I think Triana should be honored as being a leader. Being a leader is a chance
that you could have if you’re not acting silly and turning the plan upside
down. Being popular is what most people want to be. They want to be part of
the cool crew and they want to like by other people. A popular kid would be
mean to the other kids that weren’t strong. They would make fun of the geeks,
nerds and losers of the school. Being the leader is an awesome chance too, so
take advantage of it.

I think being a leader is such a great thing. It doesn’t matter if you’re
popular or not, you’re a leader who does the right thing. Because other people
look up to you and then soon you get all the friends. Being popular just puts
you in the wrong. At first you get all the friends, but then sooner or
later… your friends start to realize what the leader is doing, and then the
popular people lose at their own game. So be proud id you’re a leader, fight
for the right!

I think leadership is a chance to stand up and it is important it makes you
feel known but popularity is big to some people but it really is just a
feeling of being liked.

Plus, if you make the right decision, someone else might agree with you. Maybe
even someone who had thought the same thing was afraid to open up and be
different, but your speaking up helped them to speak their mind.

I think the part about “what you’re giving up is short lived” is very true.
Dom outside of his books encourages kids not to “dumb down” just to be cool.
so don’t sacrifice something that might haunt you forever, but make the right
decision now.
