When I was a child I and my cousin watched one cartoon about treasury island which was interesting for us especially pirate captain’s mechanical eyes and hands with which he did incredible things. That time We thought having mechanical body parts like pirates’ captain was cool as I also could do incredible things like seeing far places lifting heavy objects until one event has ruined our outlook concerning this view. One day my mother took us to a hospital of disabled people as she was volunteering there as a nurse. The very day has changed our views that real body parts never can be replaced by a mechanical one. As we walked through the hospital, we saw people feeling pain while using that prostheses or parents depressed, nervous crying even they cannot afford prosthesis with their budget they were ready to do anything to provide a prosthesis for their children. We were felt handicapped and decided to help them morally. So, the next day, I and my cousin were walking in the park, after we did some physical exercises, talking about the recent football matches. After a conversation about football we talked about other different topics, which we found very interesting, particularly, he told me about an essay he has written recently about the first impression. He started talking about an essay in which he wrote that the first impression is always true. However, I strongly disagreed with my cousin, claiming the first impression is not usually correct. Nevertheless, he started arguing that he has the capacity to know people's character, interests and financial background with the first impression. Suddenly, we saw a middle-aged man, who has been my neighbour for 5 years, that was running around the lake. He was not dressed very well, wearing old-fashioned, cheap and poor quality clothes, which were the main reason for my cousin's bad first impression. I said that he should tell me about this man. He said he is not successful in life, drinks alcohol, not educated, unemployed and complains about life a lot. I was not surprised by his answer, as I had the same impression when I saw this man the first time in my neighbourhood. Actually, this man has own businesses and companies, cares about his family more than everyone else I know, prefers a healthy lifestyle and helps poor people. Then, I explained and told him about this man and wondered how he forgot about the disabled and not to conclude about their situation. Undoubtedly, he was so surprised and shy in front of me, therefore I taught him not to judge people with their clothes, appearances, and finances, yet with their inner world, upbringing and kindness. All in all, my cousin agreed with me and promised not to judge people with the first impression and teach others not to do so.
