If I were Harrison in exactly the same situation, I would have chosen to save other people. Since Harrison has to be smarter than the rest of the people in the story because of the insane number of handicaps he wears, I think I would have spent time prior to escaping finding a way to free other people of their handicaps and overtaking the government, especially the Handicapper General, Diana Moon Glampers. 
Instead of going on national television to find an empress, I would have escaped underground and found others to help me or I would have found a way to get the weapons/fighters/etceteras to help me actually overthrow the government. I would have tried to find ways to help people celebrate their unique talents while also finding a way to make sure that people aren't discriminated against so that society could be fair to all people and still rich with culture and art and things of beauty.

As the story is told, Harrison and the empress were killed by Glampers, and because of the handicaps, nobody even knows it happened, not even his parents...and it happens on live television! There is no way a revolution could be started if there aren't people to keep the fight going. It makes a lot more sense to overthrow the government first and then find someone to dance with.

For me personally, I would want to use my talents to help other people, and, since the story seems to want the reader to think about how important individuality is, I think I would want my story to be one that embraced my talents and strengths in a way that would really help other people.

Write a diary entry to tell how you feel about arguments.

Dear diary,

My parents started fighting and it really made me feel very uncomfortable. I started bursting into tears! I had no one to talk to about it! After I started to calm down a like bit I decided to write how I feel about arguments. It went something like this.
The second reason that we often say the wrong thing is because our first instincts are usually off. In fact, it’s often the words we lead with that get us into so much trouble. “That’s because too often we end up framing the issue as who’s right or who’s wrong,”Instead of trying to understand what’s really happening in a disagreement, we advocate for our position. I’m sitting on my bed writing this, I have to stop writing because I have school tomorrow. I hope tomorrow will be a better day.
