A quote that I have absolutely been so fond of is “In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on”, said by Robert Frost. Those three words are so meaningful and true.  Some people tend to dwell on certain matters and act as if their life was over. A perfect example of this would be high school girls. Many believe high school is the place to be popular and fit in and just be known.  However, life continues and whether or not you fit in during high school; will not matter when you are 30 and have a job.
In high school, most people are trying to figure out who they are; whether they are the jock, cheerleader, nerd, or just another fish thrown into the big pond. Adjusting into the high school life can be filled with rejection and anguish. Nevertheless, the students will learn that life goes on and high school was just another memory that will be brought up at reunions.
This quote can pertain to most circumstances, whether it is failing a class or getting into an argument with someone. Each situation is hard to handle, but can be overcome. I believe being able to conquer a challenging incident makes you a stronger person every time. When you fail at something, you learn from the mistakes you made and hopefully improve. As much as you do not want to continue; prove to those people that you can take those encounters and come out successful.
Because life is so short, there is no time to stop on the insignificant things.  Continue on and live life to the fullest. If you do not try your hardest, it can only end in grief.  Regrets in life are the toughest to live with because; you only had that one chance to do it.  Frost’s quote has several different interpretations. Take it as you may, but my understanding is that to remain on something that makes me delay my life from continuing on is not worth it.

  1. Life truly does go on, especially because we are only in high school. This quote is something many teenaagers needto except. Most teenagers get hung up on the wrong they have done or the wrong someone has done to them, but what the point in holding on to that? I like this quote and your response because its all true and especially because easy to relate to. Good job Grace!

  2. I couldn’t have said it better myself. The quote you chose said it perfectly. While some people might stress about minor things that don’t even matter life does go on. Whether we like it or not the clock never stops. I liked how you described it by using “high school girls” as an example that is really funny, and so true.
