“I Just Wanna Be Average”
Mike Rose

Reading this essay reminded me of all the kids out there that are not living up to their full potential. Many kids struggle in school, but they are not stupid. Their learning styles may differ from the format that their teachers utilize. Mike was not afraid of learning growing up. He was constantly learning and trying new things, yet he struggled in school and eventually ended up in vocational classes.

Mike appeared to be someone that did not care throughout his years as a student. When Mike was having trouble learning, he would tune out and ignore the curriculum in self-defeat. Mike was not stupid; he just needed help. This is what happens to a lot of kids today. They just need the proper adjustments made with their learning.
