I've made lots of decisions in my life and because I’m a prettyconfident guy, I usually make important decisions by myself.

The particular decision that was very important to me was when I had todecide what major I was going to apply for at university. I wanted to studyEnglish Literature but my mother, on the other hand, really wanted me to doengineering and put me under a lot ofpressure. My father was more laidback about it and didn’t force me to do anything I didn’t want to do. Hisadvice was to do what I thought was best for myself. Of course, all my mum’srelatives thought I was a fool and too immature to make such a big decision formyself.

So I was in a quandary. I wanted to respect my parents, but at the same time Ihad my whole life before me, and I had toput my future first. But, who could I turnto for good advice? I couldn’t speak to my English or technology teachers,as they would be biased towardstheir own subjects, so I decided to speak to my grandfather. My granddad hadbeen a head teacher of a high school for many years, but now he was retired.But he had always been kind to me, so I knew he would give me the best advice.

Before the meeting, I thought a lot about the pros and cons, and wrote a lot of notes and lists. It was quite astressful time for me, and I shed a fewtears. I met granddad at his favourite hotpot restaurant, and over dinnerwe discussed the situation calmly and logically. We debated both sides of theargument and he calmly led me to thedecision I finally took.

I wanted to follow my dream to study English Literature. And I'm overthe moon that I made this decision. I know that I will enjoy studyingliterature and there is no chance that I will drop out. If it wasn’t for the wisdom of my grandpa, I might have takenanother path and that would have been so wrong.
