Dressing Well

I have no idea why some of our officials estimate appearances so much to the extent that they start to judge people wrongly. Back to my training days as a teacher trainee, we were once told to do a medical check-up, a condition required for joining the teaching profession. When I went to see the doctor, I was wearing blue jeans, an old T-shirt and black sneakers. All trainees entered his office one by one. Some trainees with a tie and a suit on came out of his office, saying that they were told they would make good teachers. When my turn came, I entered and sat down. He immediately asked me to stand up, and he began to look at me up and down suspiciously as though I had committed a crime. His eyes frightened me so much. He also kept looking at me from right to left and from left to right before he spoke. " You don't dress as a teacher; you don't deserve to be a teacher, " he said to me crossly. Maybe, he is right. But this was in the past. Now, I have changed a lot. I made a grave mistake because I did not know that blue jeans and black sneakers can make of one a bad teacher at first sight, while the clothes he recommended to me like polished black shoes can make of one a good teacher at first sight too. Now, I am at last certain that dressing well is a sign that good teaching is taking place in class, ironically speaking.
