The Road Not Taken

The speaker in Frost’s poem “The Road Not Taken” is a conflicted person, who does not tell anything about himself. However, the readers of this poem know that he is undergoing a big decision, that he has chosen a single path according to which he is directing his life, and this splits into two options ahead.

Robert Frost. Falling leaves and yellow woods are metaphors for the speaker’s life. The Road Not Taken, showing the downfall of his life. At this stage of life, it is not possible to return and make a new decision, because he knows the time is gone.  The speaker is impulsive and adventurous, the reason that he has chosen the less traveled path. He is feeling a little regret, while his tone is also a bit sad.

The poem “The Road Not Taken” defines human beings as having choices in life to make a difference in the world. The poet presents this main idea through his own choice of a road less traveled.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.

The context is of “a yellow wood” where the poet feels sorry that there are two roads and he has a choice to travel on one of them. The reason is he is a single person and not a double. Therefore, he needs to travel only once after looking at one of them that it is less traveled and that it shows undergrowth which means very few people have traveled through it. The stanza contributes to the main idea of choice in one’s life by presenting two roads, their contexts, and situations.

The poem, having a perfect rhyme scheme, ‘ABAAB’ is an ambiguous poem that allows the readers to think about choices they make in life.The poem comprises uncertainty and perplexing situation of the minds of people about what they may face when standing on the verge of making choices. It is because life is full of choices, and the choices we make, define the whole course of our lives. 

The expression of doubt runs in the poem from the first line until the last. The expression of uncertainty about choices and our natural tendency to surmise about consequences we may have to face marks the central point of the poem. However, what stays in the mind of the people is the philosophy of life and the dilemma of making choices.

There are many metaphors in the poem, like road, fork in the road and yellowwood. The road in the poem is the metaphor for life, while the fork on the road metaphorically represents the choices we make to determine the course of our lives.There is one simile used in the second stanza as “as just as fair”. It shows how the poet has linked the road less taken to the easy way through life.

The Unforgettable life of me Task -4

My entire life began to fall apart, leaving me all by myself and powerless. The toughest thing I've ever done was coming out to my devout, traditional mother and strict father. In actuality, no single phrase could adequately express how I was feeling. I was a numb and empty person yet so full of overthinking, emotions, and regrets.

I never gave where my life was headed any thought. I've always thought that life takes me where I want to go; I've never imagined that I drive myself anywhere. I changed my way of thinking when I started high school. I decided to attend college for this reason. I think that college will provide me with the keys to open the doors.

   

    I know this is what I want to do with my life. I want to be a positive influence in the lives of children. I want to be able to stand up and show the children that it is okay to be yourself and stand up for what you believe in. I am a well round student. For nine years I was actively involved in a girls organization.This experience taught me many things.

      

   When I thought about my future and where I 'll be going, I thought I would be attending a university like all of my friends in high-school. I never thought I would be attending a community college. I really hated the idea of community college. I thought it was for people who had low ACT score or people who didn 't really try as hard as others in school.Also family bring something different to each of us.I look at family as those who care about you the most and want to see you grow and flourish. Helpfulness, respect, health, integrity and cooperation are my core values; my family understands my values and I understand their values.

  Getting into the swing of becoming an adult may seem like the end of the world. It’s stressful, confusing, scary, and overall very difficult. For at least. You think that it might be the end of the world for you, but nothing is worse than losing yourself in the process of all of that. You feel lost and frustrated because you don’t know who you are and what you want to do.

    School since it will be started when I'm a freshman and having a friend who influence me to do something.I had to be like their role model, being responsible and attentive. It was difficult taking care of them at times, since they don’t get along well, but I managed.

   Despite what life puts my way I know that I will succeed because I have strong morals and values. I want to be a person who others respect and trust, but I know I have to work hard to earn that.

  There are responsibilities that need to be fulfilled and someone is looking up to you for guidance in this life. I knew right there and then, that things are about to change and I have to take life seriously. In life there are people you love and get along with and there are people you just don’t get alone with and you choose to not be around. Most people are more likely to keep the positive people and learn positive messages from them. But you learn to stay away from the negative people and you learn to be positive from things they did wrong.

   There are times that I wanted to forget about anything and do what I feel at that particular time. I was debating either if I take the job or just walk away. That time I was nervous and scared because I don’t have any experience being in the field.I’ve always been caring and kind to others, and I’ve always thought about wanting to help people for the rest of my life. 

