Vital Choices That Shaped My Life
Everyone has to make distinctive critical decisions to make in their lives. Those choices will dependably influence one's life, fate, and destiny. After choices are made, nobody can ever change the outcome, or accuse others if something turns out badly. I believe that only things that separate a millionaire, a homeless man, and a convict is choices. By that I mean that choices and decisions can mold and shape you and your life. I have likewise made on some vital choices throughout my life that made me what I am today.
Everybody has either experienced an event or made an important decision that will affect their life positively. One critical decision that I made that has, and will impact me for the rest of my life came in early 2016, when I was fifteen years old. Often as most young teenagers, I didn’t know what I was going to do with life, in fact, I was lost in all aspects. I had no drive, and no motor. I was not living a life full of despair and sadness, I just needed to find myself, and purpose. This was a turning point in my life, I knew for the upcoming school year I was transferring from McEachern High School to Mays High School. That whole summer I decided to hone in and focus on where I was and where I wanted to be, and who I wanted to become with my life.
I was determined that transferring high schools would bring a fresh positive start to my life. I knew I had to surrender my life of mediocrity. The manner in which I was living isn't what you would depict as a good state. I was simply making a halfhearted effort towards my future, and it was unhealthy. I was living my life through others meaning I was living for the satisfaction of everyone else. It was necessary that I abandoned some of the deleterious friendships, and relationships of the past, so I began to isolate myself and distance myself. A great sum of individuals would think that isolating myself would be unhealthy for me, but it wasn’t. Most of the friendships I was in were undesirable. Most people can’t do such a thing. I didn’t travel the well-worn path because it is not for me. Through the journey of finding myself, I had to commit and acknowledge myself towards my faith. I chose not to try things, but to exceed in them, put one hundred, and ten percent into it, and go all the way. I knew I was going to lose more friends and relationships, because they don’t understand why I don’t dogma. I found something worth striving for which was my purpose.
Just after I began to truly find myself, the new school year begun. Ever since, I have made the decision to go forth and achieve what I want to be. My successes began to reveal itself to the world. I went from 2. 9 GPA (UW) to a 3. 6 (just for that semester). I went from the Freshman Basketball team at McEachern High School to the Varsity Basketball team at Mays High School. I made the Varsity Basketball team and I started as a sophomore for the first half of the season. I also, ran Cross Country. I maintained those grades up until now. I am now a member of Varsity Football, Track & Field, and Basketball. I am now a member of the CAC club, Honors Math Club and qualified to join BETA Club & National Honors Society. I also now, own my business where I sell own merchandise. My successes so far in my short span can all attribute from the decision I made to find myself that spring, and summer of 2016.
As you can see, my decision has had a positive impact on my life. I really found myself, and became a better person with a purpose. I traded hanging out for self-knowledge seeking, meaning-less work for my passion, and living for others for living my life. I found myself as I became relentless, dreamer, and achiever. My decisions I made will impact me for the rest of my life, and they’ll be stronger because of them.
