveled by?" (For those of you who have not yet read that poem, it is said to be about coming to a crossroads in your life and deciding which path you want to take.) How do you come to the big decisions in your life? Are you a thinker? A spontaneous decision-maker? A fly-by-the-seat-of-your- pants kind of person? Which method works best for you? What are some of the big decisions/choices you have had to make along this journey of your life so far? How, if at all, have those decisions contributed to making you the person you are today? If you made a bad choice, what happened? What did you learn from it? If you made a good one, what was the reward? (250/300 words/ 40pts)

Choices, I'm not really good with making choices I will be honest about that one. I personally hate make choices sometimes I feel bad, and other times I don't know if I did that right thing or not. The road less traveled by would probably be the road that I would travel just because for one I am who I am and I don't like to copy off of everyone else and what they do. Plus taking the road that is less traveled may just so happen to be the better of the two. I never liked choices but when it comes to big ones I normally need some help. I mean let me say that in a different way, I can make choices on my own , but normally I'll make up my mind in my head on what i'm going to do then I'll ask someone what they think before I do what I'm going to do. I would have to say I'm a thinker in this case because if I make a choice then i think about what would happen if I do it, and what i could do better to prevent that situation. Some of the big choices I've had to make along my life's journey would be my friends. I thought I knew who they were but I was wrong I thought I knew who I was for a while but I was wrong about that one too. The most important choice I've had to make was choicing to let go. I know that might sound dumb, but for a long time in my life I never could let go and I held everything in. Until one day I recieved a rude of awakening and i realized that I cannot change the world and hold things in and be mad at someone for the rest of my life. I realized that they are the ones missing out not me. All the decisions that I've made up until this point in time have made me who Iam today and I hope that is a good person I mean I try and all but sometimes i'll occasionally slip up once in a while. As a long for the good decisions i have made plenty of bad ones, but it just made me a stronger person and i know to be more opened and eye and hear before I speak. There are plenty of good choices that I've made but even though there were plenty of awards that were given with each reward, the most important one that i recieved was knowing who I was and what I wanted in life and to know that nothing was going to get into my way again. Like an old saying goes from Pericles " What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments , but what is woven into the lives of others."
"take the road less traveled by" which i have never read that poem so this will be the fisrt. It talks about people in general coming to a crossroads in his or her life and i think everyone can relate to that poem. if you read it or not everyone goes through life making new and big decisions. for one i could relate to this poem because i'm a person who have to make decisions everydaay in my life. i'm not that type of person who is a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants or a spontaneous decision maker. i am a thinker! The reason i'm more of a thinker because when i was younger i used to make decisions without thinking. That made it hard on me because when i made the wrong decision i was always the one who will suffer the consequences. i hated getting into trouble and hated not going out with my friends when i wanted to. Or do things i have to do when i my free time. Those deicisons does contribute to the person that i am today because if i didn't think before i act my whole personality and life will be different than it is today. i think if i didn't think before act everyday then i wouldn't be here sitting typing this blog and i wouldn't be here in New Jeresy with all my friends and famliy. even though i have made great choices in my life i rather have the reward of knowing who i am now and what i'm going to change about myself in the near future. or what i will become later on in my life.
Honestly I have had to make hard choices a lot in my life, and the method that works best for me is to be spontaneous and just go with my first instinct. I usually think about it a lot afterwards but all in all my first decision is what was best for myself and for the people around me. I have had to make big decisions with relationship issues and family issues. For example my one boyfriend and I had been together on and off since seventh grade and him and I had a lot of history. Up until about a week ago I thought we could make it work and keep it strong. I already told you bunje about what had happened and how I reacted. I ended up breaking up with him, even though I love him and always will it was still a hard decision. But like I said i'm spontaneous when it comes to decisions and the first thing that came to mind was to end it. Even though I still think I want to be with him, in the back of my mind I know what I did was right for me. I have had to make other decisions in my life that were hard but since this is the most recent I think it's easier to talk about. When I broke up with him suddenly I was a happier person and I wasn't the only one who could see that the decision contributed to me being a lot less stressed and happier. I never really seemed to make a bad decision except when I decided to smoke weed in my shed when my parents were home. That was dumb but I didn’t think or make a decision at all. I ended up getting grounded for a long time, loosing my mom's trust and being known as a pothead through out my family. My family always says their joking when they call me a pothead and a burn out but it always seems to get to me. That is one decision that I wish I could redo. I learned not to smoke weed at my house and to really not smoke it at all. Breaking up with my boyfriend was a great choice because i’m happy, single, and not stressed out over dumb little boy stuff.
The choices that I make are sometimes the best and sometimes the worst. I find myself to make better choices than I make bad choices. They are not always the best but they are better than the bad one. I let somethings fly by but if something is important than i would go right after it and make sure i wont let it go away and ruin it all. The worst choice i ever made was not playing baseball my 7th and 8th grade year. That was a big fall back because if i had played those two years than i would have bein better this year and the next year. The best choice i made was comeing back out for the team my freshman year and makeing the team. I really did miss baseball a lot those two years i didnt play and when i played freshman year i was so happy. Ive learned that i should never let something that i love go to waste espically when its something i was good at and love doing.
I think that taking the road less traveled by is for the people who put them selves out there. They know what they want. They take the road no one else takes so they can be different and stand out in the crowd. They take the other road because they want to know what’s out there for them. If people take the road less traveled than they might discover something that no one else does because everyone is too busy taking the road always traveled on. It’s easier for people to go with the flow of the crowd instead of standing out because it seems right and its more comfortable. It’s easy to follow but harder to lead. Its hard for me to make decisions on my own without asking other people for their input I’m trying to teach my self not to do that but for me its hard. I like to know that I won’t end up doing the wrong thing especially in big decision-making. I want to always try to make the best choice and the choice that’s going to end up better than the other. I am a thinker and planner for the most part. There is times when I make decisions and choices in my life that are out of nowhere and are spontaneous but usually I have to think about things. I want the negatives and positives about situation. I end up always doing what I want to do. Thinking about things drives me crazy at times but it works. My mind always leads from one thing to another. Big decisions I’ve had to make in my journey of my life so far has made me a stronger person. Moving out of my moms and into my dad’s house was a hard decision I wanted to make because things weren’t right. Being that my mom isn’t the easiest person to talk to it was VERY hard to tell her I was moving out. I went about it the wrong way. I came home from being away in long island all summer and I got my dad to pick me up and take me to his house. Than I called my mom and on the phone I told her that I was moving in with my dad. I’ve never cried so hard in my life. My mom cried too. It was the best and yet worst conversation of my life I’ve ever had to make. To some people it probably seems easy but for me it was one of the hardest choices I’ve made in my life. I left a house of living with my younger brothers and sister to just living with an older stepbrother. I went through changes in my life especially starting a high school where I knew not one single person. To where as if I stayed with my mom I would have known people there being that my best friend lives there. I always think back to that time in my life and re think everything. I get skeptical at times but I know I made the right choice on my own. I don’t think there is a right or wrong road to take because eventually a road will lead to something good whether someone realizes it or not.
Let me just start off my saying; this is going to be a long blog. I do believe that I take the road less travled by. Not in all ways, but in many. I am my own person, and plan to stay that way. I can be a spontaneous decision maker, or I could think things through for a long time. I guess it just depends on what kind of day that I am having, and what kind of mood I am in. I love to think; I love questions that make me think. (thanks Ms. Bunje!) I love to just sit outside on my deck in the middle of the night and just stare at the sky... wondering how everything came to be, and where everything is going- watching the moonlight on my pool. One of my favorite things to do is sit on the beach and watch the waves slap the shore, I love to get up early in the morning to watch the sunrise. I get lost in time just thinking. Thinking about the past, present, future. I love going out on my dads boat and just watching the water pass, wondering what is under me... over me, and beyond. When I am surfing, all I do is think. Surfing is my therapy, when something is bothering me, I just grab my board and head for the shore. I have learned to leave everything at the shoreline and just take it all out in my surfing. I come out feeling refreshed and reguvinated. I have made many big decisions in my life so far. And I believe that ALL OF THE CHOISES that I have made have contributed to the person that I am today. I will explain one major decision that I have made. For my whole life, I decided to hate my 'brother'. I will make a long story short for you... My oldest brother is 28. He has been addicted to drugs and alcohol all of my life. Heroine; I knew about it when I was 6. I can smell pot from a mile away. I was, and still am afraid of him. He has been in and out of rehabs like a mother of 9 kids goes in and out of the grocery store. I don't like talking about this, and it almost always gets me upset. So im just going to vent... He was kicked out of oakcrest, AND duberson. Left school sophmore year. Stealing from my family, grandparents, and neighbors. Hiding needles in my closet. Getting arrested Lord knows how many times. Counseling described me in my spare time. I hugged my brother for the first time about a month ago when he was doing wonderfully in a rehab down in florida. My sisters and I cried when we first saw him, he actually didn't have bloodshot eyes... or noticeable track marks on his arm. I finally began seeing that 'brother' i have never seen from him. The next day, he left rehab- and my family hasn't heard from him since. Its been over a month. I know for a fact that he is back on the streets shooting infected needles up his arm. Thats what sucks... he is constantly dragging my hopes sky high, then just slamming them down. I don't expect anyone to understand how i feel or some of the things i had to deal with while growing up... but if I could pass anything along... it is STAY CLEAR of drugs. Now; I don't allow mysef to hate anyone, or anything. Not even my brother. Dislike, sure- but NEVER hate. It was one bad decision that I have made. And I have learned that hate it easy, love takes courage. Im not sure if I LOVE my brother... but I am trying to get there. No matter where he is, or what he is doing. I believe something good comes out of everything, and that belief has never let me down. My brothers mistakes have taught me and my brothers and sisters that drugs are not the answer. I am glad to say that I have learned to deal with my pain, and I am one happy girl :) God has a plan for everything... the only thing I can do is pray EVERY SINGLE DAY that he will be okay- and beat his addiction. I have learned to let go of what hurts the most and focus on the future. There are many times that I have got sidetracked- but I will make sure to prove to my parents that I am nothing like my brother. I will actually have a future... and appreciate every second of it. Thank you Ms. Bunje for letting me get all of that out, of course I could say so much more... but thank you. its been bottled up for a while. =]
YES IN MY LIFE I HAD TO MAKE A LOT OF HARD CHOICES.I HAVE COME ACROSS A LOT OF THIGS WERE I DID NOT KNOW HOW I WOULD CHOOES BETWEEN TWO THING. AND WERE I GREW UP HARD CHOICES CAME LIKE A FLOWING STREEM.WHEN YOU SURROUNDING AREA IS NOTHING BUT GANG VILONCE AND DRUGS YOU ONLY HAVE TWO PATHS TO CHOOSE BETWEEN. THE CHOICES WERE BECOME A GANGSTER OR GET IN TO SPORTS, ALMOST EVEYTHING I TALK YOU KNOW WHAT PATH I CHOSE. ON THE PATH I CHOSE ITS HELPED ME ALOT IN MY LIFE. AND IF I KEEP MY PROGRESS UP AN STAY ON TRACK I MY BE ABLE TO GET TO A DIVSION 1 COLLAGE.
