text: Receiving advice from more than one person is important because no two people have the same life experiences. Although my fifth grade friend thought she knew what was best for me, she had never actually experienced being in a choir and did not know anything about what the class had to offer. On the other hand, my sixth grade friend knew all about choir, and she knew what being in a choir was truly like. When seeking advice, it is important to understand that some people may be able to lead you to a better decision based on their personal experiences, while others might be less helpful.
