Of course, if you read the title, you would know that I am referring to Robert Frost's The Road Not Taken. The other poem written by Frost that I truly enjoy is Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening. What both of these works of art offer me is an opportunity to reflect on the choices I have made over the years...or, wish I had made; and, the ability to see that those choices have led me to more than anything I could possibly have imagined.
If I took a notepad and started writing down all of the opportunities I believed I missed because I chose a different path, I would need a lot of notepads. You see, regardless of which road we take, we will be faced with challenges and opportunities. Unfortunately, many bemoan the 'missed' opportunities that a different road possibly could have presented and therefore, fail to see the one right in front of them. The "I should have," or "I would have," statements keep adding up and all of the time the "I did it!" statements are lost.
In less than 48 hours a new semester begins at Lansing Community College. At the doors of the campus buildings will be many first time students...of all ages! For these individuals there may be a sense of anxiousness, nervousness, and/or apprehension. Hey, we all go through it. When I meet with a returning adult student, we talk about their concerns. Fortunately, Lansing Community College has a wide assortment of services to support our students and their success. For example, our Tutoring Department offers a wide assortment of programs available to students such as weekly appointments, supplemental instruction, calculator workshops, just to name a few.
So, don't let the decision of taking the road less traveled keep you from trying something new because it might be harder. Resolve to look at it and the possible rewards it may hold for you. As Frost said, "I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference." Returning to school may appear to be the road more difficult to traverse; but, with the resources available to our students know that you will not be traveling alone.
