I’m thinking about the forces that push and pull on average. Average is that midpoint between high achievement and failure. High school graduation was last night and I’m wondering if the desire to achieve at school pulls the average up or does average have a gravitational pull on the achievers. And what effect is created by those who simply don’t care? The brainiacs, preppies, geeks, jocks, skaters, thespians, goths, and emos all have an effect on each other—even when they try to ignore or ridicule the others.
