Challenges of Taking Hard Decision: Personal Statement

Graham Brown had taught us that 'Life is about choices, some we regret, some were proud of, some will haunt us forever'. We all make decisions everyday wether it is big or small. There are situations in life where we have to make choices wisely because it can have a big impact on us in the future. Sometimes, the smallest decisions are the most difficult ones and are unexpected. Whenever I make a decision, I'm always not sure of it because I'm thinking that what I have chosen might not be the right one and may have a big impact on my life and soon will turn into a big regret.

To be honest, I really don't know what the hardest decision I have made because I'm too young to encounter such a situation in life. I think the hardest ever I have encountered is my laziness. I have learned this from Filipino online class the thing 'Tao laban sa sarili' or in english is me against myself. I do agree that the hardest opponent to fight is ourselves because for example when we're lying, we're just fooling ourselves and it doesn't really makes sense at all. Every day every morning whenever I hear the loud sound of my alarm especially when I have morning class, I always feel so lazy to stand up. I don't know if I'll choose to stand up and do the preparations I'm doing before school or just continue to sleep and think that at least I have rested. I know myself that I really need to wake up because I still have classes and if I do not attend, it is also me who will struggle to keep up and understand the lessons. Of course I always choose to do the right thing and will keep on fighting the laziness I have inside myself because I already know what the conflict's going to be if I choose to be lazy. Another thing is that whenever I have activities to answer, I just don't feel like doing anything and want to only lay in my bed for the whole day but I'm still worried that I might be get piled up by school activities. This just happened this week, we had really lots of activities this week and this got me worried that I may not finish it on time or answer it correctly. Obviously the choice that I should make is to answer my activities so that I can finish it on time and so I did. From thirty activities I only have six right now and I was really satisfied with the decision I've made just like Robert Frost in 'The road not taken' but the only difference is that I have chosen the road which most students choose and there's no regret in that. I just felt so happy that I have at least fought my laziness and still fighting because I know that soon it will be my regret if I choose to continue being lazy.

In conclusion, I have learned something from this situation, I realized that all of us already know what those right and wrong things are we just continue to ignore that fact and even if we're wrong, we just continue believing that what we are doing is the right thing to do. Sometimes our decisions aren't the best because we are only humans. We can always choose the right thing for us and make an even better future for ourselves. When the time has come for us to make such a hard decision, just remember to do what's the best for you and for everyone.
