[stylist] advice on using a poem quote

[Julie J.]

To all you lovely poetry peeps, I could use some advice!

I am working on my son’s graduation reception.  We homeschool so I get to customize the whole event.   He does not want a formal ceremony, but I am still presenting him with a formal diploma.  The company I am using has space for a school motto, quote or Bible verse or something similar.  Our homeschool name has been, “Pathways Academy” and I am thinking of putting the quote: 

“Two roads diverged in a wood and I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference”. by Robert Frost



I am not a poetry person.  I want to know if this would be an appropriate quote for this situation.  Or does this quote mean something different than what I think it means?  To me it means to not be afraid to go your own way, to be true to yourself even if it isn’t mainstream, to be courageous in your decisions and to move forward with your life in the knowledge that taking the nonconventional approach can be rewarding.



But Google tells me that the poem this quote is from is often misunderstood and given more weight and seriousness than is intended.



Advice?  Wisdom? other quote suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Julie
