Topic 3: Where Choices Lead

Coming to PAS was my very own decision by doing so; I gave up what I had in America in order to come to Taiwan for this education. Being placed in this class as well; it was completely forced onto me by the head of the school and not of my own choices. Money is only one of the opportunity costs of the decision of coming to this school. An intangible opportunity cost of what was forgone was the ability to take the actual class that I have wanted to instead of being placed in the class of economics.

My decision of attending this school has not been a bad experience at all compared to my original school back in the states, but the decisions from the head are exceptionally irrational in most cases. But take for example of being in economics; this was utterly decided by Pamela, therefore removing me from my original class I expected to attend to but was placed into economics. Although this idea did not please me at first, I have not come to hate economics but to come to accept it as a useful class for my future. This choice in moving me from a class that she thought was useless for me may actually benefit me.
