My Choices

Choices define who you are

      We all make choices some are for the best others are for the worst. In third grade I had to make a choice that would decide my future. This choice was between a club soccer team or The Fenn School in Concord. Both of these choices would lead me to more opportunities in my life. Choosing Fenn would mean a better education, but I would also have to leave all my friends in Winchester and leave everything that was familiar behind; on the other hand if I chose the soccer team I would be closer with my Winchester friends and I would get better at soccer. It was about mid summer when I first got the news that I got on the Rush club soccer team. Then I got the news that I was accepted into the Fenn school. At first I wanted to go with my gut and join the soccer team. But my mom sat me down and told me how amazing it was that both of these opportunities had presented themselves to me and she said it’s up to you but she also told me about how amazing it was that I had gotten accepted to the Fenn class of 2020. Once I realized the advantages of going to Fenn I came to my senses and thought that this was an opportunity that I couldn’t turn it down. So as sad and scary it would be to go to a totally new and different community I knew that I had to go to Fenn. Sometimes I think about what would have happened if I had chosen the soccer team, My life would completely different, I would still play soccer and I would be at a different school entirely. It’s crazy that seemingly small decision would decided my future. Choices decide your life; choices decide how you live; choices are what make you, you.
