Right two instances where your perspective has influenced your behaviour towards a classmate or a friend
Perspective has influenced my behaviour towards others in the past. For example, a
new boy joined our class, and I quickly formed a judgement that he was not very
bright or active since he was very quiet. Later, I realised that he was very intelligent
and he was only quiet because he was nervous on his first day of school. In another
instance, I was feeling scared to talk to a teacher who was popular for being very
strict. But, after talking to her I realised she was kind. I had formed an opinion based
on other student’s past experience.

I once attempted to answer a question in the class and my classmates started

conscious for no reason and missed out on the opportunity to respond to the
teacher’s question.
