Megan howard's "The Road not Taken

Outside Reading #2
Robert Frost’s The Road Not Taken is my favorite poem. It takes the most complete and simple idea of the wilderness and cultivates it into the basis for every decision in my life. It is the most deeply personal poem I have ever read and I feel like he is talking about me with every choice I make. I find myself wondering the differences a choice would have made, the consequence of the alternate decision, the life of the road not taken. I find myself falling onto the common path but hope soon I will do what inspires me and not what is expected. This poem helped me to come to my decision to join the Peace Corps after I graduate from college. I find everyone else getting a job after graduation, partying and rushing onto what they have the rest of their lives to do. I want to take a moment to breathe and see what opportunities and experience await me on the road not taken. Because I want to see what more to life awaits me “I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference” I believe. This change in route will change who I am and who I will become.
