"The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost was a very powerful poem for me. To me, it means that you should not always take the path that others are taking. It shows you that it is okay to go the other way every once in a while. It shows human struggle in the sense of, it is not always easy to go against the grain. It shows that he also doubted himself many times too.
I chose this poem because, it has a lot to do with my life. Through the coarse of my life, I constantly tell myself that I'm going to do what is best for me and not to do what everyone else is. I tell myself I am going to do something against the grain but I almost always end up doubting myself. As I look forward to the future, I realize that I need to do what is most beneficial for me and not for what the class of 2012 is doing. For in 5 years, I won't even know 99% of the people that I am trying so hard to impress right now.

You did a reaaallly nice job, Kaleen! You analyzed the poem really well. :] And it's true: we won't know at least half of the people we try to impress, and we should do what's best for us and what will benefit us in the future. Keep up the amazing work! =]
