The Decision That Changed My Life 1/26/2012

The Decision That Changed My Life


Author’s Note: The decision is life changing because if I would have stayed in New Berlin I never would have met my friends.


        Do you think everything happens for a reason? Well I think it does because we never really are 100% sure about what the future holds. Sure you can guess but 99% of the time you’re going to be wrong.  Yes I do think everything happens for a reason and this is why.

Yes I do agree that everything happens for a reason because you never know what is going to happen in the future. You can meet someone and then they could leave but someday you could see them again because everything happens for a reason. Everything happens for a reason and the reason is either good or bad.

When I was in first grade I didn’t really like it here because I was the new kid from Greenfield. I didn’t know anybody so I didn’t have a lot of friends that year. After first grade I wanted to move in with my mom. My mom lived in New Berlin at the time.

So for second grade I moved to New Berlin. Halfway through the year I realized how much I missed going to Pewaukee. In second semester I moved back in with my grandparents to back to Pewaukee. Ever since I moved back to Pewaukee in second grade I’ve lived here ever since. That is why that decision changed my life.

In conclusion everything happens for a reason because we don’t know what the future holds. Also the reason is always either bad or good. Another thing is that this decision changed my life in many ways.
