Decide only for yourself

It's just like what the proverb songs. You can lead a horse to water. But you can't make him drink. It's known to all that out lines are full of choices and one must make decisions for himself. Just like one can lead a horse. But he can never do anything instead of the horse.
When I was in Grade Six of my primary school. I had to choose a junior high school for further education. The date of graduation was coming closer and closer and I had been worrying about the junior high school for quite a long time. My mother was really a great help. She led me to two schools in our city. One was the best in our district, the other was the best in our city. One was quite near to my house so that I wouldn't need to line in the school, the other was better in education and environment but it was for from my home. I would have to line in the school. Mother told me to choose one, not both. After that, she left for work. Honestly, is was really hard to make a decision.
A few days later, there came a holiday. I, with some friends, paid a visit to the best school. I just thought, it would be my school also.
...
just one year ago, we had to make a big decision for ourselves again, about our senior high school. This time, mother just kept silent. I knew I had to find some references myself. I called on my pals and asked them to go with me to visit some schools. We took a bus to a bigger city because there were better schools there.
We visited two schools in all. Because we considered them to be the best schools in that city. The visit took us only one day. We had to return to our city.

On our way home, I said to my pas. "well, I think we need to make a decision, we can either live near the center of the city or receive a better education."
They nodded,
'I prefer receiving a better education,' I said, smiling at them. Now, I'm no logger the horse, you are!'
...
a few days ago, I told my parents of my idea about something is on English school. They brought home a lot of advertisements about English schools.
'GLV's very good.' my father said.
