One of the very few poems that I love and have inspired me is The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost. I first read this poem when I was in High School and it made me realized that I make my own choices no matter what people tell me. So, I started doing what I wanted and following the path that called my name. One of the many paths that I took was to be a Forensic Psychologist which I am still currently following. The reason why I wanted to become a Forensic Psychologist is because I didn't know which career path to take. I had two options law enforcement and psychology but then I learn about forensic psychology and it had the best of both worlds which I absolutely LOVED!!!!. As I did my research on the field of forensic psychology I realized soooo many GREAT and AMAZING things. One of them was Harley Quinn, the only thing that I knew about her was that she was the "girlfriend" of the joker. However, I found out that Harley Quinn was a forensic psychologist which blew my mind, figuratively speaking. I never knew nor thought that a character from a Comic book would have a job like the one I am interested in. But don't get me wrong most of the character from comic books have scientific/mathematical type of jobs which to be honest I am not great at. In all my school years I have always struggle with and to be honest SUCKED at science and math which my brother is always making fun me. Never the less, I actually went to college and received an Associate in Applied Science for Social Work and Associate in Arts for Psychology. I was always interested in my classes and very involved in them because I loved the lectures. There wasn't one class that I had to take that I hate I can actually say I love all my classes. However, due to financial issues I had to stop going to school and I started working in very different jobs which have left me in a state of lost. Since my senior year in high school I knew I wanted to become a forensic psychologist but know I don't know. I first thought that I was being overwhelmed by school work because I never really took a break from school. I always took classes during the summer which not a lot of people do. Now I think about all the options that I have and the things I am interested in like being a home decorator or flipping house. However, my heart keeps going back to forensic psychology and it gets me thinking because I really wonder why I keep going back to it. I want to go back to school and keeping studying to be a forensic psychologist. But at the same time I want to do other things because I don't want to have any regrets later. I know I will eventually get my degree in forensic psychology but for now I want to follow other path to see what I want to do for the next 30 years. Soooo many choices!!! What to do??????
Just incase you don't know this poem or if you can't remember what the poems is about I add a pic with the poem.
