Sheryl Tan (33):
My opinion:
In this modern society, we are judged by how we look, dress and behave. Our future employers will not only be looking for grades, and certifications, but for our outward appearance.


However, is it fair, that we are judged by our looks? Well, I for one, think not. For example, I was feared in my Primary School (and for a period of time, Secondary school), because everyone thought I was scary and unfriendly. After my friends got to know me, they told me what their first impressions of me, and I was utterly shocked. I was unable to believe that I looked unapproachable and cold. Now that I think about it, I feel that my friends were wrong to judge me from my outward appearance, and once they got to know me better, they got to know the person who I am on the inside, who is much different then I might appear.


From this personal encounter, it has led me to believe that no one, regardless of gender, race or religion should be judged by their outward appearance!
