Describe an important decision made with the help of other people You should say: • What the decision was • Why you made the decision • Who helped you make the decision • And how you felt about it

One important decision I made with the help of other people was choosing my university major. At first, I was torn between studying business and studying communication, because both subjects sounded practical and interesting. It felt like a big decision because I knew it could influence my future career path, not just my next few years at university. I made the decision because I wanted to choose something that matched both my strengths and my long-term goals. I’m quite comfortable speaking, writing, and working with people, so communication seemed like a natural fit. However, I was worried that business might offer more job opportunities, so I didn’t want to decide too quickly. My parents, my English teacher, and one of my cousins helped me a lot. My parents encouraged me to think about stability, while my teacher pointed out that I was good at expressing ideas. My cousin, who was already working in marketing, explained how communication skills could be useful in many industries. After listening to them, I decided to study communication, but with some business-related courses as well. I felt relieved and more confident after making the decision. Before that, I had been overthinking everything, but getting advice from people I trusted helped me see the bigger picture. Looking back, I’m glad I didn’t make the choice completely on my own, because their perspectives helped me make a more balanced decision.
