I Just Wanna Be Average

What's really the point in this essay. The entire piece of writing is just a bunch of memories that I really did not care about. This is by far the most boring article that I've read in this class. I really didn't get any connection with the title, because it sort of misleading. It felt like he was an average person, so why would he want to be average, if he already is. I'm a little confused by this essay, and hopefully the class and professor Degenaro can shed some light.
