The first impression may lead to a wrong portray of someone, I believe, cause that really happens around me. Even I, myself, did draw a completely inverse outline in my eldership’s eyes.
It was my family’s tradition to have a big dinner together on some important days, such as the New Year’s Eve. Every member of my harmonious family participated in and shared others with the recent happenings or the worries they have. I was, however, always the quietest one sitting at the corner, eating my dishes without taking notice of other’s conversation. Besides, my answers to their questions were usually in short sentences. As a result, my image in their mind was shy, strange and not willing to talk with others. They even considered me as self-imposed. But the truth is that I am a girl who is considered to be outgoing and always ready to share my life with my friends. I am enthusiastic towards my daily life and not self closing at all. Why I performed like that at the dinner was that I was totally not interested in their conversations at all. We had different lifestyles which give rise to entirely distinct topics. Nothing could be found inside me that related to their topics was the point which they create a wrong portrait of me.
The same thing happened on my portrait of one of my best friends, Michelle Ni. My first impression on her was unconcerned about others and things happen around her. She disliked making friends with others. But one thing happened turned my thoughts round. It was at 5 o’clock after school. I was sweeping the whole class by myself when I suddenly found that she was looking at me. Then she stood up from her chair, got another broom and swept the class with me together. There was a great silence in the classroom except the sound of sweeping the floor. Although nothing was said, I felt her kindness and warm character. We become friends from that.
Concerned about these things carefully, I realized that sometimes first impression means everything as well as nothing. Only the truth beneath the first impression is the key I need to find out throughout my lifetime.
