Well, people have to make decisions in their life from time to time. Some decisions are so simple like what to wear, where to go, what to eat etc. But some decisions are so little like choosing a life partner or a career. I have made many decisions in my life. But here I would like to talk about a decision which was very difficult for me. It was choosing a stream for further studies. I was very confused that what subject I should choose. I have made these decisions when I, after passing my 10th grade, most of my friends suggested me that you should choose to non-medical. They were going on non-medical streams but I knew that I was not good at physics. So I discussed it with my parents but they told me that you should have to make decisions by your own. Then I went to my teacher and Mrs. Monita was my favorite teacher and also my neighbor. Then I told her or the situation. She suggested me that you should choose art stream for further studies. Then I trust my teacher advice but still my friends were forcing me to choose non-medical. But I took my teacher advice and chose arts. It was very difficult for me because my own future depends on it. I felt very good. I felt over the moon to make this decision. So this was the decision. This was very difficult for me.

Well, people have to make decisions in their lives from time to time. Some decisions are simple, like what to wear, where to go, or what to eat. But some decisions are much more significant, like choosing a life partner or a career. I have made many decisions in my life, but here I would like to talk about a decision that was very difficult for me. It was choosing a stream for further studies. I was very confused about what subject I should choose. I made this decision after passing my 10th grade. Most of my friends suggested that I should choose non-medical. They were going into non-medical streams, but I knew that I was not good at physics. So, I discussed it with my parents, but they told me that I should make the decision on my own. Then I went to my teacher, Mrs. Monita, who was my favorite teacher and also my neighbor. I told her about the situation. She suggested that I should choose the arts stream for further studies. I trusted my teacher's advice, but still, my friends were urging me to choose non-medical. However, I took my teacher's advice and chose arts. It was very difficult for me because my future depended on it. I felt very good. I felt over the moon to make this decision. So, this was the decision. It was very difficult for me.
