It is the 2nd essay from my FLEX application. I would like to know what you guys think of my answer, do you think that it fits the FLEX criteria?
The question:
Describe a situation when you had to make a difficult decision. How did you make your decision?
My essay:
It was August of 2022 when I learned about the new project in my country, an IT-pilot class.
My family and I weren't in the city and I had less than a week to get prepared for the exam. I talked with my parents about the situation and they decided to leave the vacation earlier because of my unexpected exam. I studied as much as I could without internet connection and a computer, with only limited amount of books. When i got home, I continued my studies with the help of internet and other books. After taking the exam, my school offered a list of schools for me to choose because it didn't have any pilot classes at the time.
It broke my heart knowing that i should leave my school life, friends and deep bonds with my teachers. I experienced a deep sense of sadness. Yet, as time went on, I discovered a new path where like-minded students and supportive teacher I was meant to be meeting. Looking back, I feel a mixture of emotions - the pain of letting go and the joy of new beginnings. Now I realise i was left with heart full memories and growth. If i was given the same situation, I would make the same heart breaking decision.
Transition to a new school seemed to be challenging. i was leaving my comfort zone, facing uncertainties . This year wasn't only about classes; it was a journey to find myself. With every lesson and talk, I uncovered not only what I study, but also my true passions and the essence of my being.
The resilience i discovered while adapting to new school, the persistence to overcome challenges, and the ability to build connections with various people are skills that I plan to carry forward.
