010. Pros and Cons

Brenda has to make an important decision. She got accepted to an internship in France and a job offer at a hospital.

She can only do one though. She made a list of pros and cons. Pros are the good things while cons are the bad things.

The internship in France was good because Brenda always wanted to go to France. Her plane tickets and living accommodations would be paid for.

The bad thing about the internship was that it had nothing to do with her life goals. The internship required her to teach French children English. Brenda was okay with children, but she didn’t love them.

One pro of the job offer at the hospital was that it was good1= suitable for her end goal. Brenda’s end goal was to be a doctor, and the job would teach her a lot about medical school.

One con of the job offer was the location. The hospital is in a dangerous place where people have to be careful of being robbed and getting hurt.

After (a lot of) thinking and looking at her list, Brenda decided to work at the hospital. She knew that working there would be good for her future.
