Sometimes when you ask for advice, you realize things you never thought of. Like the example in the last paragraph, someone that you ask might remind you that it is your state track meet. This would greatly influence your final decision because that might be your most important meet of the season. This also helps you think about the long-term effect of your choice. How will this effect other people? How will this make me look? All of these things should be taken into consideration before making your final choice.
