My Decision Was Right, Right?

“To be or not to be” a quote from Shakespearean masterpiece entitled “Hamlet” which means a lot of things and affects our emotional minds. This six-word quote can be a thousand quotes especially for a guy like me. This short quote has something to do with decision, choosing the right decision. Wrong decision leads to mistakes and mistakes can lead to a change, a worse change that can affect our entire life.

As a student, I faced a lot of problems in school such as doing endless assignments/home works and making a lot of projects. Aside from problems, I faced a lot of decisions, a decision that can change the way I am now, a decision that can affect my entire life and a decision that leads me to success or failure.

Aside from assignments and projects, one of the most unforgettable decisions I have made has something to do with computer games (LAN Games). Defence of the Ancients (DOTA) is one of the most played games in the world so I became interested to this game. At first, I played it not that often but when I loved this game, something changed to me. Every time it starts, my blood pressure seems to be high; I become more excited and more energetic. In our school, some of my friends gave me opportunity to have fun by joining them in playing DOTA, so for me, it is another happy moment in my life. Each computer in front of us was already starting up when I have thought of something. I thought that “I can have more time for playing this game and I can also play at home” but the other part of my life said “playing with friends is better than playing at home alone and with your mother scolding you”. I thought of my mother that time and the other side said “my mother is waiting at home and I have a lot of assignments, I have played with them many times so if I will go home it will not affect them so much”. I really love my mom so much so I stood up and said “bye guys, next time na lang, be what you are and I will be what I am”, my friends laughed at me but they seemed to be disappointed to me but I enjoy sitting with them. I went home and I felt “I made the best decision”. When I was in front of our house, I saw a letter from my mother; it said “Dear Kuya . . . . . . Nakila Lolo’t Lola mo kami, iniwan ko yung susi sa kapit-bahay, kunin mo na lang kay Ate Cony mo. May pagkain sa loob kung nagugutom ka o kaya sumunod ka na lang kasi baka gabihin kami ng dating . . . . . . Mommy”.  My decision was right, right?
