Dear Mrs. Mango,

I wanted to run for a class office, but I didn’t.  I didn’t think I would stand a chance beacuse I’m not very popular.  Do you have any advice for me?

-Signed, Unpopular in Ada-

Dear Unpopular,

It sounds like you are letting fear of disappointment hold you back.  Sometimes you just have to go for things you want.  If you want to run then you have to realize that you have to become friends with a lot of people.  This may mean stepping out of your comfort zone, but that never hurt anyone.  I would just go for it next time.

Yours truly,

Mrs. Mango
