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;
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 kept 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.
-Robert Frost
Growing up my sister and I would sing at various churches. One of our favorite songs was entitled, Can't Give up Now, by Mary Mary. 7 years ago I was a senior in high school and I decided to go into Medicine. 7 years later this song holds so much importance in my life. I have applied to Medical school 3 times, I have been denied twice. Recently I was awarded an interview by one school and an invite to fill out a secondary application for another school. I know that I can't give up now, I am so close to fulfilling my dream. This blog is intended to inspire others. I have so much to share with you. Don't ever settle for mediocrity in life. If you have a dream or vision, no matter your age, race, or obstacles set against you....go for it. With God all things are possible. This is my road less traveled.
