choose

 Life is full of choices. I'm a student about to enter high school. Although I'm young, I face many choices in life. Sometimes I make the wrong choice, but I never regret it, nor do I need to, because I know it's my choice. If I could do it again, I would still choose the same thing. I've regretted it before, but now I think, if I hadn't made that choice, none of this would have happened. I like playing Orange Light games, but I will never play the same game twice. Life is like that; you only have one chance, so I'm prepared. No matter the outcome, it's my choice. I'm not afraid of making the wrong choice; I'm only afraid that it wasn't my choice at all. I used to raise... I had a dog that I lost during the New Year. That day, I took him out to play, but halfway there I went to the bathroom, and firecrackers went off outside. My little darling got scared and left, gone forever. I searched for him for a long time, but I couldn't find him. I felt so sorry for him; I hadn't watched over him properly. I regretted it so much then, because of family reasons, I always told him my sad stories... Later, I happened to get two more dogs, one big and one small. I was worried they might disappear like the last one, so I kept them on leashes. One day, my mother said the big dog seemed sick and she had to give it away. I cried and begged for a long time, but then... I compromised. My family isn't wealthy, and since someone offered to take it and pay for its treatment, why should I hold onto it? It might even be better for it. I didn't do well on the high school entrance exam because of my illness, but thankfully I got into a top-tier high school, meaning I still have a chance to try again. However, it seems I can't go to my ideal high school, because I was aiming for the honors class. What's the point if I don't get into the honors class? But in the end, I still chose my ideal high school because my grandma told me that gold shines wherever it is. So, I'll give it my all at my ideal high school, even if I don't get into the honors class, I'll still strive in my daily life... I worked hard to get into the top class, and I believe in my choice. I won't regret it. When I chose junior high, I chose a tough and demanding one, and I even cut off my beloved long hair. But I don't regret it. Hard work is the first step to success, and it turns out I made the right choice. I believe in my decision.

Thank you everyone for listening to me. Just a few days ago, I was completely hopeless and even contemplated suicide. But I couldn't bring myself to do it. I'm still so young. Even if I encounter things that make me despair, so what? The future is still so long. I can't let myself have regrets. I believe I will achieve my dreams in the future. In fact, we are always the protagonists of our own world.