When ever I make a difficult decision I usually take the easy road I guess. I usually think about the consequences of my decisions and if I know that the outcome isn’t going to be good then I’ll take the easy way out. I don’t know how I’ve come to the big decisions in my life because I feel like I haven’t had many of them yet. But then again that’s just my opinion. I always think about my decions before I do them so that would defently make me a thinker. I don’t consider myself a spontanious decision maker because I just find myself as a more serious person when it come the the decisions I make in my life. The choices I have made in my life are just ones that I think would make me a better person. I have chosen not to do drugs and just live my life the way I want. I don’t like having people make my decisions because it just bothers me that someone would want to run YOUR life. The bad choices I have made don’t really affect me because all I can do is learn from them. Things happen for a reason and like they say “you live and you learn”. The best reward you can gain from a good choice is knowledge. Knowledge isn’t something you can lose like money and it stays with you for the rest of your life. And that’s what I want to gain from all my choices in life. Im only 16 and I haven’t had to make very big decisions yet. I just wanna live and see what happens.
Im gonna have to be honest its very hard to make choices because you dont know if the one that you pick is going to be the right one. I am very picky when it comes to making choices u really have to stop for a minute and think about it. Like is this wat u really want. It takes alot of thinking and time.
Every day you have to make choices thats wat makes us all human. But if u make the wrong one u have to live with it for the rest of ur life. Thats why it is very important to make an effort and choose the right one.
in my llife time i had to make many hard decisions but ive found that im more confritable just goion wit thatever happens happens kind of thing. not saying its the best but my philosophy is live fpr today because tommorows not promised and dont look back. co when i make big decisions i just go with watever imediatialy sounds the best wich mor often than not turns out with negative repercusions in the end. but thats life. you just have to take it in stride. it may sound hasty or illogical but in the long run i thik ide be happierv living a life without regrets than always secind guessing myself thinking what could have been. thats basicly my motto for life.
yea i have so made many dicisions that were wrong and some were right you know.Like my freshman year in school i had the choice to finish school or misss alot of days and get in trouble i chose to get in trouble and miss days.Now what happen was i didnt get no credits now i have to complete it now and is hard for me.I chose this dicision now its driving me over is hard.When i was told to get a job i thought about it so i got a job and that was a good thing because i needed it now say i never got the job because i chose not to what will i be wearing now so i made a good dicision there.when i need to make a choice i think now i think alot weather what happens if i do it what happens if i dont where i would end up .So thats all about i do is think and see what happens.I made alot of mistakes for wrong dicisions and im human that happens but sometimes you just need to think or observe of what will happen for the dicision you make.
Decisions . One thing that i am absolutely positively terrible at . It could be what to wear , what classes to take , wheather or not to go out with a boy , or what school i go to , small or big i still am horroble . i will worry and stress about it for as long as i can until i have to actually make up my mind . It seems like if i don't think about it, and act out of the moment, i tend to make the wrong decision . i have one particular mistake that i made in my head right now that i won't say , but it was my decision to do something or not , i knew it was wrong , and i know if i actually could have thought about it i wouldn't have made that mistake . Normally, i think about the decisions i have to make in depth to make sure i don't make the wrong ones , but lately {this past year} i haven't been on track . i've made so many bad decisions and i have some regrets . I'm trying to think things through now , so i don't have to start regreting everything i do . Even though i made bad choices , at least i know that i learned from it . everyone makes mistakes and bad decisions but you have to make the best of it and take something from it . if you can't do that then you'll keep making the same mistakes . one thing i learned , just lately was to stick to my morals . and i'm glad i learned that i know that i'm never going to make the same mistake. when i make good decisions , sometimes im upset at first because i really wanted to do what i chose not to but after a little bit, im glad i did what i did.

I always try to take the road less traveled Ive always rather make my own decisions and paths and if i mess up then i Kno ive learned and can grow from that mistake as a person.For me I always try to plan ahead I hate making decisions on the spot I usually think them over....they are usually final..even if i regret it i try not to turn back, but move forward.
The deciaions I have made are about a variety of things..Relationships, friendships, life in general. I choose not too look back on the bad decisions I may have made because that will only hold me back when im trying to move on. I think the decisions you make are a big part of who you are. And you are who you choose to be.
I am almost posistive everyone has made a bad choice. Everyone reacts differently some shed tears some feel angered...but I try to approach it without getting wrapped up in regrets and anger. its not worth it to me. And I learned just not to do what I did. Good decisions are always nice rewardsare positive. All and all i think life isnt something we know but something we have to learn and with that comes bad choices.
Choices choices choices we make them everyday.Some big some small.Some serious Some not as serious.yes i have came across decison in my life to make but i guess u can say i usually like to see whats right for me because i look at life this way poeple are gonna talk regardless so might as well give them something to talk about you have to do what right for yourself because someone always finds the wrong in something one way or another.Its better to take the road that you know how to get through whether its already been paved or the best route you no how to get through.life is about decision and obstacles it how u come aboout them that make who you are.
Yes I do that,sometimes before i do somthing i think long and hard and then other time i dont really think about it that much.Maybe if I thought about how i come about stuff it would make my life alot less diffcuit.Sometimes Iam a fly out oyur seat type of person because iam inpeatient sometimes and want things to happen fast.Some of the biggest decisions I made was nothing really that big yet but some that would have helped me is how i took school in the past year i was not really focused that much and if i was i would not be trying to study and do the best i can at the end of the year.It helped me today by learning what i am doing in school,andbeing the best person iam now.
I can relate to characters in the books that we read, both directly and indirectly. This is so because even if I cannot relate to a character with personal experiences, my friends have most likely gone through it. I usually take the road less traveled because I like doing things on my own and stepping out and above the average person. This makes me feel more of my self worth. In the future, at different cross roads, I hope that I use my best judgments to take the right path, however I know I will make mistakes, like I have already done in the past, but I will learn from every one of them. I don’t like to plan ahead. I like to do things as they happen and I am usually a spontaneous decision-maker. This is not always the best thing to do; however it has its good sides. I have made bad choices in my life but I have learned from them. So far in my life, I have had to make some big decisions that I think that I made pretty good choices on. I chose not to do drugs. I don’t let people influence me in anyway and a lot of people don’t even bother to ask because they know I am drug free. I chose to be a good student and stay out of trouble. Through out school, you have that choice to be recognized for following the rules, or recognized for breaking them. I have found out that the consequences for standing out for breaking the rules do not amount anywhere near the recognition you can have for being good. I think that making these decisions contribute to the person that others see me as and will continue to follow me for the rest of my life.
Making choices can be hard or easy depending on what it is. For me it basically varies on how i'm feeling that day. I feel that most of the population chooses to take the road that has been traveled more just for the obvious fact that it is basic instinct. you really don't want to look like the outsider. For me I really don't care. But, anyway I really don't think before I do stuff at least I try not to because in the end you probably won't do it. If they are big decisions that I may have made like moving to a new area or deciding on what trip I want to go on. I most definitely set aside the pros and cons of each and figure out what I want to do. Big choices that I've made so far in my life are probably what I want to write for my Occasional papers, there are so many things to talk about these days. Another choice I've had to make is probably how I want to carry myself as a person, I'm very versatile and I've pretty much played every role thus this far. All of the decisions that I've made in my life have probably made me the person I am today and in which some people may see the nastys person in the world which I could really careless. peoples opinions are peoples opinions and that is all they will be. anyway not to get too off topic decisions make a huge percentage of what a human beings life is going to be many people have made bad choices by murdering and selling drugs and now there set for life in prison so I suggest that everybody sit down and think long and hard about what they may decide on next.
The choices I have made in my life so far appear to be minor but I know in the future they will benefit me. I am the type of person has to really think about the decision at hand. I don't like to rush in to things but if I do I know I will make a good conscious decision. Most of my life decisions so far are career based. Meaning they all have been beneficial to my goal in becoming a sergeant. I know I will have plenty of time to think of decision that will affect my career therefore I feel if I make them know I will be well prepared in the future.
I personaly am not a desion person. I make my decisions by following people or once in a great while I make a decision. When it comes to big decisions I like to ask people for their advice and concederation towards that subject. Sometimes I can be a thinker it just depends on the question. The way that I make most of my decisions is the fly-by-the-of-your-pants kind of person. Because if I have to make a decision quick I will. Doesn't matter what it is, I will go by the moment. Like when I stay home alone, I think that sortta made me the person I am. It thought me to be indepent and don't always depend on someone.
Well it comes to decision making it all depends on the situation on how I make my choice. Sometimes I do something that’s very spontaneous, sometimes I take awhile and think about it, and sometimes I just do whatever. However, I think the method that it the most helpful for me is to think about what I’m going to do and than do it. That way I have time to think about all the pros and cons of the scenario before I react. In my opinion one of the most important decisions I had to make so far was the one regarding my mom and dad. Like I said on my last occasional paper one day when I was little I walked in on my dad punching my mom in her face over and over again. I had to make a spontaneous decision on what to do. Even though my decision was hard enough to make already my dad threw in the “I’m your daddy” card which made it even harder. Now don’t get my wrong I know I made the right decision in calling the cops and I wouldn’t change what I did in a second. However, I wish I would have had some more time to react which might have saved my dad’s and my relationship. Because of the decision I made my father rarely talks to me and my brother, he doesn’t pay child support, and if he does it is barely anything. Now the decision I made was a great one to the fact were it saved my moms life on the other hand it was a bad one due to the fact it killed my dad’s and my relationship. I learned that in making decisions it is best to think about what you should do before you do it however in some cases like mine you can’t always so just go with your gut feeling, “follow your heart”, do whatever you think is right and hopefully in the end everything will be just fine.
