This appears to be an assignment in which an instructor is asking you to connect your own experiences to the poem.

In the poem, we have a narrator who arrives at a fork in the road while he is walking. He has a choice of two paths to follow. They appear relatively similar, but one seems slightly more neglected and overgrown, and he chooses that one. He reflects that he can always explore the other route later, but then he corrects himself with the realization that he is not likely to return and do so. This situation acts as a metaphor for life choices.
As you work on your assignment, you could think of similar life choices you have made. For example, you probably applied to several colleges and then chose one rather than another. Although in theory you could transfer to another school, you would lose credit hours and probably won't do so. This choice will affect many aspects of your future.
You could also talk about choosing careers, whether you decided to follow a conventional major such as business or something more unusual such as game studies or performance art. You could then reflect upon your decision-making process and your decisions.
