You should say:
what the decision/choice was
when you made the decision/choice
what the result of the decision/choice was, and whether it was good for you.
But, it was not a very easy decision to make for me at that time as I didn’t only have enough funds to pay for my educational expenses, but also I wasn’t confident enough about a good academic performance, after a significant time of study break, which would be a “must” thing to help me get a job as a university faculty member. Not knowing for sure what to do, I sought for some important advice from one of my high school teachers, who was very much like a “mentor” to me, and he told me that I should have gone back to university again. So, I went back to the university again, and in hindsight 20/20, it was one of the best decisions I have ever made so far
.The decision was about whether to quit my job or not and then going back to university again in order to obtain an advanced degree, such as an MBA, in “international business”. And, the reason, for which I wanted to obtain an advanced degree, was that I wanted to build my career as a university teacher instead of pursuing a career in the corporate world.Whether we like it not, we all have to make some important decisions at some points of our lives because they allow us the opportunities not only to grow as a “person”, but also to adapt and adjust our “life strategies” with the demand of time. Today, I would like to talk about one such important decision, which I made about 5 years ago or so.
Anyway, it was indeed a very important decision to make because it allowed me to find out my true potentials, both on the intellectual level and professional level, in the subsequent years. In fact, I did get an invitation to work as a teacher at a local university after finishing my advanced degree. Besides, this particular decision made me more confident about my life and future than ever before which was more of an important “gift” for me in itself than prospective career opportunities.