Through out my life I hAd to make a lot of choices, some witch have been good and some that were bad.But what i noticed about all my choices is that i seem to stick to the first choice that pops in my head!also decison makeing is one of the hardest things to do and the way i was raised up you have to do alot of decsion makeing, and thats why i try to make good choices to that hopefully one day i will reach my goal as being one of the greatset football players ever!
When making these hard decisions, you are really choosing your destiny path. These "decisions" are usually life changing or a change in something. When a big decision comes up, my technique is to really think it through. I feel as the best way to overcome the problem and make the best decision you need to see all the outcomes of the choices you are faced with. Some of the biggest decisions of my life have been walking away from someone, quitting things, and committing to certain things. After making these decisions, they have "shaped" who i am today. When i make a bad decision, i try my best to think it out and figure a way to make the situation better. There really is no situation, i believe, that a little preparation and thinking through cant fix. But making bad decisions are part of life, but these bad decisions have contributed to my knowledge, and have prevented future problems. On the other side, making a good decision is a great feeling. Even if there isn’t some big reward, you are left with knowing that you did the right thing.
I feel the way Jon does. When deciding on something that is life changing you need to really sit down and think it out. I tend to do that when I have problems like that. It’s really hard to come to the conclusion for me because I’m never 100% sure when I make my decision. When I’m faced with a life changing problem I try to think about it and the affects it will have on my life. The problem is I don't think how it will affect my life in the next 3 years. One example is when I used to speed skate. I started when I was young and 5 years later I was one of the best in the country. I was going into high school and decided to hang the skates up for other things that I forget what they are. 2 years later I’m unhappy and haven't really done much and I still live in the past with my skating. Now when it comes to choices I really try to think because I don't want history to repeat it’s self. If I would have stuck with speed skating I could have had a National Championship under my belt and made Team USA.
well i havent really had to make any really big life changing decisions, but usually when i do i try to hold off on what my choice will be.i tend to think things through like the consequences and how it will be postive or negative outcome.i dont like to plan things out so when i do have to make decisions it takes me awhile.with that said i have made some bad choices in life,but we all learn from our mistakes eventually.i could be like our teenagers and not care about where my life is going,to get drunk every weekend and do things that are crazy,but i guess since im not totally leaning that way than its a path that im taking.i guess the only reward for that is self satisfaction that you want to be better and to make someone proud of you.
You come to the big decisions in your life by thinking about them and embracing them with curage and hope. I am a thinker because I look toward the future and think about how the dicision will help me or hurt me and then decide from there. I am not a spontaneous decision-maker because I think befor I act. I am not a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants person eather. Thinking works best for me because by thinking I could possubly change the out come of my decision or pass that decision by. One of the decisions I have had to make was what I am going to do for my Eagle project for my Eagle scout rank in Boy Scouts. I had a lot of choises to pick from and a short amount of time. I finaly chose to paint parking lanes for the fire department where I live. This decision helped me become who I am by teaching me to help others without being told to. It shows that I am a very help ful person. I have made a bad choice when I was in therd grade. I decided to play man hunt at Atlantic County Park when it was pitch black out without a flashlight. I ended up running into a bridge in the plaground area and put a gash in my head but I was lucky because I didn't have a concusion. When I do my Eagle project I will be rewarded by getting my Eagle Scout rank, I will feel good about helping the fire department and my Eagle Scout rank will help me and be recognised by the world for the rest of my life.
Well, i havent really had a big decision to make with my life so far. The biggest decision i had made was to be frinds with this one girl. She was alway so negative about every little tiny thing about every single person. Noting positive had every came out of her mouth. Some times she was a good friend to me, we were friends for a while but then she took a different turn. This year when i was around her she always put me down. She always found some way to put me down. So i fianlly had think alot about our firendship, because ever since she had a boyfriend shes completely changed. I wouldnt blame the boyfriend because he really had to put up with the thing i had to put up with, i feel horrible that he still to this day puts up with her crap. So thought alot about it and decided to ignore her for a week and see if i liked if or not, but of course i did because someone wasnt hovering over my shoulder saying all these negative things on every move i make or the way i breathe. So i guess i would have to say that im the kind of person who thinks long and hard about the decision im about to make, i think about my future and how its going to effect me or not. I think that this diecision had made me into a better person because if i say something negative i think of her and then i think about how i dont want to be like her so i try harder to be nicer and be happier. It makes me a more satified person in the world, that was my reward. =]
I think that k i like to take the un traveled path because I'm not afraid of failure. If you are you are going to fail. I also want to be able to say l was the first to succeeded in what ever it is. For really big decisions i have to make in my life , (for example college) I like to think out my decisions so i can make the best one for me and my friends and family. For little things i am a fly-by-the-seat-of-your- pants kind of person. I like to plan stuff out so that is the method i think works best for me. A really common decision i make every day is to come to school every day, i know to make that decisions to that i can better my self. That decision has made me a smarter and wiser person. The reward for this is be able to have the finer thing in life like the cars and houses. Itte im out peace bunje
Everyone comes to big decitons in their life times.Hhopefully we make the right choices. most of the times i make tge right decisions in life. i made bad decisions before I think half of the time. I think about things before i do them but most of the time i just do it. The one bad chioce i made came back when i lived in Philly. We were playing man hunt. I had to go to the bathroom so i went to my house. I stayed their untill the time limit was up. When i went back i told them what i did and the other team caption got mad. My team caption was happy. They started argguing. Then one thing lead to another untill they started fighting. It turned into a big brawl. Once the owner of the shop came everyone ran back to the corner store. If i never stayed in my hosue the brawl would have never started.
WELL DECISIONS ARE A TOUGH SITUATION. PEOPLE MAKE DECISIONS EVERYDAY ABOUT ANYTHING THAT COMES TO THEM. SOMETIMES THEIR FRIENDS MAY WANT THEM TO DO SOMETHING THAT YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSE. I WOULD'NT HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT BECAUSE I KNOW IT'S BAD. MOST OF THE TIMES, I TELL THEM RIGHT ON THE SPOT 'NO'. OTHER TIMES I MAY REALLY THINK ABOUT TRYING SOMETHING. SO I DO THINK ABOUT MY CHOICES BEFORE I DO IT. I THINK ABOUT THE THINGS THAT ARE BAD ABOUT IT AND THE THINGS THAT ARE GOOD ABOUT IT. I THINK THERE ARE GOOD AND BAD THINGS ABOUT ALMOST EVERYTHING. I HAVE HAD TO MAKE MANY CHOICES IN MY LIFE THAT WERE TOUGH. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. FOR EXAMPLE: WHEN I WAS WITH MY FRIENDS, THEY ASKED ME TO SMOKE WITH THEM. I TOLD THEM KNOW BECAUSE I FIND THAT IN SO MANY WAYS DISGUSTING. THEY RESPECTED ME FOR MY DECISION. I APPRECIATE THAT. THESE DECISIONS MADE ME A BETTER PERSON BECAUSE I CAN HANG OUT WITH MY FRIENDS WITHOUT DOING WHAT THEY'RE DOING AND STILL BE RESPECTED AS A PERSON. SOMETIMES YOUR OWN FRIENDS MAY PRESSURE YOU TO DO SOMETHING YOU DON'T TO DO, BUT IT IS YOUR CHOICE TO MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION. EVEN THOUGH THEY MIGHT BE TOUGH, THEY WILL ALWAYS BE THERE.
Well, in my life so far, I've only really had a few hard decisions. I deal with "peer pressure" every day and in my opinion always make the smarter decision. When I was little, I got taken to a family therapist and they asked me which parent I'd rather be with. I don't remember exactly what happened, but I know I couldn't choose. In my every day school life, I'm confronted with the option of cheating.. I'll admit that I do sometimes and that's really not smart. I think that I'm pretty much an adventurous person that likes to take risks sometimes, which results in injuries oftentimes. I'm a thinker. Sometimes too much of a thinker. I really don't do well in last minute decisions, because usually i like have an anxiety attack or something. I'm not too spontaneous. I like to plan things and when those plans don't work, I try to always have a "Plan B". So far, I think I have no clue what's going on. I don't know what I will do with myself when it comes to living on my own. I'll probably call my mom a lot.. The person I am today has been formed by many life experiences, the good and the bad. When ever I make a bad, choice, of course karma takes its toll..always. I'm a big believer in karma. As far as the good decisions, I'm rewarded depending on the situation. If it's something for myself, then I feel good about myself. Sometimes good grades that I get is enough to show that I make the right decisions.
i have come through a few tough decisions in my life.i dont always make the right choices ( or paths whatever floats your boat) but i always come out strong. thats basically the good thing about myself. i can go into a situation being totally rong, and somehow find my way back to the right "path". i usually think about the decisions i make. but at times i can be spontaneos as well depending on what kind of consequese i know will come along with it. if i think about the decision befor i make it , it usually works out better for me that way. um i cant think of any REAL big decisions ive mad in life so far at the moment but im sure there are with out me even noticing. and in my opinion it doesnt matter if its a big or little decision, every one makes you who you are today. when i make bad choices , like i said earlier in my blog, i usually come out doing the right thing. and i most likely will learn from it unless im being a "de de deeee" . [: but yeah and if i make a good decision there isnt usually like a trophy waiting for me. just the good feeling of doing what is right. =]
In my life I've made lots of choices. Whether to be alone or with someone; or a chick who stays home instead of going to crazy parties. Not so long ago I had a decision in my hands that would have changed my life for better or worst. I was in a position were no teenager should've been at the age of 15. It was either go to parties get drunk and have lots of crazy memories or go to church and prays the lord giving up my insane crazy teenage life. Of coarse if you know me I chose church. I felt that if I stayed with the life I was building I was not going to have a great future. I've made horrible mistakes and very bad sins. But now that I'm in the hands of god my life turned around. It was like a 360 flip. I appologized to those who I've hurt along the way and if I haven't to anyone who is reading this I appologize! And I've also tried new and exciting things that does not involve alcohol, drugs, or sex. It involve church campaigns and sunday school. It was amazing and the best choice I've ever had. Now I stand tall and proud with no boys or drama in my life. I only stand with god!
Usually when I have these big "life changing" decisions I would take time to think. I would plan-out, or do whatever it is necessary to come out that will lead me to happiness or whatever. I usually think a lot, probably too much. Because it could be something so simple that you do that can change you for the rest of your life, and usually I think more about those little things than those big decisions, it's pretty weird. For me, I don't really have big decisions that I chose that led to anything. Mostly these little decisions that lead me up to where I am. These little decisions I make build up, good or bad. I try my best to succeed. I made some bad one's, I mean I wouldn't be here now, if I said I made all good decisions. And I learned a lot from it, and it's simple. Don't slack. I learned not to slack, or I'll get serious punishment's that could potentially harm my future, and I keep that mindset for myself from now.
