"Big Man on Campus"

Author James Barrie ran against a popular "big man on campus" when he was running for student body president.

Growing up in high school many people were followers.  They follow the "big man on campus" to be socially excepted in school.  Two people ran for class treasurer my senior year. One was a popular person that would be considered "big man on campus." The person was publically straight forward and said that they were only doing this to enhance their resume for college.  There was another person running that wasn't that popular but was organized and truly felt they would do a great job as treasurer.  The popular person felt that they were going to win by a landslide.  It turned out that the "big man on campus" ended up lossing to someone that might not have been the most popular but would do a great job!
