How did the author’s voice or opinions shape your understanding of this subject?

Sophia wasn’t the picture perfect person but she wasn’t horrible. She did give really good advice about just being yourself and not allowing anybody to give you crap.

Choose a sentence or a phrase that attracts you. Explain why you chose it, its value in the book and its value to you.
“You don’t get taken seriously by asking someone to take you seriously.”
I chose this quote because when you’re not serious, no one is going to take you as being serious. They aren’t going to pay attention to you or listen to you or anything.