I havent really come by two many big choices in my life, but if i had the somewhat pleasure i woulg go by the fly- by the seat of your pants option. i havent had many choices because my life is mostly like a pre-set story everthing planed out. My whole life my parents had me protected from big choices, which isnt a good thing beacause unfortunitly for me my parents wont be their forever. But for now in my small perfect world of happiness it would be completley ludacris for me to make horrible decisions, because it would be completley disrespectful to my parents who had to work so hard to make me who and what i am.
Well some might say that I'm more of a act before I think type of person and don't use my common sense as much as I should. Although I see it as living in the moment,living for today and not tomorrow, and never regreting the things that made me smile no matter if its right or wrong in others eyes. Maybe thats me just being just young and selfish but making mistakes is what life is about because no one is perfect and how does one grow and become a better person if you don't make mistakes so that you can learn from them. Some of my decisions in the past weren't the best but I wouldn't go back and change them either because i've seen myself as a teenager grow into a woman. As I see myself moving foward in life I also see my friends staying where there at and not learning or growing and that in a weird way makes me feel as if i'm accomplishing something in life. I'm making a step towards a better more evolved life. So even though others may see my way of living life is somewhat immature and childish I see it as a stepping stone in this jorney we call life. All my decisions have contributed to who I am today and to be honest I'm starting to love who I am and what people think of me is becoming less important with each passing day.
When it comes to makin big decisions, I usuallly try to make the better choice. If not for myself, for those around me as well. Of all of those options, i think i would ultimately say that im a combintation of all 3. I like to think. I like to think about each and every choice i make in life, especially if it could b important. But sometimes, thinkin isnt an option, so it's best to be spontanious and try to come up with something on the spot. Basically, fly-by-the-seat-of your pants goes along the same lines at rhe last descision. Currently, although i kno there must b some, i cant think of any big decisions that iv had 2 make over time in my life. But i kno that all decisions i make contribute & help 2 mold me into the person i am & the person im becoming. When u make a bad choice, u know. Because either it haunts u, or the consequences of the decision r so great that they really do effect ur life & possibly the lives of others. I mean, its always best to try 2 learn from ur mistakes & the bad choices u make in life.
there arent always rewards to makin the right decision, however, more often than not, the 'reward' can often be a metaphor for an evolution process a person goes through. a gradual maturing that results in a more experienced, fair person.
Well a decison is " a conclusion or resolution reached after consideration or a process of deciding. To answer this question i will have to break it down to whats its worth. Deciding what to wear is something small to me, and when it comes down to it, i dont really make a big deal about it cause who cares? Deciding things that will either hurt or help me in my FUTURE, than i take the time and chose the best thing for me. When it comes down to thinking about how i want to go about my day, depending on if i want to do work in school, i look on the flip side. I think about the consequences of my actions. Im not a last minute person, and i have always learned to have at least 3 back up alternatives (Mom's Best Advice). Those two things kind of contribute to me making decisions in my life. If i know what i want to do and what i need to do to get there i will make it my goal to make the right decisions to help along the way. One big decision i chose to make was STOP FIGHTING!!! It was one of the most crucial but also a very rewarding decision.Every fight i had was not based on thinking, it was based on how i felt at the time, and took action without any thoughts. Now i think about everything that will come out of me fighting, and most things are actually ones that could make someone cry. Being in all of those fights actually made me a stronger person, not physically but emotionally. I can look back to every one i beat up and think to myself what could i have done in exchange for hurting them.People used to associate a fighter with someone who was very uneducated. For most people who know me, know that i am one of the smartest people you will ever meet. My actions told people who i was before they even knew me "Quiona". Since i've been making many decisions in my life, i say i couldnt count them on my hands anymore, i would have to use a whole classroom full of people to tell how many decisions i have made. I could go on and on about my changes/decision, but i will not. I will say this though ...
"In order to decide you have to decipher!!!"
-Quiona Hawkins
which simply means if you dont understand your decisons you need to comprehend the hard facts and chose the one that bests fits you and even the people around you.
through out my life i have made alot of good decisions and bad decisions.One of my good decisions was not to do any drungs or smoke. That was i best decision. One of my bad decision was whether i should go sneak out my house and go to a party to have fun and get drunk, or just stay home and sleep. But i left and i got caught. That was a very bad decision. I ddidnt really have alot of decisions in my life. BUt sometimes i would pick the bad decision just to have fun or to hang out with my friends. But i would not make any dumb decisions.
Taking the road less traveled by is for people that want to make their own decisions in life. They want to be different from all others. To me there is nothing wrong with being like that. I personally do not take the road less traveled by though. For the most part, I think about the decisions that I am about to make. I sometimes just make random decisions too. I don’t really always sit down and think everything out. I just don’t have the time. I think that thinking is the best method for me. I think it is because I actually sit down and think off all the feedback that I can get from making different decisions. I think of the good that can come from it. I think of the bad things and sometimes the things that don’t really benefit me at all. This year, I was doing really, really bad in algebra two. My guidance counselor gave me two choices; they were either to drop out of the class, or to move down to a lower class. This was a really hard decision for me to make. I sat down with my parents, and we talked it out. I thought about it days upon days. Finally I came up with the decision to just drop the class and take it next year with the majority of the other sophomores. If I decided to drop down to college prep, I would have most likely still failed it, and I know that for a fact. I really made the right decision and next year I will be at a better stance because I already know most of the material that we covered in that class. I really don’t think that it contributed to my life in making me a better person at all. It just helped me to maintain better grades. The reward of this decision is getting better grades, because I am not spending all my time on that particular class. I get more time to deal with my other classes now. Not to mention that I have a study hall, where before I didn’t. When it comes to taking the road less traveled by, I am definitely not the person to take that road. I always like to take the safe way out. I don’t like being put in positions that I shouldn’t have to be in. Decision making is sometimes a very hard thing.
You have to make decisions everyday whether it is a big decision or a small decision.Do I take the road less traveled by? I don't really know what that is suppose to mean but I think If it came to a big decision I might take the road that is mostly traveled by because if I have to make a decision and I ask some people what I should do most likely I'm gonna go with the decision the most people said. Cause usually if more than one person is telling you it would most likely be the best decision to make. I would have to say that I'm thinker when it comes to decisions. I have to continously ask myself should I do this or should I not do this. Sometimes making decisions can be the hardest thing you can do. At this point of my life i haven't really made a huge decision on something. But I have made decisions on smaller things in life like things in school and at home.
I THINK DECISIONS ARE VERY HARD TO MAKE DEPENDING ON THE SITUATION. FOR EXAMPLE IF ITS ABOUT WHETHER YOU SHOULD DO YOUR HOMEWORK OR NOT I DONT THINK THATS THAT BIG OF A DECISION SO IT DOESNT TAKE THAT MUCH THINKING. THEN AGAIN YOU HAVE TO THINK ABOUT WHERE YOU ARE AS YOUR GRADE GOES AND HOW MANY MORE HOMEWORKS YOU DECIDE TO MISS. TO ME EVERYTHING DEPENDS BECAUSE IF ITS NOT ONE THING IS THE OTHER. WHEN IT COMES TO BIG DECISIONS LIKE WHAT YOU PLAN ON DOING AFTER HIGH SCHOOL, YOU REALLY NEED TO SIT DOWN AND THINK ABOUT THAT BECAUSE ONE WRONG CHOICE CAN HAVE YOU GOING TOWARDS THE WRONG DIRECTION. WHEN IT COMES TO BIG DECISIONS I HAVE TO SIT DOWN AND THINK THEM OVER. I HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THE GOOD AND THE BAD THAT WILL COME OUT OF THE BIG DECISION I DECIDE TO MAKE. WHEN MAKING BIG DECISIONS I HAVE TO THINK OF MYSELF BEFORE I THINK OF ANYONE ELSE BECAUSE MOST LIKELY THE DECISION I MAKE WILL AFFECT MY FUTURE. SO I AM A THINKER. I THINK BEYOND WHAT I REALLY NEED TO BE THINKING ABOUT. I HAVE NOTICED THAT IN ANY SITUATION I AM, I THINK ABOUT ALL THE BAD THINGS. AND THEN THE GOOD THINGS. i BELIEVE THAT YOU SHOULD ALWAYS HAVE IN MIND THE GOOD AND THE BAD. SO THAT YOU CAN BE PREPARED FOR WHATEVER DESTINY WILL DECIDE TO MAKE HAPPEN. AN EXAMPLE OF THIS, MIGHT BE THAT YOU ARE WAITING FOR A PHONE CALL FROM A VERY CLOSE FRIEND WHO HAS RUNAWAY AND HAS TOLD YOU HE/SHE WILL CALL YOU AS SOON AS THEY CAN, AND HAVENT YET; IF I WAS IN THAT SITUATION, I WOULD THINK THAT MAYBE HE/SHE GOT HURT, AND IS LOST SOME WHERE OR, MAYBE THEY JUST HAVENT BEEN NEAR A PHONE. I HAVENT REALLY HAD TO MAKE ANY BIG, BIG DECISIONS YET, BUT I HAVE TO CHOOSE A CAREER THAT I WANT TO TAKE UP AFTER HIGH SCHOOL, WHO I WANT TO BE/LIVE WITH, AND WHAT I PLAN ON USING MY MONEY FOR. ALSO IF I WANT TO AHVE ANY KIDS AND WHERE I WANT TOBE IN LIFE. i HAVENT HAD TO MAKE THESE DECISIONS YET, BUT, WHEN I DO I KNOW THAT THEY WILL BE HARD TO MAKE. i HAD TO MAKE ONE BIG DECISON LAST YEAR, AND ITS KIND OF PERSONAL, SO I WONT TALK ABOUT IT. ALL I WILL SAY, IS THAT TO THIS DAY, I THINK I MADE AN OKAY DECISON, BUT, IF I HAD THE CHANCE TO GO BACK AND REMAKE MY DECISON, I DONT THINK I WOULD HAVE CHOOSEN A DIFFERENT ROAD; I PROBALY WOULD HAVE MADE THE SAME CHOICE THAT I HAVE. THAT DECISON HAS CONTRIBUTED TO MAKING ME WHO I AM TODAY. I HAVE MADE A BAD CHOICE. IT WOULD TAKE DAYS TO EXPLAIN IT, BUT WITH THAT BAD CHOICE THAT I MADE I LEARNED THAT TRUST IS THE ULTIMATE KEY TO ANY RELATIONSHIP. WITHOUT TRUST THE RELATIONSHIP BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT TO DEAL WITH. I ALSO LEARNED THAT IF YOU ARE TOLD NOT TO DO SOMETHING OR GO SOMEWHERE AND IF YOU DO THERE WILL BE CONSEQUENCES THEN YOU SHOULD DO IT. I ALREADY KNEW THAT BUT, EVEN IF ITS A SAFE PLACE AND YOU ARE TOLD NO, THEN MAYBE YOU SHOULDNT. WHEN I SAY THAT IM MOSTLY TALKING ABOUT BOYFRIEND, GIRLFRIEND TYPE OF STUFF. I HAVE MADE MANY GOOD DECISIONS AND THEY HAVE COME WITH REWARDS BUT IM STILL WORKING ON GAINING TRUST AGAIN FROM MY WRONG DECISION MADE. TO ACOMPLISH THAT I HAVE TO MAKE GOOD DECISIONS. I HOPE THAT WHEN I DO, I GET THE REWARD THAT I DESERVE. DECISONS ARE HARD, AND MOST PEOPLE DONT LIKE TO MAKE THEM. WHEN MAKING A DECISON YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN THINGS OR PEOPLE AND IN THE END SOMEONE EVENTUALLY GETS LET DOWN. AND WITH THAT YOU ALWAYS WONDER WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF YOU WOULD HAVE TAKEN ANOTHER PATH.
