1. The Road Not Taken
 
TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,  
And sorry I could not travel both  
And be one traveler, long I stood  
And looked down one as far as I could  
To where it bent in the undergrowth;          5
  
Then took the other, as just as fair,  
And having perhaps the better claim  
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;  
Though as for that, the passing there  
Had worn them really about the same,   10
  
And both that morning equally lay  
In leaves no step had trodden black.  
Oh, I marked the first for another day!  
Yet knowing how way leads on to way  
I doubted if I should ever come back.   15
  
I shall be telling this with a sigh  
Somewhere ages and ages hence:  
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,  
I took the one less traveled by,  
And that has made all the difference.   20
 

 

I read this in my english class a few days ago. I thought I would share what I got out of it.

As long as you may think about two things that you have to choose upon, your always going to end up picking one. You will weigh both out and pick the road thats best for YOU. Even if the road that you take, no one in your family has ever taken before. Which ever way you pick to go you will end up telling the story of your journey.

I felt like my teacher has picked this poem for me because im having doubts about going to school for photography in a different city/state. I want to go, it's my dream. My family supports me with it, but I feel like there sad about it..the faces they make when I mention it. I know going to this school will be a life changing thing. Theres no way I went to work in a casino, but I want to be a photographer. Picking the road to the school I want to go to will give me my dream, and picking the other road will leave me here in my home town of las vegas working in some casino.
