I Just Wanna be Average

I just wanna be average by Micheal Rose is an wonderful essay. I read about his school experience which was not good enough to make him rise above in life, and I don't like to learn about the way that teachers adopted to teach and handle students.

I am impressed to see the diference in his personality and changes in life. He was not a very hardwoking student and was not interested in studying as he says,"I fooled around in class and read my books indifferently... I did what I had to do to get by, and I did it with half a mind." but I won't blame him for that situation because the behaviors of people around us influence our behavior and sometimes that really hurt and naturally we become careless . But he made himself rise by his own struggle as he has published books and teaching English in UCLA. He has achieved a high status in life which is not so easy.He rose above from a low to high position and he is a self made person. This makes me believe that," where there is a will there is a way."

This essay really tells us that it is not impossible to get high status in life. we should keep confidence in Almighty God and should try hard to get success, We should remember that we can't be perfectionists but we can try and leave the result on God. If we don't become successful in anything then we should think that may be that would not better for us.
