A DILEMMA

I read Robert Frost's " THE ROAD NOT TAKEN." This is like a Chinese proverb that says, DON'T STRADDLE ON TWO BOATS. This is the dilemma of human life. People straddling two boats want the best of both worlds.

When I lived in my homeland, I never dreamed of living in another country because I was contents living with my family even though my income was sometimes uncertain ( Boat I ) Then I was offered a chance to better my income in the U.S. If I left my home, I didn't know if I could get a good paying job. ( Boat 2 ), I faced the two roads. Dilemma; Should I stay or should I go? I didn't want to leave. I hesitated in completing my immigrant document from the U.S. embassy. At the last minute I decided to go.

During the first year I settled in the U.S., I saw that everything was different from what I thought. I realized that I had more opportunities to make friends from many other countries. I'm happy with the road I chose.
