Well, looking back to couple of months, I made not a huge but an important decision that improved my personal growth. I thought that this decision a lot and carefully weighed the options. I started going to math in English while I have been participating in a karate sport. However, it’s clear that math is already hard and a main subject to our life that can gain valuable experience for our life. On the other hand English lesson was really important to me to gain my aims and shape my future. The teachers taught me very well that they were always polite and they make me feel more confident about myself. However, sport it’s a really life-changing skills that not everybody can follow them and love them. And as I mentioned before, I have been participating in karate sport for more than five years. It was really mean to myself. Clearly, I had lots of achievements when it comes to sport and my friends and family members was always proud of me. And I thought that I’m going to shave my future by sport, skills, not by education. However, thinking clearly and positively, I understood that nowadays education plays a huge role in our life. So from that, I kind of feel like I should develop my English and math skills instead of going to sport, but it really stepped outside my comfort zone as I was a sport girl. And finally, in the end, I chose my math and English subjects for my future and for the career and I’m sure that it’s a well informed choice that I made. Moreover, it’s affected my life that people can live without their favorite things and I knew that it would be calculated risk but for now I’m really thankful and really happy that I made this decision. It’s a really life-changing decision. I’m really proud that I pursued my ambitions against of my hobby.
