Prejudice People.

I had to write a paper for my Honors English I class and I thought I'd share ...

            According to dictionary.com prejudice is ‘an unfavorable opinion or feeling formed beforehand or without knowledge, thought, or reason’. I’d love to add onto that definition that everyone is prejudice and everyone will constantly become prey to prejudice people. Personally, I’m sick of prejudice people. If someone doesn’t like how I look or act without getting to know me then, they’re not worth my time. They won’t get to know me or learn anything about me that could turn their prejudice thoughts all around. That’s what I consider this essay. A way to turn any prejudice thoughts any reader has into hopefully positive thoughts.
           First of all, you should know of my love for hair and make-up. I spend hours getting ready just because I think its fun to try and look better or different than the other thousand kids I spend eight hours with. Now, my love for hair and make-up isn’t just for vanity’s sake; it’s where I see myself in five to ten years. I want to be either in cosmetology school or a licensed hair stylist and make-up artist with my own salon at that point in my future. I consider art my ‘calling’ but I plan to capture it on people instead of your traditional canvas.
          My other loves include music, friends, photography, writing, and animals. I’ve been a strict vegetarian for the past four years and I plan on becoming a vegan when I turn sixteen and my parents allow me to become one which I think strongly expresses my love for animals. Photography and writing and concert going are simple hobbies that can keep me entertained for hours. I assume my friends would fit into that same category but, I would never call them a hobby; they are my oxygen.
           On the other hand I can’t stand rude, obnoxious, egocentric people but, who can? Rain sickens me, it’s depressing and it happens all to often in North Carolina. Tasteless music also sickens me. Rap, hip hop, R&B? I don’t consider them music. They’re a disgrace to the forefathers of music such as Beethoven and Bach. I also don’t enjoy religion. It’s another reason for constant prejudice and criticism. I don’t mind if anyone disagrees though, to each there own.
           I’m not here to impress you. I’m not here to thrill you. I’m not here to blow you away. I’m not here to forever leave a lasting impression on everyone I talk to. I’m here for my friends. I’m here for my family. After reading this paper you can either keep your prejudice thoughts or start to think new ones. It’s up to you.
