Robert Frost was born on March 26 th, 1874. Frost was the son of William Prescott and Isabelle Moodie. His parents named him after the confederate general, Robert E. Lee. (Encyclopedia of World Bio) Robert Frost began kindergarten in 1879; unfortunately he was struck with stomach pains on the first day and never returned. He was then home schooled by his mother, whom was a teacher.
Before his schooling was over he had been accepted to Lawrence High School, and finished at the head of his class. Frosts first job was teaching however he is best known for his writing, and his life’s tragedies. (American Decades) In 1912 Frost moved to England, and started writing full time. Within months he had written his first book, A Boy’s Will, which was accepted for publication. (Contemporary Authors) I think Robert Frost is a master student because he liked school and strive d for what he believed in, he accomplished goals he set despite tragic episodes in his life, and he became an inspiring author. Robert Frost strove for what he believed in which was becoming a successful writer.
He had written his first published poem before he finished high school. He published a few more pieces, and then he graduated with Valedictory honors. He moved on to Dartmouth College. After leaving he was accepted to Harvard and was awarded the Sewall Scholarship for Academic Excellence. Frosts publishing went world wide and had people envying him everywhere in the world he went. Robert Frost was also a master student because despite all the tragic times he was faced with he still dug deep to become one of the best writers of all time.
School Time Wanted Home
The day was coming, my feelings were getting nervous, scared, more like terrified. Mixed feelings were coming alive in me when I thought about going to school also how I felt about experiencing a new and different life. At the age of twelve my life was shifted. First day of school came walking onto the campus it was a whole different feeling than what I was used to. New and different faces turned ...
Some of the tragedies he went through were, the death of his first son Elliot to cholera. His daughter Marjorie was sickened to perpetual fever. Two years after this incident his wife Elinor died of heart failure. Despite all of these tragedies Frost surrounded Himself with loving colleagues and continued to write successfully. As an author Frost has inspired many.
He had began delivering speeches, talks, and lectures. Frost did not only inspire those he lectured to, but he was inspired by the audience and fans to write more. Some of his best work was said to have happened after the start of his public speeches. In conclusion I believe Robert Frost to be a master student mainly for the inspiration he’s given. All the tragedies he’s faced would have broken a normal man down.
Which shows the dedication and love Frost had for his writing. Sadly Frosts writing and life came to an end in 1962 on the day of January 29 th. There is so much more to be learned about the man and the legend, much more than I’ve written in these few words. The hardships and fall backs this man went through, definitely makes him a master student.
