DECISION MAKING<br />
Decisions...decisions...<br />
You've known your best friend forever. You both grew up in the same neighborhood, went to the same schools, even started playing soccer together at age 5. And now you've both finally gotten good enough to make the school team. The problem is, while learning comes easy to you, for your friend it is often a struggle. And doing well is really important because, if grades slip, the soccer coach suspends players from the team. <br />
