Although we may not notice it we make hundreds of decisions on a daily basis, most of them in the matter of seconds. Some of the decisions we make can be as simple as choosing what to wear, what to eat, where to go, etc. The decisions we make can impact us in a positive or negative way. A good example of a decision we make on a daily basis is deciding whether we should go to class or not. Going to class gives us a better chance of passing the class, getting a better grade and allows us to expand our knowledge. If we decide to not attend class we may fall behind and this may lead to potentially failing the class. Simple decisions sometimes lead to being put in danger. I myself have experienced a simple decision going wrong, one time my friend called me and said to come outside to go to the store with him. With little to no thought I walked out of my house and got in the car. At the time we were 16 so we didn’t think much could go wrong, but as we did a sharp turn at a high rate of speed we crashed into a parked car. This shows how a simple decision can be either negative or positive. Many make the decision to consume alcohol or drugs on a daily basis, this is a decision that could be major. Although they may not notice it now, that decision can come with lots of major effects such as health problems, becoming addicted, and can even end up putting them behind bars. This is why when making a decision we should think about all the possible outcomes or problems that may come with it before making our decision.

Jonathan,
I agree with you we do make hundreds of decisions every day of your lives in the blink of an eye. I like how you brought up one of the biggest decisions college kids have to make every day. As college students, every day we do think to ourselves do we really need to go to class? I am happy that you show not only the negative aspects of skipping class but also the positives of showing up. I also like that you shared your own personal experience with making bad decisions and the consequences of them. Everyone has a story or two to tell about the decisions that they made and did not know it would end up the way they did. The way you bring up real-life examples of drinking and smoking and the negative effect these decisions hold is also very informational to me the reader.

I really enjoyed reading your blog post-Jonathan, you have great points and examples throughout your entire blog. You are totally right with saying that decisions can be positive and negative. Sometimes we don’t even notice when we decide on a decision, which can sometimes affect us for the day. Something that caught my attention was when you gave an example of ” Should we go to class and pass the course or shouldn’t go to class and failed” I can absolutely agree with you, I’ll be deciding if I should go to my American American often but like you say it can affect us in the course by not showing up to class. Overall, you had great grammar and punctuation, most importantly you had good examples.

Jonathan,
Each week, I will comment on 4 or 5 posts, so that by the end of the semester, everyone has heard from me twice. Here, you talk about what seems like a simple decision (getting into the car with a friend) that can go awry (crashing into a parked car), and a lot of times, we have no way of knowing which decisions will have no impact and which ones will have a positive or negative outcome. All we can do is analyze situations, try to learn from them, and hope this makes a difference. On a side note, the car incident could have ended much worse, and I’m glad you are okay.
Best,
Rachel G.
