text: Bad choices lead to consequences. Over fifty-four percent of people in the United States believe that the bad choices they have made can lead to consequences later on. I wonder how many of those same people have asked any of their friends and family if the choice they make right now would turn on them, or benefit them later on. Whenever I have a big decision to make I go to my friends, family, coaches, and teachers. No questions asked. It is so good to have multiple peoples opinions on these types of things. There was a time when I had to choose whether to go on a better baseball team that had some of my friends on it, or a not as good baseball team that had none of my friends on it. Changing teams can be a big deal, some could relate it to working for a better company than they were before, but these decisions don't come easily do they? No, they take time and who better to help you with these decisions than the people whom you trust the most. After about a week of receiving opinions from people such as my family and friends, I made this best choice for me, and it turned out great. I started having more fun hanging with my friends and we were winning more games. My old coach understood and I still keep in touch with him to this day. I know that without my peers, I probably wouldn't have made the same choice, and my other choice could have led to smaller consequences such as, not getting enough recognition or losing more games than we should be losing.
