The Underdog Takes the Prize

As I continue through "Bossypants" I pick up different messages through every chapter. A majority of the book talks about how she was awkward and weird throughout most of her adolescent years. I just reached the point in the book where she begins her new job for "Saturday Night Live" as a writer/ producer. I find this highly encouraging because I myself am quite awkward and strange. I like readering about her voyage from the underdog to a head producer because I relate. There's hope for the strange.

Tina the Accepting


Tina Fey is a comical genius. “Bossy Pants” is an autobiography about how she got where she is in life. She was the underdog as a kid. She was dorky and a little bit weird but that did not stop her from achieving her goals. She had a lame job at the local YMCA and worked her was up into a big office job. I enjoy this book because I think it is funny and it is fun to hear about what stars did before they were famous. She said that acceptance is very valuable. I agree. I think that if you accept people and love people for the different things they bring to the table; your life will be enriched. There is no good reason to make people feel like outcasts because they are a little bit different. Rather than isolating people, one should try to stick around them. Every person has something to teach someone else. Be accepting toward people and you would be surprised at what you find.
