I kept thinking to myself, was I doing the right or wrong or was it worth it. As I felt my hands shake with a force I had no control over. I took courage and grabbed the lightweight black and silver car keys off the dining room large table with sticky coffee stains from breakfast earlier. The house was very silent and peaceful, as if the whole humanity had vanished from the face of the earth. I was bored to death, and suddenly my friend texts me, saying “Hey man, Lets hang out in your brothers car?” since I’m so arrogant, I cared less about whoever taught I was doing the wrong or dangerous, without over thinking it, I took a step forward into the worst decision I could had made in my entire life, yet. Once I stepped inside the 2004 Mazda model …show more content…
After all I had learned from all those lessons my uncle had taught me, and my drivers permit endless hours I had took back in my home country. Until everything changed course. I checked confidently, the rear mirror on the right of the old fashion car, and as matter of seconds I turn back to the road I see a shadow of what appears to be a “bad luck” Black cat on the still wet grass from all the rain last night. Suddenly, I see a fast speeding car towards my way. Desperately I move the steering wheel to the left to avoid collapsing into the modern 2015 Kia car, but as I turn the steering wheel everything turned in slow motion, even I couldn’t do anything else, but to hope the best. As the slow motion slowly turned into blurry speed, I was desperately trying to do anything I could to stop it but the steering wheel turned brusque, so much that I had no control over it at all. Almost as if it had, out of nowhere, grown its own soul and had control over its own future. At the end of the muddy road there was the lifesaving oak tree that was brave enough to embrace the large heavy vehicle which I was riding on. That stopped me from doing more damage to myself, the vehicle and a couple of houses …show more content…
At that very moment, walked out the old, smoky metal box with wheels, I felt the earth suddenly stop orbiting around, as I saw how the front of the car tarred apart. This decision has turned my life around ever since. Decision making is very important for me since then, thinking twice seems right when, the decisions i make, seem wrong. As Greig Groechel once said, “The decisions you make today, will determine the stories that you tell tomorrow.” Explaining how what you choose to do now, will determine what you have become or what you will be telling in the future. Everyone has made a decision in their lifetime, at least one, and that’s a good thing. What you need to make sure is that you are aware that the decisions you make will determine who you are, what you become and the kind of people you relation yourself in whether the decision is simple, it will still determine your
Life is filled with decisions. Minor decisions about small every day choices like deciding to buy a coffee or to go to the mall. These are all choices that will not have a crucial effect on someone’s life. Major decisions like selecting a college or choosing to move on after a traumatizing experience are not favored by many, but must be made in order to Come of Age. In the classic novel The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, the realistic fiction book Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher, and the young adult piece Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson the authors introduce hardships to the characters that require them to make crucial decisions and Come of Age.

The summer rainstorms, over the past four days, have transformed the roadways, of Wrongberight a rural hamlet on the eastern shores of Virginia, into a never-ending slip and slide. It was late Saturday afternoon, when vivacious Clemmy Sue Jarvis, a petite woman of sixty three, cautiously pulled out of her driveway, and slowly turned south on to Flat Bottom Road. She maneuvered the rain soaked road with great care. Nevertheless, fifty yards from her dearest friend Estelle Louise’s long dirt driveway, her rusty Chevy pickup, kept mobile with hairpins, bubble gum, and duct tape, skidded across a massive oil slick. As a result, the pickup spins in loose circles as it continued down the middle of the narrow country road, before it finally
From the moment we wake up in the morning till we go back to sleep, decision-making is an indispensable part of our life. Some choices may seem insignificant, like what to wear or what to eat for breakfast, while others may have significant impacts on our lives and even others, like choosing a life partner, a place to live, or the way we interact with others. Although choices can be empowering, allowing us to take control of our lives and shape our future, however, if the wrong choice was made, it could have negative consequences. Sometimes people would choose to obey others and avoid making choices themselves when they are scared and cowardly. However, the decision of not making a choice is a choice itself, indeed, it could even be the worst
When one has the power to choose, then one has the power to change. A determination can change many things like someone’s perspective, action, or future. When forming a selection, think carefully, as that one option could affect the rest of your life and people around
It felt like I was just driving in circles the entire time, but I knew I wasn’t. I passed by nothing. I was in the middle of nowhere. I passed the house about 3 times. It was like a pattern, the house, fallen tree, creepy broken fence, abandoned house with another broken fence and a creepy scarecrow, a tree that fell down and out of the ground, and then the house again, and the pattern kept on repeating.
Sometimes in life we have to make choices, no matter how difficult.
Since I was young, I have been passionate about lending a hand, to a person I felt needed support and this passion helped shape what my future may hold. An event happened that has been instrumental in developing my character and guiding my choices ever since. It was a late summer night and it was almost midnight when my soccer game ended, After the game, I ran into the washroom because I was dying to ease myself. I took an excessive time and missed my ride home; they must have thought I had another ride home. My situation made me become bewildered at what to do next then, I thought to myself on giving my mother a call.
This reflects the reality of decision-making in real life, where there are rarely simple answers, and the importance of knowing how to navigate difficult decisions in our own lives because, like Tim, we do not want to regret or be ashamed of our
In the world that we live in today, there are many things that we face daily. Whether it be illness, love or just bad decisions, everybody encounters them and many more. Rash decisions are made on a very common basis among people. A lot of stuff affect the decisions you make. May it be, being too young and not having enough experience to make good decisions, or just the lack of care of the outcome.
“Don 't make a permanent decision for your temporary emotion”. This quote speaks volumes when analyzing one’s daily activities and how decision making is an influential piece to those activities. Human beings are obligated to make decisions every day--some that are made impulsively--but they do not at all reflect one’s actual character. Many people often often predetermine one’s character/morality based off of an incautious decision, but remain oblivious to the reasoning behind the choice that was made. Although one’s choices can be either detrimental or benign to their lives, they have no correlation with their true disposition.
He drove fast; all the windows down, blasting music - the epitome of a teenage boy who had only had their license for a year. The commute home was all to familiar; each road blending into one long stretch of stoplights and taillights. We found ourselves at the final stoplight before the bridge, and I saw a man pacing up and down the concrete island with his hand cupped and eyes down. Noah immediately reached into the console, took out all of his spare change and stuck his hand out the window. Cars behind us began to honk as the light turned green, but Noah was patient and waited until the man came over and took the change before speeding off.
So making a bad decision is never fun. I’d like to think that most of us prefer not to make them but can’t help to sometimes because we think a bad decision isn’t that bad. It might even be a good one in the right mind set. The point of this paper being to reflect on a pass choice looking at it with the elements of critical thinking. My bad decision is one I think most are guilty of, waiting until the last minute on something important.
My First Car The first I ever had was an old model of the brand Toyota. It was color blue and was second-hand so I got it at a cheaper price. For a second-hand car, it was in a really good condition.
I have always been paranoid. I sleep with three lamps on since I’m deathly afraid of the dark, and have pepper spray with me every day that I walk home from school. I can almost never stay home alone, because of my fear of kidnappers and robbers breaking in. Scary movies are not my thing at all and on halloween I prefer to stay home and pass out candy. My biggest fear of all though, are the popular girls at school.
