After graduating from high school, Frost enrolled to Dartmouth College for the next several months. However, owing to the family background hardships, he chose to do odd jobs and was employed in diverse sectors over a period of ten years from the time he was enrolled at Dartmouth. He worked in a textile mill and also as a teacher of Latin at the school where his mother taught in Methuen, in Massachusetts. It was also during this period that he started his passion, poetry; and one of his early works, “My Butterfly”, was published by the New York Independent in the year 1894. Within that period, he privately printed five other poems and continued teaching Latin. He also had magazines published his works. Frost wrote poems about love, and in the year 1895, he was love struck and married Elinor White, who was his former schoolmate and together they were blessed with six children.
