text: Because everyone has a unique background, seeking multiple opinions can open your eyes to ideas you had never even thought of before. When making the decision about my middle school elective, I was only considering what the class was about. Until my mom had asked me about teachers, I had never stopped to think about how the class could be more or less enjoyable based on the teacher that taught it. My mother had given me a new perspective on my dilemma. Had I only talked to my best friend or my sixth grade friend, I would've never stopped to think about the teachers and their individual personalities. Getting advice from multiple people can often times give you a new outlook on your situation.
