text: If you go to someone who has been through something like it or who has needed the same kind of advice once before, they can share with you wiser advice. Sometimes when your really not sure what to do and you've already gone to a couple of people, find someone who has been through something like it before. Since they've been through it they can tell you why they came to the decision they made. This may help you with the decision making process. Going to a family member, friend, teacher, or coach that's been through it might steer you into a different direction then you may have hoped for, but they can definitely show you where they're coming from.
