Friend:

How do you feel about William Estes becoming SOTM?
I feel afraid. I feel like William is going to do crazy stuff since he's won something in a while. Last time William won an award, he began painting furiously, for over 80 hours. I'm afraid. I never enjoyed his paintings, they were too abstract anyways.

What do you think were the reasons William became SOTM?
Didn't you hear? I was shocked when he told me his GPA was instantly raised to a 4.6. William is known in the school for his strength, not his intelligence. 

Principal Robinson:

How did William become SOTM?
He was the only candidate left. During the week of judging and deciding, we found out 4 out of 5 candidates were in the hospital due to severe injuries.

What did you see in William that was SOTM material?
William is a outstanding athletic student, a smart aleck, and a confident man. He could be a leader.
 He was strong, and his GPA rose from a 2.5 to a 4.6 after he spoke to me. I personally felt threatened in his presence; he had a menacing but confident attitude, an attribute I believe we need more of in our students.
