Decisions

Choices

The cross-roads to the future

 

 

Decisions are something that are in our lives everyday; this has no exception to me. In the coming year, I have many decisions to make; most will impact my life in more ways than one. When you participate in activities—and have other things happening in your life—you may have to know when it’s time to walk away from something you love to do.

Sports are something in my life that is important and has more meaning than mostly anything. The only things I ever do in my life is either go to school, do homework and play sports; so feeling that there may need to be a change in those things can make me nervous. Baseball is something I’ve played since I was four years old, and I actually think I’m pretty good at it. Last year I think I got hits on about half the times I was up to bat, but as I go into high school next year I feel it may be too much of a challenge to continue playing. Even this year at Fenn, I’m heavily contemplating doing track & field or playing tennis. The decision has been looming in my head for the past few years, and I’ve been avoiding it like the plague because I like baseball, but there’s just something in my gut that makes me want to give it up soon.

When eventually I have to make this choice I think it will be one with no perfect outcome yet one of satisfaction and relief; furthermore, it’s something that I think will be good to get over with, but whenever something happens where I have to make a decision that will change my day-day life it scares me so I try to avoid it as much as I can.
