swag or smarts

Swag or Smarts? This is our recent topic for writing class.  Today we went in and he asked....."Would you rather be smart or have swag?"  Then he told us to write a esssay.                          I believe that I would want to be smart than have swag..  I would want this because I think its much better to know that you are at least a little intelligent than to be overconfident and just think that you're cool.  Smarts can help you in many situations.  Take being kidnapped for an example.  Being smart and counting your time would most likely help you in that situation.  If you had swag and you were overconfident, who knows how you might end up?  You could have chosen to hit the man and could've been killed in the process!                 Also, smarts will help you get past all of your education.  Swag will not help you, only to help you make friends like yourself.  Even if you have a lot of friends, they can't all hold you up forever.  Smarts will lead you through elementary, middle, high school, and college.  Getting in a good college will probably ensure a good job.  Later, you'll be set for life! That's why I think i would rather have smarts than swag.  Smarts will help you achieve what you want in the end.
