Essay / The Challenges of Making Difficult Decisions: Personal Statement
Graham Brown taught us that “life is about choices, some we regret, some we are proud of, some we will haunt us forever ". We all make decisions every day, whether they are big or small. There are situations in life where we need to make wise choices because it can have a big impact on us in the future. Sometimes the smallest decisions are the most difficult and unexpected. Every time I take a decision, I am always not sure about it because I think that what I chose may not be the right one and may have a great impact on my life and will soon turn into a big regret.

I think the hardest thing I've ever faced is my laziness. I learned this from Filipino online courses: “Tao laban sa sarili” or in English, it’s me against myself. I agree that the most difficult adversary to fight is ourselves, because for example, when we lie, we are wrong and it doesn't really make sense. Every day, every morning, every time I hear the loud sound of my alarm, especially when I have class in the morning, I always feel so lazy to get up. I don't know if I will choose to get up and do the preparations I do before school or just continue to sleep and think that at least I got some rest. I know myself that I really need to wake up because I still have classes and if I don't go, I will also be the one who will have difficulty following and understanding the classes. Of course, I always choose to do the right thing and I will continue to fight against the laziness I have inside me because I already know what the conflict will be if I choose to be lazy. Another thing is that whenever I have activities to do, I just don't feel like doing anything and I just want to lie in bed all day, but I'm always afraid of being busy with school activities. This just happened this week, we had really a lot of activities this week and it made me worry that I wouldn't finish it on time or answer it correctly. Obviously, the choice I would have to make is to respond to my activities so that I can complete them on time and that is what I did. Out of thirty activities, I only have six at the moment and I have been very happy with the decision I made, just like Robert Frost in "The Road Not Taken", but the only difference is that I I chose the route that most students choose and I have no regrets about it. I felt so happy that I at least fought my laziness and still fight because I know that soon it will be my regret if I choose to continue being lazy. In conclusion, I learned something from this situation, I realized that while we already know what these good and bad things are, we just continue to ignore this fact and even if we are wrong, we just continue to believe that what we are doing is the right thing to do. Sometimes our decisions aren't the best because we're only human. We can always choose the right thing for us and build an even better future for ourselves. When the time comes for us to make such a difficult decision, remember to do what is best for you and everyone..
