Mike Rose article “I wanna be average” was a huge
inspiration to kids who are slackers. The author of this piece has gone to
great lengths to vividly describe his friends and dysfunctional learning environment.
I can relate to this article in several ways. First, I was put in a vocational
ed track. To this day, I have no idea how I found my way there. Unlike Brother
Clint, who discovered this error, mine went completely unnoticed. I also detest
anything that has to with adding numbers. Mike Rose was blessed to have an
educator like Jack Macfarland. If this young enthusiastic educator had not intervened,
Mike probably would not have reached his full potential. The education which he
gave Mike was priceless. Not only did he give Mike a great education, he also
saw to it that he continued by getting him into Loyola University. Mike was able
to go beyond his invisible boundaries and free himself of a cycle of poverty
that plagues those who have not, nor sought education.
