It is undeniable that life is full of choices, some of which can have significant consequences in our future while some of which might not. Today, I would like to talk about one such important choice that I had to make in my life

When you had to make this choice:

It was about five years ago when I had just graduated from college. I was trying to figure out my career path and had to make a decision that would impact my future

What you had to choose between

The choice was between continuing my studies and pursuing a master’s degree or finding a job and starting my professional career

Whether you made a good choice:

I decided to pursue a master’s degree in my field of study as I believed it would help me gain more knowledge and make me more employable. Looking back, I am happy that I made that choice as it has opened up many opportunities for me

And explain how you felt when you were making this choice:

I remember feeling very anxious and confused when making this choice. On the one hand, I wanted to start earning and be independent, but on the other hand, I knew that continuing my studies would help me achieve my long-term goals. I spent a lot of time weighing the pros and cons of each option, and it was a tough decision to make. However, I am glad that I made the choice that I did, as it has helped me in my personal and professional life

Sample answer 2

Whether we like it or not, we all have to make some important decisions and choices at some points in our lives because they allow us the opportunities not only to grow as a “person” but also to adapt and adjust our “life strategies” with the demand of time. Today, I would like to talk about one such important choice I had to make about five years ago or so

It was the year 2018 when I had to make this decision, and I was around 23 years old back then.

The decision was about whether to quit my job or not, and then go back to university again in order to obtain an advanced degree, such as an MBA, in “International Business”.

And, the reason, for which I wanted to obtain an advanced degree, was that I wanted to build my career as a university teacher instead of pursuing a career in the corporate world. I had to choose between my job and pursuing an advanced degree

I think that I made the right decision. But, it was not a very easy decision to make for me at that time as I didn’t only have enough funds to pay for my educational expenses, but also I wasn’t confident enough about good academic performance, after a significant time of study break.

Not knowing for sure what to do, I sought some important advice from one of my high school teachers, who was very much like a “mentor” to me, and he told me that I should have gone back to university again. So, I went back to the university again, and in hindsight 20/20, it was one of the best decisions I have ever made so far

It was indeed a very important choice to make because it allowed me to find out my true potential, both on the intellectual level and professional level, in the subsequent years. In fact, I did get an invitation to work as a teacher at a local university after finishing my advanced degree. Besides, this particular decision made me more confident about my life and future than ever before which was more of an important “gift” for me in itself than prospective career opportunities
