This I Believe

I believe that everyone controls their fate. That all the decisions in life you make decide who or what you'll become in life. I believe that that's why when you're younger, your parents want you to try new things all the time, and not just be a couch potatoe. They want you to do all the things they may regret not doing as a child. But not doing something could result in a bad after effect. For example, if someone decided to not study for their math test, they're also deciding to not pass that test which may result in them not passing high school or maybe not even going to college then. All the decisions we make whether large or small, in the end the chain reaction of it could make a large and significant difference.
