ROLAND FRYER

Hi guys.You know,I have been thinking for a topic to write about.Tons of interesting topics come in my mind everyday but when I start typing,they mysteriously vanish.Maybe,I suffer from blogger's block.So,today I am going to tawk about a person who I am a great fan of,Roland Fryer,an economist.For,those of you who dont know him.He is a thirty something guy who became the youngest man teaches at t Havard university.Yes,that says something about him but why I really like him is not due to him being the youngest teacher at a world class university.Its the struggle he had to face during his life to become what he is today.Fryer was an african-american. Fryer's mother left when he was very young, and his father, who beat his son, was convicted of rape,effectively leaving Roland to fend for himself.
1998 graduate of The University of Texas at Arlington, Fryer attended college on an athletic scholarship; he graduated in two and a half years while holding down a full-time job. Fryer completed his Ph.D. in economics from Penn State in 2002. He also conducted post-doctoral work at the University of Chicago with economist Gary Becker. Over the past three years, Fryer has collaborated with several other academics, including Steven Levitt, the University of Chicago economist and author of Freakonomics, Glenn Loury, a Brown University economist, and Edward Glaeser, an urban economist at Harvard
Fryer is currently working as the principal investigator for the American Inequality Lab.(SOURCE:Wikipedia).
These are the people to look up to.I really think he is better than superhero because superheroes are giftes with superhuman powers,it is people like Fryer who, though, ordinary humans go on to conquer the world.Frankly,Fryer is one of the most important reasons I like Havard.Someday,I want to be like him.O! my wishfull thinking starts again!!But coming back to Pakistan,I know we dont have the resources to become a literate nation in a year or two.It would require decades or centuries.But at least we have people like Fryer to look up to and see him as an example of someone who came from an under-privileged background but made it big later on.One day,I would love to see someone from Pakistan to whom people look up to like Fryer
