Jalen Rose, a former basketball player, who was a part of the “Fab Five” is who I feel like belongs in the question mark box. Mr. Rose was a basketball player which is what most people know him as, but I know him from a different perspective. In my eyes Rose is seen through the perspective as a great leader. Basketball is not the reason why he is a great leader, but because of the change he made in the world in the year of 2011. Jalen Rose decided to open up a high school for students all around the community to join so that they can “Enter A Learner and Exit A Leader,” which is Rose’s sign upon entering the school building. Jalen Rose has made a great change in Detroit’s community, by providing a great high school for students who are looking to become the best. “They led with a practical civic-orientated, can-do spirit, and did big things like going to the moon,” stated Brett and Mckay. Jalen Rose started his dream with a can do spirit and have not gave up on what he felt was right for his community. A lot of people doubted Jalen Rose and his high school, but yet he did not give up. Not only did he not give up he also proved them wrong this year by having outstanding graduates of the first class of 2015, which I personally was a part of! Brett and Kate McKay states, “the Hero generation entered midlife and led society through a Fast Turning High.” I believe that Jalen Rose is leading society in a positive way, because he is trying to give back to his community. Rose is also pushing his students to work harder and push themselves more, by now making AP classes a requirement to graduate. Rose is making sure the children in his community can receive a great education and be the next men and women to lead the society to a better place. Jalen Rose has proven his masculine ways by making his dream a reality, he deserves to be in the question mark box.

Jalen Rose’s innovative idea to build a high school within the city of Detroit was not only an excellent idea, it has ultimately changed the lives/future for all of its attendees. That act alone qualifies him as a man. I can tell your incentive to select Jalen Rose as the “man in the box” was genuine because his impact has changed your life.
