I was walking home on the long broken up concrete path from the bus stop to my house‚ should I? Or should I not? When would I have the time? What would other people think of it? Why should I fight for it without help? I was so confused about what I wanted to do. I pondered these questions for hours. I didn’t know what I should choose.
