The Path In my life, people have given me a lot of advice. Some have meant nothing to me, yet some have changed my life completely. When I was little I thought if you wanted to fit in with the crowd you should do the same as they do. Thinking that, my life wasn’t unique; I was just another piece in the game called, “life”. This all changed when my dad told me, “take the path less traveled by”. This is saying that you should not just follow the people in front of you, go down the path that only few dare to go down. Life is not about fitting in, it’s about setting yourself apart, to be noticed and remembered. Doing the same thing as every one else, will make you look like just another average guy. Yet doing something different with my life has set me apart. Coaches at my high school just want me to play one sport/ team, doing this will make me look like the average kid at my high school. All the hard work and dedication shows how devoted I am to my school. Doing all of these activities not only show how devoted I am it also has shaped my life in many ways. By taking the path where few dare to go, I have learned that hard work really does pay off in the end. Many people like my self never thought that being different is alright. Well if you’re not different then you are just a normal person, not standing out from the rest of the people in the world. Most people my age stay in side playing video games all day, well sitting cooped up in my room all day is not what I would want to do all day. I am the kind of person who needs adventure in their life. I would be outside playing, working, and building. My favorite thing to do is to take apart the engine of my dirt bike cleaning it and putting it back together. Unlike most people if I had a problem with my dirt bike I would try my self to fix the problem, not even thinking about to go to a shop to get it fixed. This has allowed me to be able to fix problems on the go, like if
