Male Female

Okay, it's hard for me to understand and accept this situation, and I remember when I had to make a difficult choice between two good options for my life. I remember these options and this decision about my future, about my education. The first option was to stay in my hometown, in my country, and continue my bachelor's level education there, with my family. The second option was more sophisticated, but it offered more pleasure for my life. It was about continuing my education abroad, which has always been my dream. So I chose the second option, but it was hard for me to understand and accept this because I can't imagine my life without my family. It's difficult for me when I'm going somewhere without my family, or when I can't hang out with them. However, the second option has a lot of advantages for me, which is why I chose it. I believe it can help me become stronger. Additionally, I can learn more interesting things with the second option. I think also that corruption and some other factors influenced me to choose the second option. I hope I made the best choice and decision of my life.
