Do you trust yourself to make decisions that are in your best interest?
ReplyDeleteWhen I am making decisions for myself I trust what decisions I make. Because I know that if I make the wrong decision I will regret it along the road and my parents will be upset with me.
Tell a story about a decision you made that was the wrong decision because you didn't see things clearly.
The worst decision I ever made is when I went toilet papering a house with my friends. I totally regret it because even though we got away with it I knew it was wrong in my heart but somehow I just couldn’t figure out why I made the decision to do it. I thought I did toilet papering is because my friend said it was fun and that he never got in trouble with it so I thought that I would try it and I did.

My cousin who was a junior and they dropped out of school a little while ago. And I thought that it was a bad decision because she didn’t really realize how important school is and how graduation is important to get a good job.
I believe that I can make the decision to help me in the further with my every day like. And l learns enough from other people to make the right decision. I made a decision that was bad when I try to jump over three skateboards with a pogo stick and landed on the third skateboards and I fell back and landed on my back. My cousin dad friend decision to jump on a train and take a ride. His decision was the last one he ever made because he got cart under the train wheel and died. My aunt husband friend was riding form the back of a truck and fell and hit his head, and now he is a vegetable.
ReplyDeleteWhen I make decisions, I do trust myself because I’m old enough to handle my own responsibilities, and choices I make. Everyone does make bad decisions time to time because they don’t see things right. A bad decision doesn’t always mean that you will regret it later, you will eventually learn from your mistakes and it will also benefit you just like a good decision.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was younger I made a decision to not try in school because you don’t benefit from it. I later found out that the decision I made was wrong and there are tons of benefits of trying. I went about 3-4 years of not trying and getting bad grades. I was thinking Xbox is more important, so I’d stay up all night playing games and not do my homework. I started to learn from my mistake in the summer of sophomore year. I had to take summer school just to get my credits to graduate on time, and spending your summer taking classes isn’t a great way to spend your summer.
My brother and sister were also thinking the same thing as I was a few years ago. They didn’t go to school, do homework, wanted to drop out. They thought that they didn’t need to go to school to survive on their own. They both got sent to an alternative school to help them pass high school. They still didn’t go even though it was easier than normal high school. The police had to come pick them up in the morning to make sure they go to school. Unfortunately they thought that through the whole time they were in high school, and I thought that way until I went to summer school.
