I have been praying for help in making possibly one of the biggest decisions in my life. Utah or Washington? BSN or ASN? The main question I have been wrestling in my mind is: Academic or Personal? Most of the schools in Washington are better academically for me than the schools in Utah. However, I miss Utah and would love the environment there much more than I would in Washington.
I keep reminding myself it is only 2 years of my life and I will be free to go where I'd like after. Life full of choices and surprises, which would be great but I HATE surprises. It is really frustrating because one day I will be convinced one school is the right choice and wake up the next morning completely contradicting myself. I am so grateful for my friends putting up with my indecisive-ness and especially my parents for their support and love. They believe in me and know that the world is mine for the taking.
"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,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
two roads diverged in a wood, and I --
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference. " -Robert Frost The Road Not Taken
This poem has been such a strength to me and has really put life into perspective to me. I feel a lot like the traveler, torn between the paths. I know I will be able to make the choice right for me and it will have "made all the difference".
Life, this is me taking a leap of faith, please don't let me fall!
Love Always
