I COULD take the one less traveled by.

THE ROAD NOT TAKEN.
-Robert Frost

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;

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,

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.

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.


This poem, for me has always been the most inspiring poem. Its shouts out courage, passion and that die-hard spirit. Which I'm trying to achieve. I know the things that i think of, all these dreams that I've dreamed, CAN be turned into reality. But reality is just too expensive. Sigh. That's when i thought of a student loan! Everybody takes it. But my parents are too traditional. If i decide to take a student loan after my graduation, they'll think they don't have enough money to support my education. Student loans for such parents are offensive. But, I've always wanted to be independent. And i WILL do it this time.

Usually, these things are better said than done, i know. But it's more of a challenge this time. I'm probably in the worst college ever, right now. But, I'll be in the best college ever for my post grad. That's my dream. And very soon, it'll be the reality.
