These two readings have to be my favorite because they relate so much to what I’ve been through with society and education. Mike Rose tells a great deal of how his community was not the best but was motivated to get far. How he  wanted  to be average but was far from it. He talks so much about all the teachers that even thou had their flaws were there to make a foot print in his education.  When he talks about his teacher that had a great impact on his life and how without them they would just be another part of statics. 

               In the video by Jamila Lyiscott, I kept yelling at the screen like I was there– “YOU GO GIRL!”. “Do not judge a person for speaking a different way from you” was my favorite quote by her, one of many. What really  really grabbed my attention was when she said “Broken English due to stolen history”, immigrant made generations are taken by history we don’t know about.  I live by these words because everyday we don’t our history but doors open everyday to learn and grow.