To make any decisions in my life, it can be a big decision or something silly, it doesn't matter, I always take time thinking on my decision. Sometimes it happens to me to make a spontaneuos decision, when I don't have any time to think, which makes me nervous. The method of being a thinker to make any decisions, definetly works better for me. I had to make a lot of decisions during my life, but no one bigger than decide if i should and if i really wanted to do an exchange. It has been the hardest thing I had to go through in all my life, and I'm sure it will be for the rest of my life. It's not easy at all to be an exchange student. It's not easy to be far away for so long from those who you love, to be far away from your country and everything you were use to do before go through this kind of experience and change your life. Even know that it still so hard for me, because of course i still miss my family and friends, being an exchange student was the best decision in my life so far. It was definetly the best thing I did. I made new friends,i met wonderful people here, I did a lot of fun trips ( and the one which was the best of my life; hawaii), I have the best host family any exchange student could ever had, and I had a lot of fun! I know i'm gona miss America when I go back to Brazil. The decision of coming to an exchange definetly made me a better person. I changed a lot after the most part of this experience. I'm more calm, I know to do everything by myself now, and I learned the true value that those who I love have. I have for sure made a lot of bad choices in my life, but I can't remember any of them right now. I just know that whith every bad choice or decision you make, you can definetly learn something from it, because part of the things we know, we learned by ours mistakes.
I dont usually like making decisions,theres all different kind of decisions that i made in my life, when i make really big decisions in my life, for example, getting a car. I just got a car over the weekend and it was a big decision for me becuase i wasn't sure that i wanted the car or not and i didn't know if i made the right decision or not, but after i got it home i drove it around and tested it and i realized that it is a great car. It will get me from point A to pont B when ever and where ever i want to go. I like to think before i make my decisions because i hate when i regret things that i do and this is the one thing that I do not want to regret because im going to be driving this car.
I think that everyone makes good and bad choices in there life, i think usually if there is a big decision in my life i really take my time to think about the decision im going to make, and if the decision is the right one. I dont think i have made any bad, or even stupid decisions lately but i have made alot of good decisions like ive decided i really need to get better in school. so im going to. Im glad of the decisions i have made because they make me who i am today.
DECISION ARE VERY HARD TO MAKE ESSPECAILLY WHEN YOU ARE PUT INTO A SITITUION TO MAKE THEM. I PERSONAL TEND TO ALWAYS MAKE WRONG DECISION AND HONSTELY I THINK IF I THOUGHT BEFORE I SAID SOMETHING OR EVEN TIRED THEN I WOULDN'T BE AS BAD AS I AM NOW.WELL I MEAN IM NOT THAT BAD I JUST GET CAUGHT IN A LOT OF BAD THINGS. NOT LIKE DRUGS OR ANYTHING BUT PERSONA;Y TYHING MORE LIKE ME. ILIKE WETHER I SHOULD LIE OR MAYBE I SHOW GIVE MY INNOCENT AND TRUST TO A PERSON I MEAN SOMETIMES I JUST DO THINGS BECAUSE I THINK IT THE RIGHT THING BUT AT THE END IT WRONG. THE PERSON I AM TODAY DEFENTELIY REFELCTS ON CRETAIN DEISCIONS I MADE IN THE PAST,PRESENT AND SOON FUTURE. BUT I AM IN A WORKING PROGRESS INTO TRYING TO CHANGE MY WAYS AND MAKE BETTER CHOICES TO IMPROVE MY LIFE.!!!!!

To me, it doesn't matter how often a road has been traveled or how many people have made the same choice as me. I base my decision on what I think is right for me. When I have to make a decision in my life I would consider myself a "thinker." Though probably more exciting, I think it is irresponsible to "fly by the seat of your pants" or just decide on the spot what you want to do if it is an important decision that will affect your life. Most decisions you make affect your life in one way or another though. To make decisions spontaneously is a waste of experience. Before you decide something I think it is wise to think over your past experiences and things you have witnessed and learned and then decide what would be the best choice. In my life my best decisions were thought out. I had more fun with my spontaneous decisions but they weren't necessarily the best decisions regarding my future. I haven't had too make too too many important decisions in my life being that I'm so young; however, I know I have many to come: where to work, what college to go to, what profession to choose, classes to take. I have no idea what paths I will choose in the future but what I do know is I will think every choice over thoroughly before I make a decision. I have and will learn from my past and previous decisions.
i believe i take the safe road on most of my desions i make cause i dont like to go somewhere and not know the outcome o9f where im going and whats going to happen when i get there. i useally make good desions in my life and everything like that cause my mom taought me well and i dont like to disapoint her. so i like to follow the rules.
you're right, we all have had to make some really important decissions. some of the more serious choices i've had to make was to stay living with my dad or mom. right now i am glad of what choice i made from it. there have been others like should i tell my friend this or stay with this boy and they can all be very difficult. for the harder choices i do tend to put a lot of thought into them so i know what i'm doing but for minor or small things i can make a lot of spontanious decissions. some are for the better and the worse. either way i never regret them so i dont really consider them a bad choice. if i enjoyed it or learned from it thats not a bad thing to me. i havent had life or death situations but i do take every decission serious just incase.
I absolutely hate when I have to make big decisions in my life. It is really hard for me and I always end up asking someone for their opinion. One time I had to do this was when I had to decided whether or not I should dump the guy that I was with because he caused a whole bunch of problems for me. I comtemplated this for the longest time and still couldn't come up with an answer. I tried drawing, listening to the radio, going to the beach,and dancing. Nothing seemed to work. So one day I had went to church with my mom. She had to literally drag me there because I didn't want to go. While I was there sitting around, I began to pray because I didn't know what else to do. During my prayer I had found the answer that I was looking for, and did it. I would have to say that for the most part I am a thinker, while once in a while I'm a spontaneous decision-maker. I like to mix things up because I don't like routine. From my past experiences on having to make big decisions,it has helped make me the person I am today.When I was going through my "2 years of hell" as I like to call it, I found the best way to resolve any of my problems was to pray. It has been beneficial to me because I feel as though I am more rooted in God I guess you could say, and I'm really happy. He has kept me out of trouble and has blessed me with many of things including a really good guy that blesses him as much as I do. Whenever I'm feeling down or in a rut I call upon his name and I know that everything is going to be okay.
I dont really make "big decisions" in life because thats for later in life...I'm not to the point in my life where i have a right to make those decisions. Yes, i am a thinker, because i am a writer.Anyone who knows me know's i'm a thinker. When i do have to make decisions i can be spontaneous...for people who know me know what i mean. Yeah, i am alittle "fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants kind of person. I mix things up because it help. I'm pratical yet random. I havn't made an "big decisions" in my life...i dont need to, and when the time comes to need to, i wil be ready to.
When I have to make an important decision in life I will and usually do think about it, I do this because I want to make sure I do the right thing. And if it is a big decision then it is going to impact my like in a big way and for a long time if not for ever, so yeah I am a thinker. Its what works best for me and I can make sure I am doing the right thing. some big decisions that I have made are personal and that I am not ready to share with everyone, some of the good and some bad. yeah they have made me the person I am today, every thing I do makes me who I am now and who I am going to be. when I mad a bad decision I just learned from my mistakes and got in some trouble wit my parents , and when I have mad good the type of reward was not something that I can really show it just that my parents and family member were proud of me.

Being so young, I don’t really make to many big decisions, but when i do make them not so much big but smaller, i think about them for a while. I can do a lot of this on the spot and everything, but there’s just something’s that I have to think long and hard about. I can’t really think of many different things that i have gone through, maybe not playing baseball one year of my life. I knew it was not going to the the best decision and I did think about it for a while but i thought it would be better if i just did not play, i later regretted that. I think if i would have played that year i would not have made the B team the next 2 years, and i could be playing baseball for oak right now. I am still the same person though, and still do a lot of athletic activities.I learned probably to think more into things like the future, i guess i am just lazy which is not so good. Some decisions i make are not always great like yelling at my mom or something stupid like that which i know im going to end up regretting anyway, those are the ones i do not really think about. Basically i can be both a thinker and someone who does not really think to highly of things and regrets it in the end, it all balances out. – Brian L.

Hmm..decisions.. I make decisions everyday whether I like it or not. Some are big and some are small. Most of them don't even mean that much, like whether I should wear a blue shirt or a black shirt. Some decisions, however, can be pretty significant. If I would have turned my head a different way when I crashed my motorcycle, I could have a broken neck and be paralyzed from the neck down. I, myself, usually do things before thinking about them. I might start fires in the wrong places, or say the wrong things sometimes. I might even mess with the wrong people. I get by, though. My decision at a young age to play guitar was probably the best decision of my life. I think it will help my future, maybe a band as a side job or something. My decision to do sports, especially football, is one of my best, too. Without them, I would probably start smokin too much weed again. I'm dumb enough to begin with, I just feel more retarded. My decision to do this blog was probably the third best decision in my life. :) peace.
