A little reading but very fascinating and well constructed prose.
Don't let the heading fool you, it is far more elaborate and deep than it suggests.

Nerds are popular...just look at Bill Gates

At my school, smart people are usually ridiculed by the dumbass kids, but often looked up upon by the majority. I feel sorry for the jocks, who will not have any significance in this world after high-school. Although I would classify myself as a nerd, I do participate in athletics a lot.
