Average..........................


U2....................................................Cedarwood Road


     While I loved poetry and history, I didn't feel as clever as my friends.  I started to feel stupid and, because of that, became angry.  I was afraid deep down that I was average.  I didn't realize that my whole life would be pitted against the concept that anyone is average.  "No man need be a mediocrity if he accepts himself as God made him," is how the poet Patrick Kavanagh put it.
