Choices

You start making decisions very early, we realize it as parents when we are faced with our children who want to get something at any cost, and dad and mom are the only obstacle before the finish line!
But it is quite another thing to be faced with a child who, after a period of more or less simple and linear reflections, rejoices in having been able to take an autonomous decision that is able to affect the next years of his life. For some, choosing which high school to attend may be the first time they take on such a responsibility. Maybe before we preferred a sport in particular, a group, an extra-curricular activity ... but in a certain sense the scope of the scholastic choice goes beyond, and it is nice to perceive this awareness ... fleeting before being told in a few months: "Why Didn't I choose something easier?".
