text: When a person seeks advice from multiple people that have had experiences with their choice, the person is more likely to be more aware of what the possible outcomes are. For example, when I was choosing my electives for eighth grade, I couldn't decide whether to retake Algebra I or take Geometry. Therefore, I asked my sister, Generic_Name, who had retaken Algebra I, and my brother, Generic_Name, who had taken Geometry. Generic_Name's opinion was that because my grade Algebra 1 in was not good, it'd be wiser to retake it because the eighth grade Algebra I teachers taught better than the seventh grade teachers. She also mentioned that retaking it was a chance to get my grades higher. Generic_Name, however, told me that Geometry was easy and it could give me more high school credits. I chose to retake Algebra I, as a result, I have a perfect score in the class and I was able to learn more than I did in seventh grade. My peers that have taken Geometry say that the class is hard and they don't have a good grade in it. When I asked my siblings what it was like taking each class in eighth grade, they shared with me their experiences which lead me to make right choice by taking Algebra I which had a better outcome.
