This reading really opened up my eyes to the inequalities in education. I realized that there are a lot of inequalities throughout education and that people who come from poor backgrounds and families are at a disadvantage, compared to those who come from rich families who go to good schools.
Mike Rose talked all about his families history and how they moved around and ended up in different states. And he also talked about the financial problems his mother and father had to endure because of the closing of the Spaghetti House that they opened. And He also talked about the bad living conditions of his house. What this all came down to about his background and being poor was how it affected his education negatively. He got rejected from UCLA and USC while others around him were getting into good colleges.
I think that this story about his background and being poor is not just his story. But a fact that a lot of people share in the USA and around the world. Its sad to see that because of someone's family financial problems there education get affected in a bad way. This shows the inequalities that people have to face in the educational system and that we are not all on the same page because some face challenges more and some have more access to resources.