   

  I changed that way that I think in several different ways, including changing how shy that I was and how I wasn’t looking people in the eyes when I talked to them. I also changed the way that the atmosphere was around me, by working hard in my life, and figuring out who my real friends were. I knew that I couldn’t be a kind and caring person and be around those kind of people.

   It was during high school years, I didn’t take education or study seriously. Mornings and nights were filled with blessings from my parent’s prayer upon me each and every day. Still, too much peer pressure and the eagerness to fit into society. All I was thinking about is to graduate and moving on with life.Unfortunately, the biggest downfall that changed everything and shaped me to be a better person than before. I was able to pick myself up, continue my journey and create a new path for the sake of my little one.Looking back, I realize that it would have been in my best interest to allow my friends and family to help me through rough patches with my dad, but I am thankful for how I handled each different situation because they allowed me to grow into the person that I am today.

A day in the life of 'Me' Task 1

      My entire life had led up to this very moment, one that I had over thought too much differently in my mind. I knew that it was this day that I would forever step out of the dark, lonely closet and accept myself for who I am. I promised that I would never deny myself the right to live life as my true self ever again as I started to be independent. However, this life leap into freedom wasn’t so relieving as I had thought it would be. My world started to crumble around me, leaving me helpless, hopeless and alone. Coming out to my religious, conservative mother and strict father was the hardest thing I have ever done.

    This day, thought to be more independent than to be spoiled. Sooner it  turned into one of the worst days of my life. I thought that I was going to have this jolt of energy or some huge boulder would be lifted off my back; however, my imagination, overthink and reality were in complete disagreement. As my mom and I show more content

I never imagined a day where my mom wouldn’t love me back. 

    She taught me how to stay afloat, even when life was dragging me down. In this moment, I figured that I had reached my capacity for happiness; I thought that this was God telling me that I had my lifetime of joy in only seventeen years. It was then that I decided I deserved to live either in complete sorrow and agony, punishing myself for the pain I caused to others or not at all.But were nothing compared to the gaping hole in my heart. I was completely and utterly broken.

    In reality, no one word could describe how I was feeling; I was a numb and empty human yet so full of overthink,emotions and regrets. As I lay in my room I contemplated life and death. I thought how it would be so easy to hold my breath away, to drift off into nothingness. This crushed me, I felt alone and scared, and wished with all my heart that it was all a dream. Months later, My Grandfather house was burned in the same week of my aunt birthday. 

 

   A few years ago I had suddenly become epileptic and had hit the ground having a seizer in the process of falling I had hit my head and got a concussion and was in and out of the hospital trying to figure out what was wrong with me. During this time, having so many people pass in such little time brought all of those feelings of pain, and heartache back and so did the depression. I struggled to keep it together, but when things got bad my parents did what they thought was right for me more medication, and more therapy. 

   All this death made me really learn to open up to people. Pushing my feet under and I suddenly have this overwhelming feeling of adrenaline and I am suddenly afraid for my life then I realize I have suddenly been faced with my ultimate fear. Although I may not consider myself a shy person, I was never the type to step out of my comfort zone. My freshman year of High School I had my mind set thinking that I was going to be the type of student who woke up for school, left, and then came back home once it was time to.

    I never thought I was ever going to join a sport/clubs, go to school games etc. At that moment it never seemed like my thing. At first I wanted to be  free and feel the life of being here and do whatever I want in this world. But suddenly I've thought that I don't have enough money to spoil myself . And it's so hard to find a job when you don't have any experience.So I decided to find a job as a part-timer since I'm still a high school student , and I can truly say the last year and a half since I’ve been in I have learned so many life lessons.

Through these life lessons I have learned a lot about myself and how strong I can be in difficult situations and circumstances. I never thought in a million years I would finish my studies and become successful in the near future but it has shown me that everything happens for a reason.

ICE CREAM

Ice cream contains protein and fat, both of which our bodies need to help level our moods.Ice Cream is good during every season. And I also eat ice cream when someone have a birthday party and they have  ice cream for dessert. Ice cream is a great dessert and I love it so much especially the chocolate flavor. There some flavor of ice cream the vanilla and I also like it because ice cream is a frozen dessert, typically made from milk or cream and flavoured with a sweetener, either sugar or an alternative, and a spice, such as cocoa or vanilla, or with fruit such as strawberries.

