Robert Frost was born on March 26, 1874, in San Francisco. He got married and had four children. He wanted to write poetry, but also needed money for support to his family. His grandfather agreed to buy him a farm if Frost would do work on the farm for about ten years. He eventually sold the farm and moved the family to a farmhouse in England. He took twenty to thirty poems to a publisher in London. The publisher accepted the poems and published them as a book. The Frost Family returned to New England after a year (Frost 1).

Frost's first poem was "My Butterfly" which was published. Frost's work was centered on the life of the land he loved. Frost's use of human fears is what brought his words to life. The students adored him and his work will influence readers for many years and help them to learn(Lane 2).

He was enrolled at Dartmouth College and later in Harvard, but he never earned a formal degree. "Frost drifted through a string of jobs after leaving school, work as a teacher and editor of the 'Lawrence Sentinel'". Frost loved to work with kids and he was an inspiration to them. We would not have great poets or poetry to read today and how we could be inspired to do so (Frost 1).

Robert Frost was educated and well taught to teach all his readers to learn life lessons and just to read more. He could use his kind words and voice to let us all know why he choose to do what he did. If Robert was still alive, we would have more people of inspiration and kindness. Kids today needs help understanding to read more and learn how to be a nice fellow like Robert Frost.

Robert Frost had a very good life while writing poetry and teaching while he had worked up to his dreams. Frost dreamed and lived it while meeting people and becoming famous in the world. Robert Frost died on January 29, 1963 and was a good person and lived life to the fullest.
