In "The Road Not Taken," did Robert Frost choose the easy, more commonly traveled road or the more difficult road with less wear?

In "The Road Not Taken," I believe the speaker of the poem
took the more difficult road. He took the road less traveled by. This means he took the
road with less people; therefore, his journey had to be more lonely. He took the road
that the majority of people avoid.

In the road less traveld
by, there would be more bumps in the road and more brush and undergrowth. There would be
more obstacles as far as trees and nature's natural
growth.

In my classes, I teach my students that the speaker
took the less traveled road. This meant he took the road which requires much more
studying. The majority took the road I call the "party" road. Students can choose the
"party" road and end up without a degree. It is easy to hang out with friends and party
and have a good time. It is more difficult to choose isolation that comes with hours of
studying.

Truly, the less traveled road requires commitment
to the journey of life called endurance. The road that requires great commitment is
often a lonely road. No one likes to commit and persevere through hard work and
sacrifice.

I imagine the speaker of the less traveled road
felt the pains of loneliness and isolation. In the end, it will be worth all the
loneliness and hours of perseverance. In the end, it made all the difference for the
speaker, as it will for anyone who chooses the tougher
road:

Two
roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled
by,
And that has made all the
difference.
