Topic 4: Where Choices Lead


Forgoing different choices and opportunity, students must give up something in order to attend PAS; for instance, money, one of the most essential concerns for this school, was necessarily forgone. Moving out from your family was another forgone that I encountered when I studied in PAS. In order to save time of traveling, I rented a house near school in order to avoid traveling from Taoyuan to Hsinchu everyday. Thus, moving away from my home city doesn’t allow me to hang out with my old friends or spend time with my family. After few months of living in Hsinchu, I started getting used my lives. Comparing the benefit and cost of making this decision. I think my benefit is more than my cost; as a result of, my old friends do not have time to hang out with me due to the coming official test, and I don't have that much time to spend with my family, even though I go back to Taoyuan everyday, because I have time spend time on my schoolwork. My family and I can only spend time during the weekend, which is the time I go back to Taoyuan from Hsinchu. Therefore, choosing to live in Hsinchu not only save my time efficiently but also make sure I can cherish the time I have with my family during the weekend. If I have total control of my life, I will make the same decision to come to PAS and rent the same house in Hsinchu. Because I know, by doing this, I can not only attend my favorite school but also save my time efficiently.
