text: Third, it's good to get advice from people who see both sides. They could show you the good and bad. For example, I was struggling with something very important in my life. I had two options. One try out for softball and two keep being involved with my club FCCLA. I have played softball since I was four. I love it, but I have grown to love FCCLA even more. I am an officer and I am competing in the state competition. If I made the softball team, I could no longer be involved with FCCLA. There would not be time for both. So, I talked to my parents and my grandma. My parents wanted me to do softball. They were going to make me try out. Then, I talked to my grandma. She said I would love JV softball, but I would spend all my time doing it. She also said FCCLA looks great on a college application and it's fun. She showed me both sides. I talked to the coach and he compromised with me. He said I could practice with the team so I could have a flexible schedule. Asking another person really helped me with my decision.
