Describe a difficult decision that you once made
You should say
– What the decision was
– When you made the decision
– How long did it take you to make the decision
– And explain why it was a difficult decision to make
- Well, everyone has to make some tough decisions to progress in life.
- Here I would like to talk about a time when I had to choose the stream for my secondary class.
- What happened exactly, after passing the matriculation exams, I had a couple of options for my further study and I had to pick one.
- Most of my classmates were opting for the Arts stream and some were interested in the non-medical, medical stream and commerce etc.
- Two of my best friends were embarking on an engineering diploma.
- So, I was in a dilemma of making the right decision for my bright future.
- My parents had not much knowledge about the scope of these options.
- One of my cousins recommend me to take the medical stream as she pursued the same.
- Every passing day was escalating my tensions as I didn’t have much time to finalize.
- I also took the help of my school teachers because they were well aware of my strengths and weaknesses.
- After listening to everyone, it was all up to me to make the final choice and I sorted out 2 options which were the arts and non-medical streams.
- I wanted to opt for the non-medical stream but my marks in maths were average.
- So, I was doubtful about choosing this stream as maths, physics and chemistry are its main subjects.
- However, the future scope of this stream was promising.
- So, I trusted myself and made my mind to enrol in the non-medical stream.
- It took me almost 2-3 weeks to make this decision.
- The prime reason why it was a challenging decision because I didn’t have much guidance.
- So, whatever I decide, I’ll be responsible for my future.
- Fortunately, this decision has proven really beneficial for me as I passed the 12th grade with flying colors and now I have a bunch of good options to choose from.