Ms. Bunje I'm so sorry i just got home and its pass 9:00 its actually 9:04 and I'm starting this blog now. I had to think while doing this blog, it depends on decisions making. To make big decisions I think it through first and weigh my options. I look at the outcome to both situations and I choose. But if I think the situation isn't so big then I just make a decision without even looking at the out come, and surpisingly sometimes those little decision I make without thinking hurts me in some kind of way shape or form. The method that works is the when I think about it and weigh my options. I had to make big decisions in my life example, I had to decide if I wanted to move to Atlanta with my parents, and also if I wanted to commit to certain things, and many others. The choices I made makes me seem very carful of who and what I let into my life because before I have made wrong choices that led me to bad things and people and getting hurt. I've learned alot from my bad choices and I know that today that I wont make anymore silly choices like that ever again.
Sometimes I have to deal with hard choices everyday. My parents are divorce so i have to make a decision when they get into a arguement who should i listen to. I Half to choice between the two alot its hard and i shouldnt have to do that. I make decsions a different way than other people. I think about what have to do over night then I make my mind. But the next i chaneg my decision. Of that doenst work i usually wing it. But when i wing it is usally a wwrong desicsion. But i do make good choices because i choose not to drink or smoke or do drugs. But i chose that because i know the conseqences if i chose to do drugs or anything. If i made a bad choice i would hear it for my parents.
I never really make that many big decisions in my life because I am so young. When your a kid most of the really big decisions get made by your parents. The only big decision that I can remember making is what High School I should go to. When I made this decision I did sit down and think about it. I had to choose between two schools. Oakcrest where my sister went or Holy Spirit where my brother went. Obviously I chose Oakcrest and I do not know if it was the right or wrong decision yet. Nothing bad has happened at Oakcrest, so I guess it was a good decision. When I made this decision I sat down for a whole day and just thought about which school would be more fun. Besides this decision, I haven't made any life changing decision. My next big decision will most likely be which college I go to. I have not had many hard decisions yet, but I amsure there will be.
Every person is faced with choices as they grow up. No matter what type of decision you have to make, good or bad, i believe that whatever you pick helps create the path that will lead you to where you want to be in the end. There have been many times when i was in a situation that called for me to choose the road to take. i think that when i personally make decisions i choose the road less traveled only when i am absolutely confident in my choice. If i am not sure or feel iffy about its possible consequences, than i take the road that i feel most comfortable with. Most of the time i dont rush into making a huge decision because i know that it could end up effecting me in a bad way. I ususally spend time weighing out my options and making the choice that i will benefit from the most. Of course though, no one is perfect and always makes the right decision. Although sometimes you may regret the choice you make, i beleive that it makes you a more wise and experienced person. If you make a good choice, i think that you gain from that as well. Throughout highschool i was confronted with decisions such as classes, relationships, friends, peer pressure, etc. For the most part i am astisfied with where my choices have brought me and i hope to continue to make the decisions that mean the most to me and that i will benefit from greatly.
I'm 15 years old and all I do is make decisions in my life. One of my biggest decisions was weather or not to do things that some of my friends do. I had to decide to either hustle sell drugs like most of my friends, not be like them and play basketball to go somewhere in life. I figured that, yeah I could make alot of money, and suffer the consquences of getting in trouble and going to jail. Or my other choice of staying out of trouble and playing basketball to hopefully do something with my life. As for that situation well I'm on the basketball team so I guess you know which road I went down. This decision just made me a better person by learning to recoginize the difference in my choices. When it comes to big decisions I'm without a doubt a thinker. I always have to think of the different things that might happen depending on what I choose to do.170 I'm even making a decision now in my life even though I'm not to sure how big it is I'm still making one. You see I think I really like this girl but I don't know if she feels the same. And I do not really have any idea what to do. One road is to ask her if she feels the same as I do, or the other road is to not take try to forget about her, leave the whole siuation alone, not risk getting my heart broken,and just play it safe I'm just torn between how I should go about this semi important decision.
When it comes to me and choices, I usually think about them. Just because I think about them doesn't mean I always do the right thing though. For example, I recently went to a party. Knowing their was goining to be drinking and smoking their, I still went. I don't really get down with the smoking thing like that because I have more class than to smoke. That's not me. Also, although it's technically illegal, I have gotten drunk once before. I thought it was funny to see myself acting crazy. Well, about a week before this party, I alreaady knew what types of people would be there. Me, my girls, my sister, drug dealers, drug users, drunks, hoes, along with a selct few others. I think it was because one of my bestfriends that wanted to go so bad that led me to want to go so much. Once we arrived, there wasn't really anyone else their. The boy who threw the party had his own house in the middle of the woods, so we didn't have to worry about complaining neighbors, police, or his parents coming home. There were only about ten people there in the beginning. They had so much alcohol, so my friends and I got some and proceeded to the back room and drank, and drank, and drank. Not realizing we were terribly drunk, we left the room to go dance to a song we heard. We had been in the room for so long, the entire house was crowded with people. There were couples having sex in each of his bedrooms, and even people just acting wild. I knew deep down, I didn't belong there. I got a few approaches, however, no matter how drunk I was, I knew I had a man and I would never cheat on him. Especially with these dirt-balls. He was on his way to the party. I don't know what I was thinking that night because being all drunk and crazy is not in my character. My man doesn't want me acting like that either and that wasn't really the place to be because he doesn't smoke. He's a track-star. I see myself as too young to be all drunk all the time and I'm too classy for that. I don't want to blend in with the others, I stand out. Aj was mad at me because I was so drunk. Thank God for him, because without him, I don't know how I would have gotten home. My friends were really drunk too. It was terrible. I had the worst hang over the next morning and I had to go to work. I felt so sick and I threw up. I know my decision that night was wrong. I even thought about it before hand, and I still proceeded to do it. To this day, I haven't gotten drunk. I don't like the taste anymore. It tastes like poison. eew. Maybe that will change in the future, maybe once I'm 21. Also, last night I made the wrong decision. I don't really want to say what that is, however, I need to control myself sometimes. I even think of the consequences that I may face, but sometimes I just get caught in the moment. I shouldn't do that anymore. Once I know I don't want to do something, I need to stay firm with my answer and sometimes I need to make wiser decisions before they catch up to me. I know I'm smarter than getting drunk and doing other things ( I won't say), but sometimes I lose myself in the moment.I guess this means I make spontaneous decisions, and I don't think it should be that way anymore. It's time for me to make a change, for the better.

"Take the road less traveled by" I think this qoute in its entirety explains me, mainly because no one else has ever taken my road and never will. My road is one road and one road only, there aren't any forks, intersections, or wandering paths to somehow lead to your designated ultimate goal. It's just one road, just having one road some people might think well he is really stubborn, immensely boring, or nothing comes his way that would create a fork in the road. Well none of those are true in the least; I dont have an immensely boring life nor do things not come my way and I'm not really stubborn either. Some might say im stubborn, because I never give in, but in reality I just zone people out of my sense of perceptions when they voice their opinions or veiws onto me. Alex isn't some regular high school student that is similar to others in ways, rather different in every way from the normal. Sure I may do things other students do, but only due to the fact its mandatory if I ever want to leave with my pride. If there is only three choices of what kind of thinker you're then those three are for the normal thinkers, but not me. I don't have any big decisions or choices, I do the things that are mandatory for me to do. My thinking process isn't something that can be explained with just one sentence. It's more of a constant changing being in itself, details of which I don't want to reveal but thats mandatory in this blog as well. In simplest terms my way of thinking is this; a decision on something comes up and I have to decide what to do and then my brain goes into its process. I think about what is the easiest way to do it efficiently, what would the person want me to decide on, what purpose would I need to make the decision, and lastly which decision would i like to make. A person reading this would be like well your not different, your a thinker. Well guess what all that thought process happens in a split second of thinking. For those people that need an answer to my thinking, easiest way to answer is I go by what immeadiately comes to me and the thought process behind it all in a split second, so basically I'm all three molded into one thinking arrangement. For me decisions aren't really decisions, since decisions are based on wrong and right, easy and hard, life and death. Those types of decisions aren't the decisions I make per se, the things i decide on have nothing to do with easiness, justice, or life its more about which decision would follow my way of life. The type of decisions that have to deal with three types of decisions i mentioned i never run into only because i never put myself into a position to make one. Sure people are thinking well that isn't possible to do you have to make decisions everyday, my answer to that is your not me and you don't think about things the way I do. To accurately answer the question I think it's best to ask a question to the readers. Do you need to have friends, to be around people, people to talk to, be in love, have conversations, care about other's opinions, care about other's well being, or need something to keep you busy everyday? If you answered yes to any of these questions then you won't possibly be able to comprehend the answer even if I told you. Alex is who I am and who I am is someone no one can comprehend unless they're exactly like me.
I think that I do take the road less traveled. The beaten down paths of life are just to dull and predictable for me. The roads I take however aren't that traveled at all. They are roads rarely traveled. On occasion I go out of my way to take a path, where there will be little distraction and I can be alone in peace to do as I please. I don't like to be bothered by the trivial matters of society. I just don't care about them. I don't think that I have ever made a big decision, no decision I have ever made was drastic or life changing. I know that I make decisions everyday but I wouldn’t classify any of them as big decisions, just little everyday decisions. It’s true that some are more important than others but none are truly big decisions. I would probably best fit into the category of a thinker. When the time to make a decision arises, I always reflect upon my options and how the decision will affect me. Basically, I treat my life like a game of chess, and I always am thinking about my next move. Once again, the “how did it effect who you are today” question, I knew it was coming. Who I am today is not dictated by the decisions of my past, at least I don’t think it is. I’m not totally sure how I got the way I am, I’m so different from the rest, unique in everyway, but hey, that’s a puzzle for another day.
well i past ttwo years hat point about ago when i had to make the decision whether i was going to make the same mistakes as the rest of my family.i chose that i am better then that you know you can make the same mistakes so many times until you realize that your life is revolving around a circle.i am too smart to let dumb decision ruin my ability to do something great with my life
with all of this on my mind it took for probation,some hand cuffs,and a little bit of time to make me realize how much potential i really had.i mean i always thought that school was just grades and the street was just the street but i learned over time that all of that is knowledge in my brain that i will not live down.but when it comes to making choices i always think now before i make them because you have to think about past present and future so you have all your decisions planned out.
