Paula Nahoum:Making Choices

Making Choices Mary Balogh said once, “Every moment is a moment of decision, and every moment turns us inexorably in the direction of the rest of our lives.” Of course, every one of us will make a decision in his life, at least once. Depending on the gravity of the situations, few decisions can be taken quickly but not all. Since I was in the senior year of high school, I had to choose a specific major to my university. This decision was extremely difficult because it is highly important and related to my future. This little decision was able to affect and change my whole life. Therefore, I had to think critically and carefully. I was puzzled between several majors that I liked the most: Medical Laboratory, Environmental Health and Chemistry. Being confused, I asked my parents, friends and teachers to help me making the right decision. However, each teacher advised me in a different way. They told me to do what I liked, because there is no “Best Major.” I really thought for many days and nights, but now I’m convinced with what I chose. Medical Laboratory was and still my choice. This is what I want to be. Last year, I learned a lesson. Making decisions is not that easy. In addition, decisions can turn our life upside down, making it better or worse. Many people make wrong decisions, but they don’t have to regret them. They have to move on in their life.
