never ever judge a book by its cover

yes i do believe that outward appearances are deceptive. Just because a person looks a certain way doesn't necessarily mean they act or fit the role they are trying to portray.  An example of this in our life is seeing a good girl who is really preserved and quiet at school ending up getting pregnant. she may set out to the have an appearance of a really good school girl, but in reality she is not. she is a complete party animal who loves living life to the fullest. Another example can be of a kid who looks super nerdy and acts like they know it all but in reality they're just an average kid who tends to slack just like everybody else. I know a kid who dresses all thug nasty and affiliates himself with all the delinquent students of the school but he is actually one of the smartest kids in the school. We are too concerned with our outer appearance because many people try to fit into society by going to extremes and changing their appearance or behavior to adapt and be in what they consider is the "in crowd". But that just goes to show to never judge a book by its cover. you will never really know who someone is off their looks, because the looks of a person may not always go with their personality.

what we value in america can be both empty and substantial. We as Americans value our electronics very much! which most of you would agree. our cell phones are one of the biggest things we most definitely value. to some people it may be considered as empty but if you really look at it, it connects us with the ones we love. so in a way it can be substantial. other items that are considered empty are like name brand clothing and big name car dealers. The things that are substantial in life are family, friends, and food.

Honestly speaking, my significant others looks and financial standings would not play a huge role, but i mean it will still concern me a bit. I'm not trying to sound snobby but it would be nice if my significant other had a nice and good appearance, but if they don't its still completely fine with me. Money wise, it does not matter. if it is for someone who i truly love i will support them for as long as i possibly can as long as they're putting in the effort as well.
