text: First, your peers know you. Most of your close friends and family have known you for awhile. Your family sees the way you work and truly knows all about you. It's important to get advice from them because they will help you make the best choice. Others also see you from a different point of view so it's not all about the way you see yourself. They watch you go about life and they'll know if it's the right choice for you. You also have a bond and trust with the people you talk to. They would never lie or let you down. If they knew it wasn't right for you they would stop you before making that choice. It's important to trust those that you go to, they should be honest and trustworthy. Family and friends know your lifestyle and would let you know if that choice wouldn't be right for your life. Getting advice from others that know you well is one way to make the best choice.
