Will this "discrepancy" between recs and essay hurt me?

<p>In my common app essay, a very small part of my essay (it was an example) talked about how me and a few other classmates led a class event. I didn't really emphasize the being a leader part, because I only used the example to show how I'm not afraid to be opinionated. </p>

<p>But, I just realized that in the teacher recommendations, the teachers have to rank the students on certain qualities. I am definitely not the first person you think of when you say "leadership", so I'm a little worried colleges will see this as a discrepancy. Like, I'm portraying myself as a leader, but I'm not actually. In my essay it was a very small part and, as I said before, did not emphasize the leadership part at all. </p>

<p>And the bigger concern would be a far larger discrepancy. </p>

<p>What do you mean bigger concern?</p>

<li><p>An essay written about something that happened in class is a dud. </p></li>
<li><p>It shouldn’t matter. </p></li>

<p>It wasn’t about something in class, it was just a small part. And thanks </p>

<p>OP, the way you described this, it just isn’t something to worry about. </p>

<p>Would anyone be willing to read the small part of my essay that I’m worried about?</p>
