Decision Analysis
The Oxford Dictionary defines a decision as the action or process of deciding something or of resolving a question. This may seem vague or even common sense, but I believe there is nothing more important in the world than the decisions we make. Every day there are billions of decisions being made that all effect one another and everything around them, deciding what will happen to the Earth. Every decision is important and can decide the fate of the world, such as the decision of a British soldier named Henry Tandey in World War I. His one small decision to be humane and spare a German soldier, a young Adolf Hitler, caused the death of over 50 million people. Every decision, big or small, is important to our lives.

I had thought about it for almost a year when I turned 14 on whether I wanted a job or not as I enjoyed my summers of relaxing, but I also wanted to make money, and my family told me that I had to because every teenager does. I thought of the pros and cons of getting a job, thought about it for months, and researched, but finally made the decision that I needed a job if I wanted to enjoy my summers, so even if I wanted to relax, it wouldn’t be very fun. After this moment, I spent even more time figuring out what jobs I could get and where. I started looking first at golf courses because a few of my friends worked there but it was a bust, none would hire me. I checked fast food restaurants but all required you to be at least 16. I finally decided to ask my mom for help, which quickly landed me a job as a dishwasher where she worked. Although I had gotten what I wanted, my decision only caused me more frustration, anger, and tiredness, with the only positive being money (which is a very good positive).
These were only two of the most important decisions in my life, but there are many more smaller ones that can make just as big impact. One that I have to make almost every day is when and if I start my assignments. Ever since I was in middle school I struggled with a major procrastination problem. Every day I try to rationalize and decide that I can just start
