Hi there!
I believe that
moon05 pointed out most of the things I wanted to highlight upon haha but still, there are a couple more things that i'd like to add :)
Although I am not poetic myself and usually have a difficult time processing poetry, this is one of the poems that immediately had my attention when I first saw it. It was in the seventh grade that I did, and since then I have used it as a guide to help me take decisions regarding my life.
I have to admit that I do not consider myself poetic and that I have to exert more effort to process such beautiful pieces of literature however this particular poem was one of those poems that immediately catches your attention, and it definitely caught my attention the first time I read it.-> Beforehand: I'm sorry if my revision's a tad bit too long haha
This poem allowed me to know at a young age that life was going to offer me many different paths and it would always be my choice which path I would take and where I would end up.
I really like this statement of yours!
... because if I let my fear overcome me, I would always keep wondering "what if I had done it".
... I would always be haunted by the "what if(s)" life will hand over for me to ponder uponOverall I really like this piece of yours and I wish you luck with your application!
