Example for "Making Decisions"

Growing up means making my own decisions. Being an eighteen-year-old girl, I know I am old enough to be responsible for whatever decisions I make. That is to say, I am no longer the innocent girl I used to be; I am becoming more self-reliant and independent. Therefore, I should start learning to decide for myself.

The hardest decision that I ever made was to decide to break up with my boyfriend the other day. We parted due to a difference of opinion. I first met him during a Christmas party two years ago and we had been dating ever since. It was fun at first, but things began to get dull in our relationship. Later, I found we could not get along together because we were opposite to each other in every way. There is no use arguing about who was more to blame—it’s all past history.
