Everybody makes decisions in daily life. Some of them are as simple as what you will eat for breakfast while others can be as1as what you will do in the future. And the decision you make can2be a turning point of your life.
I made an important decision when I was in Junior 3.
Before I made that decision, I was just one of the boys who tried hard to act as a(an)3. I didn't listen to my parents or teachers, thinking it a way to4my independence. But soon my grades were getting5.Then came the high school entrance exam.
At the turning point of my life, my mom wanted to have a talk with me. Actually, I wanted to6her request but when I looked at her eyes, 1 felt I couldn't refuse. Instead of asking me to study hard, to my7, Mom just asked what I wanted to do in the future.8thinking too much, I just said I would study hard.
Mom smiled and asked again: "I asked: what do you WANT to do?"
I never9thought about the question. So, I kept silent.
"10 you want to go on studying or start something different," she went on, "it is your own decision. Remember, it is11who decide your life, not anyone else." Tears welled in her eyes with these words.
For the12time in my life I was asked to make a big decision by myself. I was left alone and thought about my future.
It took me what seemed to be ages to make the biggest decision so far in my life一I wanted to be a man who makes a difference in the world. To13that, I needed to study hard.
The14to my future became clear to me. I didn't act rebelliously(叛逆地) any more. With passion (激情) in my heart, I studied hard.
Now, I'm 17 and I'm in one of the best schools in my city, in one of the best classes of the school and I am one of the15students in the class.
