Judgmental
Someone once said “That people should not judge a book by its cover!” Many times I have looked at people or things and judged them before actually taking time out to sit down and analyzing them. I know that I should not do that, but it always seems to happen. Even though, I judge my car and my friends they turn out to be more than I expected!
When I first got my car my dad came home one afternoon, he said “Kiara I have a surprise for you outside”; I was so excited because I had wanted a car. When I walked outside there was a 1995 Pontiac Gran Am, as I was walked toward the car I realize that it was my sister old car. Then I begin to think that it was a prank because this just couldn’t be true. I accepted the keys to the car, thinking that this was still a joke, but time past and I finally realize that this was real. I hated the fact that I was going to have to drive my sister old car to college. As time start to past I begin to cherish my car. I started thinking that maybe this car was meant for me because it was purple outside and dashboard lit up orange. This car resemble me because I’m old spirited and purple and orange were my favorite colors. I cherish my car even more now because it takes me from point A to point B.
The day I met my best friend I didn’t like her because I felt that she thought she was the center of the world. I would not speak to her if I seen her around or whenever she looked my way in class. Finally I decided to fight my ego and speak to the girl. When I begin talking to her, I felt that she didn’t talk to many people, so we begin talking to each other only a daily basis. She had so much in common with me and as time went on we grew closer and built a close relationship.
Another person that I have come to admire is my significant other. When I first met him he didn’t seem like my type. He was outgoing and loud. I asked him one day why he was so loud he reply that he was trying to get my attention. From that day forward we started talking to each other. It started off slow because he was slightly different from me. He seem to do everything perfect at least to me. When we officially started to date he put away some of his old hobbies so our relationship could begin on a new foundation. Know that we are still together I’m glad I didn’t choose to ignore him.
I have learned when I’m quick to judge people and things that I might just have miss out on something good. So now I just speak to everyone and don’t complain about the little things because they were put in my life for a reason. We live and learned from all of our mistakes.

You seemed to have been very aware of your audience. The examples you used were not too personal so they were very easy for me to relate to. I think that just about anyone could relate to these examples as well. I also like how you established your generalization very early on.
ReplyDeleteThe examples that you used, to me, were good ones. They were things that almost everyone has probably experienced. I think you did stay on topic pretty well and didn't really stray away on anything. You also did a good job of explaining your examples and giving detail about them and not just stating them.
