Choice and Consequence Question #1....

Every choice that we make has a consequence. Choices create who we are the ability to step out on faith and do great things or fall back and do the opposite. Either way, we pay for the decisions we make with whatever consequences are attached. In you opinion, how can the choice a person makes and the resulting consequences impact his/ hes and the lives of others? How does the media and the hype of a situation play into the decisions that we make and the way that their lives turn out? As you think about the response to this question, consider an example to support your point of view. Also, consider making this response personal if possible.

Well, nowadays young women are getting pregnant at a young age without being married first. When the child is born into this world, it has to suffer with your drama. Then they say,"I DON"T THIS BABY". That's when the mother don't take responiblity for the child. Since you made the choice of laying there now you have to suffer the consequence which is that human being in your womb. They would be suffering for 18 long years. It ain't as easy as just getting a beaten after lying to your daddy. For example, I have 2 cousins that went down the wrong road. Their babydaddy ain't trying to deal with them & their child. They both graduated highschool but right after that they got pregnant. Being single mothers, they are struggling with balancing college courses, feeding their child, & putting a roof over their heads. I learned that I'm not going to have children until I'm married & I have my career.

From my point of view an individuals wrong choice can stop an individual from commiting their same mistakes. For example, my dad, he is an individual that I tremendously admire. Due to the fact that when he was a kid, he decided to drop out of elementary school; because he saw that his parents were having financial problems. What kid do you know desires to be an architecture at the age of 12? My dad didnt think for himself, he thought for the good of others. He has taught me not to take education for granted. On the contrary, he has taught me that education only comes one time around and that I should take advantage of it. So that in that way I can live a better life were I dont have to struggle. For one part my dad regrets dropping out of school because now he has to depend on only one job in which they dont pay him good. Knowing how talented and smart my dad is its sad to see that he has to settle for less. My dad motivates me to stay in school he motivates me to reach the pinnacles I plan to reach in life.

The decisions and actions that we make in life can affect those around us whether it be for a positive or a negative reason the impact is always going to remain there forever. I have always seen my mother as a role model due to her courage and her will to succeed in life.My mother grew up as a hard working child she was always on the watch out for whenever she had to work with her mother my grandparents were very poor sometimes my grandfather had to leave his family for months in order for him to go somewhere else to seek for a job to sustain his family.Which allowed for my mother to grow stronger and it gave her the courage to seek for a job and work at an early age to help her parents.This experience has allowed for my mother to be a hard working person she also wants the best for us,but i know that the only way that I can repay my parents and make them happy is by me graduating from high school then attend a college or a university and become someone very successful. That would make my entire family very proud of me.
