Say what you say - By Alejandro Gonzalez

True art is not a crime, and its not a waste of time, to me this is worth every dime. You will try to understand, but you will end up in a big cirlce of quick sand.

Say What You Say..

I believe that people judge too rapidly depending on what people wear. Around the world people have different ways to express themselves throughout their style of clothes they wear. Some of those people that you may perceive to be gangsters, hippies, atheist, or skaters because of their style of clothing. Then people start to judge and make assumptions before they get to know you. Many people in the world classify these people because of their clothing and I think that it’s wrong.

I was one of many people that they judged because of my attire. I was a young boy at the age of 12. I didn’t have and idea of what I wanted to be in the world. I had my own style of dressing. My parents didn’t have much to give me in respect of new clothes every week. I would go to school with my old shoes all torn up and my shirts that were too small because I was going to my growing stage and all my clothes was getting to small for me.

When I used to go to the store with my family I used to separate from my family and make the store more like an adventure. When I gazed aisle to aisle looking at food or toys I would always notice that people well dress would reach to their purse and hug it as if they thought that I would steel it or at least tried to. I always felt anger and confused because I would say to my self why they grab their purses. Why couldn’t I be treated equally?

As time went by I would ask my mom many questions. One of those questions was why people look at our clothes instead of our personality. My mother always told me “always be your self never try to be some one you can’t be no matter what”. This phrase made me realize that clothes don’t matter because as I got older I was an intelligent student but still dresses as I did when I was small. People still judged me the same but what they didn’t realize was that I was a smart kid. But inside I was smart and most of all proud of whom I was not what I was wearing.

Now as I walk down those wondrous aisles and I look at kids that dress different from me. I ask my self what great person he is going to be when he grows up. People around the world dress differently, that doesn’t mean that their bad influence in society because they don’t dress like you. Their style of clothing signifies their unique personality that no one can take away but in the end inside they are like you and me.
