I would like to talk about the time when I made critical decision. It influenced me meaningfully and memorable situation for me. And also it was influenced me in different way. So the decision I want to talk about was applying for university. The main reason for that was being educated and getting a diploma from the university, which opens me a lot of opportunities for my future career. However, those advantages were vital, not only because of my future career, but also because my self-development, which is very important for every girl in my country. Moreover, those benefits are crucial because being educated and taking a lot of tests and exams make people stressed and overwhelmed before the exam. This kind of thing influenced me very hardly and made me feel more depression during those times. But I tried to maintain the balance between my physical and mental health and then I felt the result was positive and I become a student of a higher education center. So this was a very good journey for me. And also it teaches me a lot of things such as being a patient and being more doing hard work for your study. At first I felt stressed and anxiety. However, later I felt myself more satisfied and motivated seeing the outcome. In my opinion, making a decision is very important in people’s lives. To maintain it is more important than being.
