Making decisions can be tough, especially if those decisions will make a big impact on others or on yourself. When choosing your path, it's important to envision where it will take you. No one knows the future, but it is greatly informed by your actions in the present. As the school year's end nears, it's likely you will have to make some decisions soon. Maybe you have to decide how to spend your summer. Will you work a job, take summer classes, go away to camp, join a sports league, plan for college, visit somewhere new? Whatever you're grappling with, remember to think about the ripple effect of your actions — and don't hesitate to seek the advice of those who care about you and know you best.
