Placid because it is used to describe the ducks
Despite our parents making most of our decisions for our better and brighter future when we’re very young, we start learning how to choose between the options placed strategically in front of us and make decisions.
The choices you make and the decisions you take have a long lasting impact on your life. They make us special, put a bar of distinction between us and everyone else. Our lives are a series of choices we’ve made so far. We live with those choices for the rest of our lives
I can tell you what it's not if you're having trouble understanding parallel structure...
"I think I will make a good president because I am honest, trustworthy, and I’m behaving responsibly.<span>"
If this was using parallel structure, it would be "...</span>because I am honest, trustworthy, and responsible."
"<span>I have many plans for the student council, such as making the council more organized, to ensure everyone has a voice, and I’ll be managing meetings more efficiently."
</span>For this, it'd have to be, "...such as making the council more organized, ensuring everyone has a voice, managing meetings more efficiently."
I'm not sure which sentence it actually is though. It's possible it's the last sentence.
