11．Everybody makes decisions in daily life．Any decision could be the turning point of your life．I made an important decision when I was in Junior 3．Before I made that decision，I didn't listen to my parents and teachers，and my grades became poor．Then came the high school entrance exam．
At the turning point of my life，my mom had a conversation with me．Instead of asking me to study hard，Mom just asked what I wanted to do in the future．Without thinking too much，I just said I would like to study hard．Mom smiled and asked again："I asked：what do you WANT to do？"I never seriously thought about the question．So，I said nothing．"Whether you want to go on studying or enter the society，it is your own decision．Your life should be decided by you，not by anyone else，including me．"After saying that，she had tears in her eyes．
For the first time in my life I was asked to make my own decision．I sat in my chair and thought about myself，my life and what kind of person I wanted to become．I wanted to be a man who makes a difference in the world．To achieve that，I needed to study hard．The path to my future became clear to me．I didn't act rebelliously（叛逆地） any more，I began to study hard．
Now，I'm 17and I'm in one of the best schools in my city，in one of the best classes at the school and I am one of the best students in the class．
