First Day Opinions
The first day of school, jitters falling from my head to my stomach
Walking through the doors I haven't seen in months
Seeing new people walk by I have never seen before
Wondering what sports they played or what subjects they liked best
As I walked through the halls I grew jealous of all of the new kids
Since I was at this school for 8th grade seeing all of these new people was intimating
I started judging people before I met them
Wondering why his hair was that color, and if he was really that good at football.
Later that day I was thinking what do these people think of me
Do they think I am just this lacrosse jock, who only cares about himself?
The longer I thought about it I realized that this was my first year of high school
And I need to make a good impression on others
I started talking to new people and making new friends
Some that would become my best friends
And the people I look up to
The moral of the story is to not prejudge people
Just because you are jealous of people and their popularity
doesn't mean you have to be mean to them
You should get to know them and then judge them off of that
Don’t make impressions off looks
Read the book, then look at the cover.

I made this piece in class and really liked it. It is about myself prejudging people in one specific scenario, the first day of school.
