A question a day. From science to sports, literature to leisure, God to groceries. As two 19 year old college students from Ronkonkoma, NY we know less than we think. This is to get us thinking.

Question #4
What is the hardest choice you have ever made in your life thus far?
So this is getting deep, and I know this is only the fourth post but I've been in a deep mood lately so I'm gonna roll with it. The hardest choice I have ever made in my life was deciding to break things off with Samantha. I had so many conflicting feelings over what I should do. I knew I had to but at the same time I so didn't want to. I knew it was going to involve a lot of hurt and pain. But this was really a result of me not making hard choices from the start. I knew for a long time but I ignored reality, that I needed to. It was a big choice that was the result of many little choices to ignore the consequences of my actions. I have God to thank that he could turn a situation with so much hurt around and work it out for good.
wow very intense already dude. And thats a pretty tough question. Hmm... hard to think about but only one thing really comes to mind at this time. It's got to be my choice to come to the Coast Guard Academy, versus going to any other non-military college, and to stay here. I get really stressed when I am here, probably due to the amount of work I get coupled with my annoying desire to have to do everything perfectly. Last year there was a time when I was really close to saying screw this place im out of here. I dont think about that anymore, but the constant pressure that I feel really takes a toll on me. When I was getting ready to graduate high school and knew I was coming here, I really questioned myself as to if I was making the right choice. It has affected so many things in my life now and I really have a completely different lifestyle than almost every other college kid does. I am glad that I made the choice that I did though, because although on one hand the pressure really gets to me, I think I need it. I like being constantly challenged, otherwise I would get bored very quickly. So yeah, deciding to come here was probably my toughest decision yet, one that has and will impact me for years to come. I cannot imagine my life without the Coast Guard right now, so I guess I made the right decision.
