The Butterfly Effect
Choice. This six letter word may seem simple in thought, but it comes with a world of responsibility. Our choices represent a path, and within that path we are given two options;you have the choice to travel down one path, but where it’ll take you is unknown. You may also take another route, which leads you somewhere different. While it may seem simple enough, the choices we make everyday will affect the rest of our lives. From the choice to get up or hit snooze, to deciding between cars – we evaluate our decisions carefully, as our future will be determined by these choices. The choices we make have an explicit impact on our lives, granting us the power to live life according to our own terms, and to create our own …show more content…
Choices create learning experiences that act as a distinction of who we are and what we will become,on the journey to achieve our greatest potential.

My parents made it necessary that we value how privileged we are, and I made the choice to follow in my parents footsteps, and to become socially responsible. My mum always said, “believe in karma; as you sow, so shall you reap”. This formed the person I am today, as I love to help others on a daily basis and spread this message to those close to me. The result of our choices lead us to become responsible and accountable for our actions,creating mature and sensible individuals. Making choices often requires us to think of who this decision will impact. Not only do our choices impact us, but they are also directly related to those around us. Through minor choices such as deciding who to work in a group with, to making a choice of being the designated driver after a night of partying, these actions shape the person we become and are reflective of our values that are embedded within us. They represent the pattern of choices we tend to make, and the emotions associated with those impacted. Choices also have a direct impact on our feelings and the relationships we form over a lifetime. Whether it be acquaintances, a friend, a romantic interest or family, our prior knowledge and exposure to these types of relationships determine our actions. Due to the fact that I was raised in a large family with strong values, I am often described as sociable, family oriented and hope to one day have a large family myself. It is the environment I was surrounded
