There voices were all around me, talking at once. I could barely think let alone answer their question." "Come on, Sara said, Who is going to be? Us or her? " There was so much i wanted to say; but couldn't find the words to say them. I wanted to say," Who do you think you are i am sticking with Jen. She is a better friend and i would never treat her the way you do." I couldn't. Sara and her friends scare me to much to speak my mind. I fear that they would hurt me if i made the decision that they did not want to hear. But, come to think of it.. they did give me a choice. In that case, why not chose what i know is best for me. " Hurry Up," Sara barked. "We do not have all day. Who did you chose." At this point i was getting anxious. I knew what my answer was; but, how could i tell them. Thinking about the benefits of either side made me rethink my decision. Jen and I have a strong friendship. She is caring and trustworthy. Come to think of it, she is the best friend that i have ever had. Sara, well she is just popular. Although her negativity and disrespect can bring me down , she makes me feel accepted by others. Her social status makes me look cool. I remember sharing with my Mother about the situation that i have been in for quite some time. Along with my decision and what would be best for me. She kept it brief and said, "Do what your heart leads you to." How would i know what my heart feels? I guess i will find out.

Their eyes were staring at me know and i could tell they were getting impatient. I recollected my thoughts and make sure that i understood what i was doing. I looked around me and i knew that my choice will change everything. I knew that i was going to lose a friend today.. but who? I tried to look back in the past to give me an idea of where my fond memories cam from. At that moment i felt like i knew what my heart we telling me. It was scary, yet reassuring all at the same time. I was ready to share my choice. "I am going to stay with Jen, i said. I shared briefly shared my reason and my friendship with Jen. I surprising did not feel any fear to see what they're reaction to my choice would be. I* walked away that day feeling happier and stronger. Yes, my days of popularity is over, but i do not care. I do not need that social status to feel acceptance. Jen makes me feel accepted and thats all that matters. I d not think that i lost anything at all. In fact, i feel like i just got ride of what has been holding me back. Thanks for caring and for the great advice. It helped out a greatly.

Samantha.

We are all faced with so many choices in life that it is impossible to go along with all of them. In this case, Samantha was given a choice between two friendships. Some chose the good choices that will give them a good outcome and others.. well.. lets just say they're is no good outcome. The choices that we make can lead into a sacrifice that we may just not be ready for yet, and thats okay. But what we all need to keep in mind is thinking everything through thoroughly so that they are no surprises at the end. Samantha thought her decision through and did what she knew was right. If we all take this in mind, there would be many people who would feel as confident in choosing the right decision.
