Egan's Ideas

                Sometimes you can’t go from acting like yourself to acting like a five year old in a twelve grade pre-calculus class. I do agree with Egan because I have been finding an active role that’s more as a leader than a follower. I was a mentor and a lead mentor two years in a row and I have realized I like to help out people with school work. I also want those students to see me as a leader more than a follower. Sycamore gives me some opportunities that allow me to follow Egan’s ideas. Also, it depends on the classes you take. For example, in my anatomy class I have to follow the exact rules of the teacher and none of my teachers’ rules let me follow Egan’s ideas. But in my senior capstone class, I can grow into Egan’s ideas because I have the right to be who I am and act a superior character. The ideas of independence, behavior and interest are ideas that cannot be used by one when they choose. Those ideas cannot be forced in school and other places because they can get you in trouble. It’s all about the social norm.
