First Impressions...

Friday I learned something about myself and two other people.
I learned that I am way to quick to judge people. When I see someone hang out with someone I don't like, and who doesn't like me I automatically don't like the first person. It's a sad truth, but it does happen.
Friday in my first block class I had to grade papers with a girl that I have always thought was the dumbest, ditsiest blond ever. I never had much to do with her, but I figured that since she was a cheerleader who hangs out with ditzes who go out of their way to aggravate me, she'd be just like all her friends. I was so wrong. By the end of the block we weren't necessarily friends, but I felt stupid for judging her so quickly. We talked the whole block and joked around, and when she found out I was Mormon, she brought up Savannah and Sam, and we talked about them, it was fun.
The other girl was in my Drama class. She hangs out with the 'elite' (as in the snobs) of the class, but we got partnered together on something the day before. Friday she came up to me in the halls just to say hi. It was really surprising.
I was so surprised at the end of the day at how courteous a bunch of high school students could be. It really impressed me. I had to step back and think about myself for a bit, and I realized I am one of the least courteous kids at school, kinda sad eh?
