The popular debate among smart high schoolers…!

I don’t care for either of them.

It’s in my nature to resent popularity. I’m popular among my friends and family. But I was never the kid in school that EVERYONE (Nursery thru twelfth)) knew her name.

And about “smart”? Well, I’m definitely not stupid. But here’s how dictionary.com defines smart:

Smart: having or showing quick intelligence or ready mental capability

I’m more impressed with this one:

Wise: having the power of discerning and judging properly as to what is true or right; possessing discernment, judgment, or discretion.

Lucky me, I got both! 🙂 But seriously, smarts are overrated.

(If I’d define smart differently, I’d probably attach more importance to it, though.)
