When Laura received a job offer in Valencia, she did not know what to reply.
On one hand, she loved her city and did not want to move away from her friends.
On the other, the new position would let her learn more, gain experience, and live near the sea.
For several days, she made lists of advantages and disadvantages.
Finally, she decided to accept because she understood that growing sometimes means changing places, even if it is a little scary.
