Free Willy

I believe that your free will determines your fate. Everyday we make choices. Sometimes we think of the consequences and other times we feel spontaneous. We often think of decisions as deciding whether to do our homework or not; however, a decison can be as simple as: I am going to scratch my leg. Our lives are filled with little decisions that shape our future. And in our future lies more decisions. Destiny is unclear; within the blink of an eye our future can be changed. Your future could be changing as you read this:

• You could eat a slice of Mellow Mushroom pizza and choke on all that cheese. With no one around to save you because you are skipping cross country practice, you will die.
• You could decide that you need to use the restroom, your toilet could back up and you could be knee deep in something you don't want to be knee deep in.
• You could just remember you left your english homework in your car. Your mom calls and tells you to water the flowers. You go out into the garage and realize you have parked on the hose. You turn the car on and back up a foot. Your key gets stuck in the ignition and you cannot turn the car off. Your ghetto car won't let you unlock the doors until the car is off. The garage door is closed and fumes begin to engulf you. You fight to turn the key, but the oxygen has run out.

All of these situations could very well happen to you. People claim to know what choices they would make when presented with a problem, but without experiencing it, how would you really know? Would you really wait for the cops to show up? Would you actually risk your life for your friend?
