My Fav Essay

Between all three essays that I’ve read by Benjamin Franklin, Malcolm X and Mike Rose I seem to be stuck deciding my favorite between Rose and Malcolm X. Benjamin Franklin’s essay seemed to be drawn out and I constantly felt myself having to reread his sentence to try and figure out his point. When it comes to Mike Rose’s paper I felt as though I could definitely relate to his experience in having shitty teachers when growing up. It seems as though, not many people are keen on wanting to become teachers. Many of my classes in high school were taught by PE teachers. Who ever thought that a PE teacher was a prime teacher to have teaching World History was vastly wrong. Having so many dysfunctional teachers growing up, is the main reason I am in school now to become a teacher. Mike Rose’s thoughts on disoriented schooling hits home with me a lot.  However, when it came to Malcolm X’s paper, I felt as though an awaking was happening inside me to want me to pursue my own goals I’ve put on the back burner. Malcolm X shows how going after what he wants changes his life completely. His excitement seems to encourage me to not just live life. But to go for things that I never thought could happen.
