Sample 1

We must make decisions to lead our lives toward an impressive growth trajectory. I have made various informed decisions in my life; one is wealth mentioning. The decision was made when I passed my 10th standard, and during that time, I was in a dilemma as to whether I should opt for commerce or non-medical, which was challenging.

With a lot of consideration, I made this decision. It was challenging to make because, at that time, commerce was a booming industry, and there was a shortage of chartered accountants, company secretaries and cost accountants in the market.

So everyone was telling me to go into this field, but I had different plans because, since childhood, I have had a keen interest in computers. So, I wanted to go into the field of computers, but my near and dear ones were apprehensive about this decision.

So they convinced me that if I opted for commerce, that would be good, but I had a different plan because I didn’t have much interest in accountancy. So, finally, I decided to opt for non-medical, and I did my plus one plus two in the non-medical stream.

After that, I did BTech in computers and I got a plum job with a handsome salary. So the end result turned out to be good. There were two choices. So, instead of listening to others, I listened to my heart, which proved good for me.
