New Challenge - #9 - Difficult Choice


210) Why you made a difficult choice
When people take the easy path do get to the top, it doesn’t prove anything great about that person. Unknowingly life will throw at you challenges; in those hard times you would have to know how to overcome it. Taking an easy route won’t get a person too far in life.
Thinking back to when I was in sixth grade—I had a project to complete within five days. Before I started the project I had three prompt questions out of which two were writing work and the one was creative work. Since I knew if I chose the any of the two writing work I would finish it with no hassle at all, therefore I decided to work on something creative. I chose to make a cell model for the science class. We were provided with no supplies at all, the project was totally in our hands. All the decisions that were made were by us and not the teacher. For three consecutive days I was just working on the project and no other homework of mine. I could have chosen the easier writing prompt, but for a change I wanted to be creative and wanted to show what I have got. I have no regrets for choosing to make a creative cell model; in fact I understood the cell concept better by seeing it. Sometimes choosing the difficult path might lead to a number of good things. In my case I had to go through days only concentrating on making a model, but in the end I understood it better by seeing it, and I ended up with a good grade that I thought I deserved.
When I have open options left for me to decide, I make it a point to choose something different which I might not have ever heard about, but I surely would like to give it a try. At first I might fail at it but enjoy it at the same time; but that does not mean I can’t keep trying it.

  1. Your post is to the point which is good, however, you could improvise in your sentence structures. Sometimes some of the phrases are misplaced, for example "life will throw at you challenges." A better structure could have been "life will throw challenges at you." Also the word choice in this post could be improved. You could have said written assignment instead of "writing work." Your response had a good message overall.
