Do the Write Thing

The Choices of Life

 

Alice

 

What would it be, a life without choices? If we had our life programmed like a robot , sometimes life would be easier. However, such a life without choices would be a life without dreams.

Thank God we have our choices, some small without much importance but others can be life changing that bring us happiness or misfortune. I choose to write about this theme because I had to make some difficult choices in my life and I always have difficulty making them. I had the choice of coming the United States or staying in the land where I was born and grew up. I decided to leave everything behind, my family and friends, so that I could have a better life financially. This way I could help my mother and my father, the people that I love, when they need money. However, when they need love or when they need a hug, I'm not there, I'm miles away. Did I make the right choice? What would my life be like if I had made a different choice? If I had stayed in my country, would I be happier? Maybe I would have won the lottery and would be with the people that I love. Or maybe I would have been unhappy, and would have seen my parents sick and not have any money for their medicine.

Still today I ask myself if I made the right choice... Do we always make the right choice?
