OK been a little thoughtful today and contemplating a lot of things, i don't know if this i due to going back to education after so many years out or that i currently writing an application form for what is quite possibly the job i literally would spend the rest of my life quite happily doing......
OK so where to start as you all know from my personal jargon bit i am currently studying to become a social worker... this has led me to applying for said job as, as they say there is no value on experience.... the job i am applying for is a support worker within a women's refuge which is exactly what i want to be doing as i have too many personal scars to even think about when it comes to domestic violence,
but while i was writing my application i came to the personal statement section 45 lines of how to tell a person who i am and why i should be working for them..... yeah difficult huh... this has then led to me thinking maybe this is the best way to judge someone as human nature tells us that we will judge someone on how they look rightly or wrongly we're all guilty right???
This got me thinking of the first time i met my future mother in law a vicar, we met at her house as you can imagine i was already quite nervous as i was meeting the love of my life's mom... add on top of that her being in full vicar dress my nerves were extreme i didn't know what to say or how to act, so i opted for my grandparent self.... (we all know that one right no taboo subjects dressed Conservatively) yep that was me a bag of nerves in chinos and knitwear lol
Because you see i had already judged this complete stranger on how she looks.... this over time i have come to realize is the complete opposite of the person i now know...... if you look at me for example i look the stereotypical girly girl and don't get me wrong i can be but deep down i'd quite happily be in my jujitsu lesson no make up (well hardly :)) and my hair tied back..... but you would never guess this by looking at me........
can a job or ''a look'' really hold such importance that it outweighs every other aspect of our view of a person??
***I promise next time i won't be as deep sorry .... i will fill you in on my other goings on..... i.e my shopping trip today :-)***
