        “…Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
                 I took the one less traveled by,
            And that has made all the difference.”


     This quote, from the conclusion of Robert Frost’s poem, The Road Not Taken, sheds a light on the reality of my experience here at Christiana Homeschool Academy.  CHA has assisted in showing me the diverged roads and has helped tutor me in how to choose the road I ought to take.  This road of CHA is the one I have walked, and it was the one less traveled by.  But the company, my peers, have taught me almost half of what I have learned here.  Also, I have been guided to a deeper realization of how the roads we choose make all the difference.


     Ask me a question and I will help you find the answer. Give me an answer and I will ask you a question.  This is the form of education I have received here at Christiana.  That is not to say we are a bunch of skeptics, but that we know that the nature of truth is to be found if its searched for with persistence and the correct questions.  CHA has not taught me what to look at, but how to search.  How?  With a question.  Why?  So that I may walk the road of Truth with those who search for it.


     Shakespeare wrote the words, “We few, we happy few, we band of brothers.”  He wrote these words for the mouth of Henry V, yet I speak them today.  I speak them because I have walked the road less traveled by and have come to the end of it with the closest friends I have ever had.  We have fought and laughed together.  We have edified each other through our Great Books program and outside of the classroom in conversation.  We have sought the truth together regardless of our differing beliefs and opinions.  Because of our differences, each of us had something educational to bring to our conversations.  I am leaving them with a smile on my face and gratitude in my heart because I know people will ask me what kind of friends I had in high school.  I will be able to tell them I had the best kind of friends, real ones that helped me along the road.
At last, I come to the end of this road which has had its own twists and turns, and that has made all the difference.  Mrs. Jernigan asked me to choose a few of my choices that I made during my time here at CHA to share with you, but how can I?  The road of life is full of choices, and each turn we take determines our destination.  All our choices have put us where we are, and all our choices will take us where we will end up.  For the journey isn’t the destination, but every step we take to get there.  The destination I have reached is graduation, and all I can honestly say is,  


                                  “…Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
                                           I took the one less traveled by,
                                      And that has made all the difference.”
                                                           Thank you!
