I’ll talk you through what the decision was, when I took it and what the results were. Finally, I’ll explain why it was so important that it still impacts on me today. The decision was which university l should go to when l graduated from my high school last year.According to my score got in high school entrance examination in China,there were two universities whichwere the most suitable ones for me to choose.A dilemma occured to me at that moment,cause l was really interested in one of them which was good at finance but my parents persuaded me to go to another which had the expertise in law.After contemplating for several days,l drew to a conclusion to go to the latter since the school once l was interested in is poor at employment rate compared with another.Eventually,l was admitted to that university.The reason why l considered it as a good decision is that the law laid truly solid foundation on my undergraduates’ education which was helpful for me to make progress in other areas.
