One difficult decision I made was about moving out of my old house. I was very upset when my mom announced that we would be moving out of my old house, where I used to live in a big family of four. I didn't want to move out that much since my old house was where I was born and raised. It contained lots of memories of me, my siblings, cousins, and other relatives, where we shared our laughter, happiness, and also sadness. It was kind of sad to think about it. However, moving also meant transferring schools, which meant I wouldn't be able to meet my close friends and teachers anymore, so it was a hard decision to make. At first, I didn't want to move out, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized how my mom would gain advantages from moving. So, I followed her, and it was also the best for personal growth. As I moved to my new house, I needed to learn how to cook on my own, become more independent, and do more housework since I would be living only with my parents and siblings. Therefore, I needed to take care of the house more and be more independent. Transferring schools would also make me a more sociable person.
