Well my life is resembling that of the poem by robert frost right now
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, |
This poem reflects me perfectly right now seeing as how i made a decision in my life that i had hoped i never would have had to make but i did. As people know i recently came into the unfortunateness of my parents getting sick of my leeching off of them, i feel the same way too that is why i was gonna move out and live on my own and out of their hair, HOWEVER they are also running into hardship and can not afford to keep helping me pay to stay in school, i had thought that they just didnt want to support me in school anymore but i recently found out that things arent so good (wish they would have just told me that) so i did everything in my power to try and find loans to pay for school and find a new job / place to live and everything has come out completly wrong.
So i am left with no other choice except the one option that seems the most rational but it was something i had hoped to never do. I have told a few people so far and the one person i wanted to tell to in person already knows, and i hope that our relationship will stay strong and beautiful through this difficult time.
So everyone, i have joined the Coast Gaurd for 4 years i will be going in to train as a FS (Food Services Specialist) so i will be cooking still, I had hoped i would never have to join any branch of the military, its not that i dont respect the men and women who serve this country, its just something that seems a little wrong for me, but i must swallow my pride so that i can better myself for the future.
I have no clue when i go away to boot camp, i go in to take tests and the physical on monday / tuesday this coming week and then i find out what available dates to go into boot camp are there.
To all my friends, thank you for all the wonderful times we have shared, it is hard to find true friends such as yourselves and i hope that we can continue our already strong relationships even after i am out of state, i will in no way break off contact and even though i will be serving i plan to get stationed in South Texas so you can gaurantee i will be driving up here to see you guys all the time = P
Well with all that i have said i must go to work now, so hope everyone has a good day ^_^
