What if I didn’t decide to go to US high? I think I will still be stuck in the old class and preparing for the second biggest test in my life. I will still be fighting against those mean girls in my class. Hating each other in the back, but pretend that we are still friends, and maintain this fake friendship.
What if I take the US High test now? I think I won’t be able to enter this school very easily. I might be in grade nine. I might not be the president. I might have different classmates. I won’t be able to meet those awesome friends that I have now.
What if I wasn’t a good student? I think everything will be harder for me, no matter it is study or life. Although I never experienced that myself, I watched people around me suffering from this. So I know how it feels like.
Think about these three “what if”; maybe I’ve already got the best I can get.
Let’s just assume that those choices I made are all good. Anyhow, life has to go on. Even though there were bad choices, we can’t do anything about it. We can never go back to the last second, because time can’t reverse. I guess the only thing we can do is to accept the life as it is. Because in reality, there’s no “what if”.
