<p>" however, when one has very limited options it is difficult to make a decision that will both help one grow and reach his or her full potential. " </p>
<p>is the grammar ok? and does it make sense?</p>
<p>this sentence is very important to me please help!!!</p>
<p>Technically, it might be proper English but it sounds stilted, awkward and impersonal. More commonly, we might say:</p>
<p>“however, when you have very limited options it is difficult to make a decision that will both help you grow and reach your full potential.”</p>
<p>But I actually prefer re-writing the sentence altogether, so that it (roughly) says something like</p>
<p>“however, it is difficult to make a life-changing decision with limited options.”</p>
<p>do you think i should include the word " both " ?</p>
<p>and do you know if its ok to use " you " in a college application essay?</p>
<p>Got2begreen has some good advice, and no, I’d stay away form using you in any essay.</p>
<p>You could also try:</p>
<p>It is difficult to grow and reach one’s full potential when attempting to make a decision off of limited options.</p>
<p>I don’t think Got2BeGreen sentence conveys the meaning you want to convey, because it’s saying “…it is difficult to make a decision where that decision will help you grow and IT will reach YOUR full potential.”</p>
<p>You could use:
However, when you have very limited options it is difficult to make a decision that will both help you grow and allow you to reach your full potential.</p>