Ms.Bunje i didnt know how to edit them so i just did it over..sorry
Choices choices choices we make them everyday.Some big some small.Some serious Some not as serious.yes i have came across decison in my life to make but i guess u can say i usually like to see whats right for me because i look at life this way poeple are gonna talk regardless so might as well give them something to talk about you have to do what right for yourself because someone always finds the wrong in something one way or another.Its better to take the road that you know how to get through whether its already been paved or the best route you no how to get through.life is about decision and obstacles it how u come aboout them that make who you are.Life is about making mistakes and learning from them you never regreat anything u do because it only makes you a wiser person.When coming to decison you shouldnt usse what other people think about it but what you really feel inside but its more easier said then done.
All and all I'd have to say when I get a to a fork in the road infront of me, unfotunately i take the easy, already walked down path, in fear of messing up and geting lost upon the road less traveled. Yes, I'm a thinker. A real big one at that, it keeps me up at night ot be honest with you . I always think my decsions thurally through before any choice is made, to prevent from regret later on in the future. In my opinion every choice I have is important to me, and anything I've ever decided wrong on, only happened to help me learn from them .
I would like to think of myself as having multiple ways of coming to a conclusion on a big decision. Some things I think long about and others I can answer right away. Pretty much the only big decision I have had to make in my life was if I wanted to live with my mother, or my father. I said my mother right away and both of them asked me if thats what I really wanted to do. Thats when I thought about it a little longer but I still said my mother. Sometimes I will just make a decision without thinking long about it, but thats normally when there is no need to. I guess I think fast sometimes. You could say my fast thinking is like you thinking long about it. When I think fast, I still but deep thought into and I don't just shout out an answer. I will probably think longer about more important things if I ever have any which im sure that I will. My choice of living with my mom hasn't changed me I think. I think that I would pretty much be the same, except that I wouldn't have the girlfriend that I have now and I would be going to school in Millville so I wouldn't have any of my friends or teachers and I wouldn't be doing this blog either. I like the blogs though. Easy points :)
Well me personally im a kinda of what ever happens happens kind of person ill do whatever i want to and extent ive made some bad choices already in my 16 years of living but none of them are affecting me now i love the way ive choosen to go ive learned alot of things to do and alot of things no to do things that can get u into trouble:] but nothing has affected me yet and hopefully and descions i make in the future dont affect me either.
Usually when I'm faced with a problem, i look at it from many different angles. Some say i think too much, but i just like to make sure that what ever happens doesn't hurt me in a sense. Either physically , mentally, or any other way i can get hurt. Mainly, i just look at the consequences before i do anything. Whenever I'm with my friends and they start to do something stupid, I'm usually there to tell them that it is a dumb idea or something like that. I usually get made fun of for it but i'm just looking out for them. But i enjoy saying "I told you so." As stated above, i usually think about what's going to happen, but occasionally i can be a spontaneous thinker. It all depends on the situation i guess. However, I just like to think things through because i hate getting into trouble. I guess there's nothing wrong with that, but that just makes me seem very cautious and boring, but that's not always the case. Like i said, It all depends on the situation for me.
“Before, I get started with this blog, thank you Mrs. Bunje for giving me a chance to do this,” Manny.
I do think there is a crossroad that determine our path, good or bad, we our the ones to blame for our lives. Every time I have to face big decision in my life, sometimes I choose the good path sometimes I choose the bad path. I haven’t found out what my destine in life is yet. I do know all my decisions will always be my guide. I guess I consider myself as a thinker when it comes to those hard challenges in my life. My method is, live life to the fullest, take risk, take a chance. I know its not the best method. Sometimes it doesn’t help me at all and sometimes it does. So far in my 16 years of living in this world, I made so many wrong chooses and came along good chooses, too. Last year, this decision change my life. I knew some boys that were a little older I’m not going to mention there names or age. Anyway, my best friend, Ellie and I were invited to cut class and go to the near by beach. We said no this time because we wanted to go cut class with our other friends, they said okay and maybe some other time. The next day, they found a car without a license plate in the near by beach with a died girl in it. I heard they ask this girl name Ana Martinez to cut class with them. The same girl in the car. These boys were someone who you didn’t want to be in there bad side. Ellie and I could believe it we, both knew who was the groups of boys matter a fact most of the school knew. That whole month Ellie and I kept thinking to ourselves that could have been us in the car. We choose not to go in the car with them because they wanted something Ellie and I couldn’t give up. This is one of the decision I and my best friend never forgot because we have cut class with them other times before, and that could have been us. We learn that we wouldn’t go skipping with them ever again and we didn’t ever speak to them again.
Thus, I made other chooses in life and it has chaange me and it has made me the person I am today. Moving to New Jersey I had a second changes to start off fresh and stop doing what I did last year.
it depends on the decision that i have to make. i think i only think things fully through when it has to do whit something i want to do not something that someone eles wants me to do. For example say if i had to type an essay and it was do on an certain date and it was forty percent of my grade and i din't want to do it. i probaly would go whit the flow and do it when i feel like it instead of doing it ahead of time. but if it was an essay that i had to do to get in an certain college that i wanted i would of did it ahead of time and asking teacher to help me improve it. one of the biggest chioice i had to make was deciding if i had time for a boyfriend. (mainly saying if i was readly for the drama) and i found out that i am not. so i decided to play them because in a way i get what i what. (please don't take what i just typed in the wrong way). i think i have made an good choice because im having fun and noe of my grades have dropped because of them.
i guess me being christian and seeing as how god is watchin my actions and he sees what i do, it takes a spin on the things i do,i try and make decisions that would be right by him,even though i take a step on the wild side and become spontaneous.choosing if i wanted to continue being a partier and doing spontaneous things or going to church and becoming a christian.this changed my whole perspective of life. i dont always do what i want to do,but more of what is right. to every bad mistake there are consequences to every action and when you make a mistake it comes back at you.god has it blessings for the good things you do and thats the only reward i would ever want to recieve.
Yes, i beleive i take the road less traveled by, For me that means if i am a follower or a leader. I dont really like to be a follower so most of the time i am the leader around like all my freinds normally i make decisions and do not follow much other people. Like if all my friends thought that smoking was cool and wanted me to do it, i would just be like get the hell away, because i dont want to do that stuff and know it is wrong. I have to really think over those big decisions in life because i want to make sure i make the right decision. I have to think about the pros and cons. To make sure if i choose the right option, i know i will like it, and that it would be worth it. First, some big decisons in life i have made are loosing one of my best friends because he started to turn into like a major pothead so yeah i didnt want to do that so we stopped being friends and that was kinda tough. Those decisons have made me a better person in life by alot. Just imagine how i would act and look if i did drugs, i couldnt think straight and that isnt cool. If i would make a bad choice i would learn from it and realize that it was pretty dumb and next time to catch myself from making a dumb decision like that again. If you make a decision there are always rewards. Like pride for example. If you make a good choice in life and it really helped you out you are going to feel good about yourslef and have alot of pride in yourslef which will give you confidence in yourslef to make better choices and get you to succed in life. =)

"Choices" That is a really big thing to me and takes a big part of my life. I have been making choices my whole life some bad and some good. I would say that i am a thinker when it comes to making big choices in my life. I try not to make bad choices because I know they would lead to bigger things than I would have to face the Consequences. I know how it feels because I made a bad choice by receiving stolen property and know I have to do 35 hours of community service at the public Library. The only good things about that is I have more time to do my homework and I learn from my mistakes. Now for making that mistake I have to waste my whole weeknd working in a Library. Its true that all it takes is one little choice to mess something up. Dont get me wrong I do make alot of good choices also in my life and how I get rewarded, with "Respect" with that being said I think that it made me a much more mature person because I can make my own choices and i dont need anybody else making them for me.
everything i do is a choice. a decision not necessarily a hard one but still a decision. sometimes i think things out before I do something. most of the time i just go with it. i have the i-do-what-i-want type of attitude sometimes so i dont really think before doing much. the times when i actually think about doing something are the times that iI keep on thinking about it. like ill think it out totally. it will turn into something ive been dying to do to not wanting to at all. which happened to me a few times so i kind of stopped thinking about things and just did what ever. most of these decisions of mine are my weekends. what i do outside of school with my friends. when i really think about it all the choices ive been making about my weekends are pretty bad. but when im in the moment im in the moment i dont care but afterwards i care. well only this time really when i made the biggest mistake yet ! because all the other times im like yeah best weekend ever. well my bad choice was to go this party. wont get into details. but it turned out for the worst by far. i drew it on the road of my life thing we did in class last week. and it led me to the police station where my mom had to get me. well my punishment was well is being grouned my cell phone is gone. its actually not that bad but i was stupid for the decisions i was making throughout the night. from the time i was in the back of the police car up until now im still thinking about everything and how things could have been different. but i cant dwell on the past. i have to accept it. and i cant really think of a really great choice ive made i mean im sure theres some but i just cant think of any right now.
i have had to make a lot of decisions in my life. there isnt a day that i dont have to make choices wheater there small or big. when it comes to making decisions i seem to make a decision without thinking ,which isnt good because most of the time its the wrong one. for example one time a few years ago me and marriah decided to sneak out of the house at 1 in the morning to go to wawa. this wasnt such a good decision since we got caught for cerfuw and had to get our paretns to pick us up from the station. i have learned from this mistake and i try to think about things before i do them. we never did that again but we have done alot of other stupid things. i just like to go with my first instint. every decision that i have made has changed my life in some way even if i havnt relized it. it makes a difference in who i am today by the choices ive made in the past. life isnt perfect everyone makes mistakes and when i do i jus think of it as a something to learn from to make my life better.
hmm. What kind of decision maker am I. This question has multiple answers for me. At times i can be the type of personm that will live in the moment and make whatever decision that i want to without thinking about the consequences. At other times i will be the type of person that will think about the choice that i am making but will only think about it in the short term. And then at times i will think about a problem in the long tem issues. A perfect example of this is when i decided that i was going to go into the military and tryu and get in to a military college. If i decide to do this i will be thinking about the long term issues because it will be my future that i will be undertaking. If i go to a military college it will be the career that i will be choosingand i will have to stick with it for life. This is also a decision that i will have to make soon also because i will have to have my military college application handed in by sometime next year. The time of decision that i would make that would be spontanious is if a friend happened to stop by my house randomly and asked me if i would like to go out and ply in a game of soccer because there team needed an extra. I wouldn't even think about this answer i would just grab my shoes and run out of my house completely forgetting about any other gear that i would need. The times that i have done this are the times that i have had some of my worst injuries such as broken bones, concussions, contusions, blood, and lots of of it. But on the spontaneous decisions that i have made i have always ended up having a lot of fun, even if that fun happened to land me in the emergency room, which alot of it has done to me. But i never cae and just cant wait til i can go out and do it again.
