Opportunity Cost

A few years ago, when I joined the dance team, I ended up giving up a lot of the social life that I had had previous to it. Slowly, I began to feel myself drifting from two of the girls that I was closest to prior to joining the team. They didn't really understand why I was always so busy and this created frustration and feelings of abandonment. Going in to trying out for the team I definitely knew what I would possibly have to give up but I still went for it. Now, the relationships that I thought were broken a few years ago are healed and there is a whole new level of understanding between the three of us. In conclusion, by joining the dance team, the opportunity cost was sacrficing the amount of time I had previously had to spend socially.
