A poem that speaks to me is “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost. It teaches an important lesson about taking risks and making decisions. I like that it sends the message that taking the unpopular route or the uncertain route will pay off in the end. It is scary to pursue something without knowing the outcome and to risk failure, but this poem teaches that everyone has to go through these steps in order to become successful since you will never learn anything by playing it safe. I think this is an important lesson, especially for seniors, because we will all face these dilemmas in college. There will be so many tough decisions, such as picking a major or a career. Even deciding on a college required a lot of thought and introspection. We will encounter even bigger predicaments later in life and the two roads will come up over and over again. However, I think this poem is perfect for right now, when we are about to graduate high school.
