The Road Not Taken

The poem "the road not taken" has a lot of meaning to it. The road not taken looks perfect and swept, but the reason for that is because no one takes it. The character who does not know which one to take is unique. In The Road not taken it says "I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference." No one will ever know which one is better unless someone tries. In stopping by the woods on a snowy evening it says "he will not see me stopping here" relates to this because no ever ever took that path and now no one will know. He wanted to take the road not taken because it could lead him somewhere better than the road taken.
I chose this poem because I understand what the meaning of it and can relate to what he is thinking. Is college the right way to go or is trying something new going to possibly take you somewhere else and being unique. I think is very important for anyone to read because this may lead people to thinking outside the box instead of following everyone elses foot steps. I relate to this because I don't want to just go get all A's and go to a 4 year college and get a job. I want to do something interesting and fun that is a challenge, so sometimes you need to take a chance and go for the non chosen.
