The Path's of Life to Choose from

            
             While growing up I never thought that I would have to make a decision as to the path I would travel down in life. After experiencing some difficulties, I have now been faced with that choice. I have come to see that the choices I make in every aspect of my life directly affect another that will be made in the future. Many of the decisions that I have made are based on an experience that I have encountered previous to that choice.
             In my eyes, there are two paths that one travels down during the course of their existence. One path is non-working, while the other being working. When I was in High School I made some decisions that were not beneficial to my life and the consequences that I had to endure taught me some of the best lessons that are needed for me to be successful. I was young and not sure what I really wanted and decided to experiment with many different situations that took me to places that I didn't want to be. The trouble with it was I didn't know how to get out of these situations. I was in a relationship that hurt me in many ways and doing things that that were disrespectful to myself. Being that so many decisions that a person makes is subconscious, I didn't see know why I making these choices. I soon came to find out. After my senior year of high school I was sent to Tranquility Bay, Jamaica. Tranquility Bay is a program for youths that have gone down the path that is non-working for them. .
             While at Tranquility Bay I came across many different situations that were hard for me to cope with. The hardest being the death of my boyfriend, Brandon Karmin. Two weeks after being in Jamaica he died. My parents didn't see it necessary for me to know right away and told me a month after. When I found out about this I thought that my life was over. As the days went on I came to see that for myself and for Brandon I need to go on and still live my dreams and make them reality. I know that for myself what I need to do is see the good we had and lessons I learned in the relationship to assist me in moving on.