Ms bunje the reason i didnt do this in the first place was because i havent made any decisions that big in my life so i really didnt know what to put. Im being tres tres honest about this i would do this if i had something to put and hopefully u kno that. so now im just going to ask that you give me some kind of credit please!
I'd honestly have to say that I dont feel that I have made MAJOR decisions in my life to where its like a life or death situation, but the decisions that I HAVE made are close enough. I'm the type of person that hardly ever takes the road thats less traveled. I like to be the one that makes my own path in a situation. I'm not a big procrastinator, but I can be and I think that I like to procrastinate on my thinking about decision making. when I HAVE to be a spontaneous decision maker then I can be the type to do so. I'm like a universal remote...push my buttons and I change to fit the situation. I think that the fact that I actually sit down and think about what I'm going to do in a decision making process is easier because I get to pull all facts and info together to come up with one solution that will not only benefit me, but also the people that are invoved with the situation. I've made some BAD decisions within the past few years of my life and its from those bad decisions that make me who I am today. every person on this earth has to experience something in their lives that may set them back in life, but ya know you just gotta suck it up and get through it. life isn't all about living the way you want because if that were true, we'd probably all be stuffing our faces with mcdonalds every day of our lives and becoming enemies with each other. the bad decisions that I have had to make were some that I would rather not discuss with 100 plus students, but just kno that they impacted me enough to say that it changed who I am as a person and as a whole. the good decisions however were rewarded with like money, certificates of achievement, or just a simple thank you that still gives me the satisfaction that I have done something right. and by the way, its a great feeling! :)
i do take "the road less traveled." many times people have to make big decisions in their lives betwewen two important things. also, there is always a big difference in the path that the two will take you. for me it takes a while to come to big decisions in my life. it always takes me a very long time to think about it. i am a very deep thinker and im always thinkin about pretty much everything. i am not a spontanious decision maker when it comes to big important decisions. also i am not a fly by the seat of my pants kind of person either. the best method for me is to think for a while about big decisions and think about all the effects and consequences each choice will bring. there have been alot of big choices i have had to make like which croud of people to hang out with and stuff like that. these decisions have contributed to the person i am today by making me a better person. and if i made a bad choice i suffered the consequences and learned not to make that choice again. and u get rewarded with knowing you made the right choice when you do and it feels good to know you made the right choice.
Making choices? hmmmz some people say follow your gut instict but i am the fone that usually has the gut instinct both ways. I am not a good decision making person.and when i usually have to make a decision its just at that moment and i dont ususally think the decision all the way through. But if i took the time to understand what the decision is that i have to make then i think that it would be the right decision that i am able to choose. But because im not good with the decision making then and i really dont want to be bother with the decision i make it usually right there and then. Smoe decisions that i have to make is about whether or not i want to sit around and worry about the bad or should i just live my life. I think that this has definatly contribute to my life today because im just the laid back type of person and i try and get things done when i can. When i make bad choices i serve my consequences and grow from it and when i make the good ones they just help me feel good inside.
Well, as anyone can tell anyone else, i am not a thinker. i just do what i do as i do it when it happens. i dont plan anything out because its just not fun. i feel that if i planned everything out then that would leave me with less time to do the stuff i really like to do like sit around all day doing what ever i feel like. sometimes being spontaneous is fun and rewarding, or it gets me into trouble which actually happens a little more. though people call me stupid for doing it but i dont care, its always more fun to just do something unexpected than to just plan everything out and be boring. though i remember this one time i did something spontaneous and just started hitting on this one girl only like 4 or 5 days after my ex broke up with me and whats really great is that the girl is still my girlfriend and she makes me happier than anything else. so, i would have to say that being spontaneous can be called dumb but i feel only the people that take some risks end up with the better reward. though i dont mean to say that being spontaneous cant also be just as equally bad but i just cant think of any time that i have gotten into a load of trouble by not thinking stuff out i mean i still have all my limbs and i have only fractured 2 fingers. i am spontaneous and crazy and like to have fun and all that makes who i am because i dont hold back on what i do or what i say.
Making good choices is something im really bad at but making bad ones i seem to be really good at. Its really funny because every time i make a bad choice and im corrected my mom goes this is the choice you made and this the choice you could of made. it makes me laugh because it seems the choice that i didnt make was floatin around with the choice i made. lol. One really bad choice i made was when i started smoking. one reason why because i was only 13 and i started with cigerettes out of all the foul things i had to choose them. Now i cant stop if i tryed my hardest. lol. Yea but people actually face choices in the dumiest things they do and dont really see it. Choices are a daly part of life and in order to maitain a living struture try to make the right one. speaking of all that i need to try also because choice making is my worst subject. lol. All you need to do is look on your shoulder the good choice always seems to be on the right with a halo over top of them and the bad choice usually appears to have horns. seriously though befoe you think the negative choice think the postive then think about all the things that could happen to you if you choose the negative one.
A hard decision that i have made in my life was to love somebody who i thought loved me back but really wasn't real. I mean i thought he was the right one never lied to him and always told him the truth about everything. I thought it was the same with him until i found out about her. i mean i was hurt but i still made the choice to stay with him because he told me he was done with her. Although it may have sounded dumb to believe him i still kept talking to him. Now i really felt like the dumby because he was still talkin to her all i could really do was cry because i felt like trash even though he told me he loved me i still felt the reason to stay with him. I guess the hardest choices that i was making was letting him go becaus i never felt a way like that except when i was around him. so letting him gon was hard i mean i'm still trying right now it may sound dumbb like girl you need to let him go but what would you do if you love some one so bad it was so hard to let them go.
You come to a big decisions in your life when you realize what are you going to do when you get out of high school for example with me I am now think of what I am going to do when I get out of high school in 2 years it just gets harder and harder to me because there is so much I want to do but only can pick one and it’s hard for me I’m still trying to come to a decision this label me as a thinker. The thinker method works best for me because I have time to think of what my future holds for me. Plus thinking helped me a lot by thinking to go to Vo Tech which is going to help me get a good job for the future
And the decisions I made in the past messed me up a little in my but now all I look forward to is what the future holds for me, and the bad decisions I made, made me the person I am today cause now I know not to get in trouble anymore. The bad decision I made was not doing my work and very close to being retained in the 7th grade and if it wasn’t for my grandmother I wouldn’t be where I’m at today. So I learned from that and I’m doing better then I was. So some of the decisions I made in my life were good and some were bad.
Theres really no great decision that ive had to make so far .. i mean sure, there are those little things that i need to decide on that may seem like a crisis at the time, but in reality, they are small choices that arent life bearing. Really my life has only just started, everything ive done so far has been only a mere decision compared to what will be thrown at me in the future, as i grow older and wiser. taking the road less traveled by, hmm .. well i guess it depends on the situation, i mean if there is something that i want to do then ill do it, however if i understand that it is wrong, i will take the road less traveled by. Also, if it is something that will effect others around me, then i will definately think twice about it, considering my friends and familys being is more important than my own, becuase if i make a stupid choice for myself than its on me, but i couldnt stand it if it was on them too. so i guess i could be considered a thinker. like i said, i havent made any huge desicions in my life, but every one that i have made has made me the person today, for example i could of had a choice to do something and could of chose something different than what i did, and could end up like in a lot of trouble, therefore, my life wouldnt be the same, if that makes sense to you.
Normally when I come to a point in my life where I have to make a hard decision I just sit around and wait for it to solve it's self. If there's a decision to be made that is a big one, normally if you leave it alone you won't have to make a choice but the course of your life will either. make the decision for you, or make it clear as to what choice to choose. I kinda just float around in the winds and see where they take me. Honestly living like this gives people the impression that I make bad decisions but in reality that is all relative to what your perception is of a bad decision. I think the person I am today, the carefree individual has been formed from my I don't care attitude.
I have had many of those instances. One recently was wether or not to tell my parents about something I have done. I gained enough courage to and then I finally did. I didn't think I would like what was going to happened and I didn't. I felt like I told my mom I just killed someone. atleast it felt like that but I would rather have actually told her that. another instance was when Itold my mom i did do something bad. I had to tell her that I broke into my old school and my cosin blew up a quarter stickof dynamite. I haven't had any really good encounters with this situation.
Through out “this journey we call life” I have made good and bad decisions in life. Whenever I am faced with a decision I usually over think everything and I wish that I didn’t. The way I look at my life is no matter what decision I make good or bad I can learn from it. If I could go back and change something that I’ve done in the past I wouldn’t because every decision that I’ve made I have learned from and has influenced who I am today and I wouldn’t want to take any of those experiences away.
Not really because i really just go with the flow i don't create my own path. YOu don't go to the decision the decision comes to you and you know that it is a big decision because it is either a hard choice or you won't have an answer to it. I like to think my decisions out so then i can think of all the posible outcomes. so then if all goes well then everything will go the way i have planned and i will be happy. yes i have had to make a big decision it was to go back out with kim or not, because we both knew that things would never be the same. But we took the chance and everything is even better then it was before.
Im a big thinker believe it or not when i want to but i never think about the bad things too much but i overthink sometimes.But i always take the hard way to do things i dont know why well maybe because im so stubborn.For me to be so young i've made alot of tough decisions rather good or bad.
Now i got myself into somthin that i cant get out of im just going to have to man up and handle my handle.
The Decisions that I make are chosen by the flip of a coin. My decisions are all about chance. If it is a Big decision I will think about it and if i cannot come to a conclusion, i will take a chance. If it is a small decision that will not effect my future, i will spontaneously shout out what my heart desires. I don't relaly know what very important decisions i've made in my life. I know that that decision is coming soon and it's gonna tear me up if i choose wrong. Some of my decisions have made me get punished and learn a lesson and they are what make me me. How i make the bad decisions are what cause my life to be bumoy and i just have to deal with it and ride on through. Through good decisions, i get no reward but to give it to other people. It makes me happy to see that I have made somebody else happy.
If i were to come across a crossroads in my personlity and life coice making i would not take any of them. Id just keep walking straight into the grass ahead. Of course by saying this i would label myself as a neutral person. Just keeping it cool by holding of the decision until the end just watching my suroundings just for the hell of it, and who knows maybe something may happen within that time hints* saved by the bell.
some big decisions ive had to make in this past year are just the usual things, but somethimes i have to make a choice that sometimes benefits one person and hurts the other. Those decisoions i made turned me into the person i am and who i hang out with today. Sofar i havent made any bad choices or good choices, like i said before everythings just neutral.