COFFEE

 

Yes I'd enjoy choosing coffee product it because I love drinking coffee.We believe in the power of food to enhance quality of life.Poor consumer confidence, uncertainty and pessimism in new startups, new cafes and new coffee shops are not only valid but also fueled by the media and competitor marketing. Established coffee shops can take away or limit our potential customer given their goodwill and customer rapport. Yes I would because all I want is to share the lovely smell of different coffee and I would invites people to drink coffee and also helps them set their mood for the day. The second is the taste. 

First Year High School Experience

 Still remembering my first day experience being a high school student. I tried to stand up, but I just fell back into my bed saying I can do this. I finally got up and walked to the bathroom to brush my teeth. After that I looked in the mirror and my hair is in a rat's mess, then I go back in my room grab my brush and make sure my hair is perfectly srate. 

 I remember looking to the left and right of everyone seemed to be enjoying the first day of school. School I didn’t know what to feel like, would I say frightened, worried, or energized. For this reason I decided that I felt confused. I was a bit stressed at the thought of getting bad grades. I entered school and saw what looked like a behave of people going where they needed to go.

So like many freshmen on their first day I got lost looking for my first class, it was such a big school and many of the halls weren’t even in alphabetical order. I wound up asking one of the neighbor I know and they told me that it was “over there”. I didn’t understand because they didn’t point in any direction, I started walking around the corner and saw the same neighbor I know again, I asked him again and this time he guide me the right way.

   I remember walking around trying to find something to do as I wait impatiently for school to start. Trying to find something, I can go and chill. I walk over to the school campus, taking a look around me I see our school colors, which are blue and green.

Go Green for Tommorow

                       

So good day. I'm here to share my experience and thoughts about hiking activity in Tuyawan Eco-Park. So in Tuyawan Eco-Park I would say it's was have a beautiful scenery and fresh air because it surrounded by trees and beside that  the purpose why we're there is to do our Relational Activity, Planting tree and to work our Team Building.The place is located in Brgy Magsaysay Nabunturan,Davao de Oro and the Hiking Activity was conducted on May 3 2023.

  The learning outcome for this activity is to know how important being physically active and having a lot of patience with the surrounding is,and also i learned from this activity cooperation is better than being alone. And  I expect this activity will help me to boost my confidence in other people. And if you ask me how this activity supports the curriculum. I would say it will help us to learn proper Etiquette during hiking and being aware by surrounding asides from that  I would say it gives us a lesson.

   Tree Planting Activity with the theme GO GREEN FOR TOMORROW at Tuyawan Eco Aqua-Park,Brgy. Magsaysay, Nabunturan. Before we reach our destinations  you need to walk 1000 steps.And way back to school the NERT provides us transportation so it was easy for us to get back to the school. It's Wednesday in morning 5:00 am to 11:00 am.

   During our hiking I observed there's a lot of Davao de Oro Police Provincial Office (DDOPPO) to guide us , especially they join  while we're walking in the street and give us protection for harmful accident.and I also observed after the arrival in Eco Agua-Park  the police was so nice to us.i thought police was serious and have a strict personality but them was not she/ he was nice too all of us .So the information I learned to police officers is they do their job to protect us from harmful accident, and I can say it's better to listen the instructions they provide to us before we proceed to our destinations.

    The challenge that I face during hiking is my foot it's hurting, but I  ignored it because I can manage to walk, so that's why I'm not informing the sir  who is assigned to our section. And guess what the other challenge's impacted to the  others learner's is they distracted by the activity happening because the hiking activity was conducted during class,And also during our Team Building ma'am Louelyn announcing that we will leave to early and we don't know what's happening ,Then after the announcing we continue our Team Building activity while waiting for the service, because our section was third batch for the transportation back to NNCHS . True to this challenge, I observed   that maybe it will be okay for us to go back to school and continue our activities in the oval so it will be safe for all of us.

     So  in this case my recommendation for hiking activity is that it should be conducted  with no class so other learner's and teacher's won't be distracted during activity. And  also the improvements that I want to promote in the next Hiking Activity is I hope we have more exercise during hiking so our muscle didn't force if we conduct long distance hiking activity, since all of us was experience this kind of activity we  well hoping that the next generation learner's continue this kind activity.
