 THE BIGGEST DECISION OF MY LIFE

         The life can change from a second to another, since I was child my around was
constantly changing, we were moving to a town to another town, to a city to another city,
but always searching a stability in every sense. At the beginning I can’t get accustomed
with my friends, with the things and places that I went, and some years later I can’t get
accustomed with the people that are around me because anytime they can move away or go
to another place. But that is what this is about, to change and have progress always. My
parents educated me to be an integral person, I feel that they expect a lot from me. My mom
had me at an early age, she was on 10 or 11 grade when she met with my dad and be
pregnant, like all the people she expected to go to the university and can have a great job,
but she had two problems that stopped her, first and obviously is that she need to care me
when my dad was on the job and things like that, and the other is that she doesn’t know
what to do in the university and what passionate her and what want in her life, was so long
time later that she finds those answers and be in the place that she wanted.

         In another case my dad studied in a town that was destined to work there with my
grandfather, he tried but he didn't like it, so he searched for a career related to engineering.
He studies three different things in three different places until he finds what he likes and
wants to do in his rest of his life. He needs to sacrifice time, friends, time to relax, to avoid
the destiny that a lot of his friends do. Nowadays he found his place in life after making
mistakes and he also wants to continue progressing.  Many people like my dad find their
way after taking a lot of opportunities and learn another thing, like Harrison Ford. Before
being a Hollywood star with participations like Indiana Jones and Han solo, He spent 15
years working like a carpenter, until coincidentally he had a work in an office of a producer
called George Lucas and the destiny took him to be an actor. (Álvarez, I. 2016).

  I’m conscious that I have the support of many people like my family and friends,
and unlike my parents, I have the access to a lot of information of what I could do with my
life and what I would like to do, but I don’t have a specific plan of what I want to do and
where I would like the life take me, I’m only planning to do things that I really passionate
and make me happy, doesn’t matter if is a long way or I make some mistake here, I will
know where is my place in the life.
