Cookie Thief

Each day, many people are faced with different personalities. Each class I take consists of many students whose strengths and weaknesses differ. On the first day of school everyone tends to judge too quickly. They don't take a chance to get to know maybe someone who is quieter, or the person sitting in the back of the room. The only way to get past our judgemental selves, is to come into class with an open mind. A really good example for us seniors, is finding a roommate for college. Many of us have joined the college groups on facebook, or have taken surveys to pair us up with each other. I can admit that I have been some what judgemental when it comes to finding the right one. Just because they look a certain way, doesn't necessarily mean that they wont have the same interests as you. In the past I have been quick to judge. In Charon's story, many people have been known to generalize, stating that only rich people vote republican. But, that is not the case at all. In reality, people need to start to let down their judgements about people and enter any situation with an open mind.

  1. I agree with the fact that we often generalize people a lot. I know that I have taken one of those college surveys because I am scared to have a random roommate. The college roommate, therefore, is a really good example. We do need to have a beginners mind when we go into something such as college.
