What big decision changed your life?

The decision to say no and stick to that answer. I have always been used to saying yes to whatever people wanted from me. I hated to ever say no to them even though I really didn't want to do something they asked for. I got tired of doing things that I didn't want to do so I started saying no to alot of things. i made alot of people mad and they do not talk to me anymore, but I don't care. I am very tired of making myself miserable to please other people all of the time. Life is meant to be lived and enjoyed and now I am starting to get a little taste of it, thank God.

well, when i finished high school about three years ago, where i failed my o-level exams. In that short amount of time, i had to make decisions on how i studied and what was my mistakes at that time. Then, i realized that my arrogance and overconfidence made that failure came true. So i decided to change by following any people giving advices i will follow and always follow the flow of life to succeed.

About 4 years ago I was living in Connecticut, where I grew up, and at the time my daughter was about to turn 4. I was living in a studio apartment and paying almost $600 a month! My retail job was cutting my hours and I wasn't able to keep up with bills and pay for daycare! My mom had moved to North Carolina in October of 2002 and she loved it. I was sad to see my mother leave because selfishly I still needed her to help me with things. So I was getting kicked out of my apartment and didn't have anywhere to go. I was on the verge of having to live in a shelter and I wasn't about to put my daughter through that. I was going to do everything I could to stop that from happening. Cost of living is so high up north, so finding another apartment was pretty much out of the question. So I decided to pack up and move to North Carolina. It has been the greatest decision I have ever made. I moved in with my mom and step father. For about a year I was trying to find a job and thinking about going back to school. I finally enrolled and will be graduating in May of this year. Since moving here, my daughter is much happier, I've met the man of my dreams and got married last June, and couldn't be happier about where I am at in my life. I am still having a hard time finding a job but that's because my daughter is special needs and it's hard to work and take care of her when she's not in school. There's always going to be something going on in our lives, you just have to know when the time is to make a change. We all have choices. Luckily I made the right one for my family.
