“The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost, tells the tale of the traveler who comes across a crossed road and must decide what road to take.

drive to stay in school, and trouble finding a career that will provide for you. Without these three things, achieving your goals is going to be one of the toughest tasks in the years to come. When setting direction to success you must make good choices on the path you are going to choose. The wrong path will put you somewhere that is going to take you off track from your goals.

Life is full of challenges and struggles, but that doesn’t mean we succumb to them. “You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it.” (Maya Angelou) When asked who I would consider a symbol of everything I want the decision wasn’t hard to make. My mother, Jan Birdsong, is my symbol because she has displayed self-confidence, ethics, and perseverance

school’s struggles wasn’t easy. In addition to all the ‘normal’ challenges that every teenager has, Holden also had depression.
