12. Dan’s Triangle
Dan enjoys sports. He’s on the swim team and the track team. When he’s not at practice or competing, he likes to read sports magazines. He never seems to have enough time for his family and friends and is often too tired to do his homework. His grades are low, and he’s worried he’ll have to repeat a year.

13. Zoe’s Triangle
Zoe is determined to get good grades-perhaps too determined. She studies hard most evenings and often spends time in the library on weekends. She takes little time out to see her friends. Lately, it seems, she doesn’t have any friends. She sometimes goes hiking with her family, but she gets no other exercise.

14. Kim’s Triangle
Kim is one of the most popular girls in her class. She’s always arranging sleepovers and spends hours on the phone talking with her friends. She likes getting all the attention but notices that she’s often tired and grumpy. She always has to rely on last minute studying before a test.
