永遠不要以貌取人
I am a 27 year old trying to go back to college after a long break from any formal schooling.
那時我已經27歲了,多年沒有在學校裏接受過正規教育,正為重返大學校園而努力。

I am taking a college algebra class and struggling to keep up.
我學習了一門大學代數課,正竭力能追上其他同學。
I sit behind a young man who upon first glance looks like a thug or overall someone I would never think would be able to help me learn algebra . I was dead wrong.
坐在我前面的是一個年輕的男人,乍看之下看上去像個惡匪,無論如何,我絕不會想到他會輔導我學習代數。我大錯特錯了。
Today in class we were learning linear regression which requires a lot of specific inputs on a graphing calculator.
今天課堂上我們學習的是線性迴歸。這節課對我的空間想象力提出了很高的要求。
I kept getting a number that was thousands off of the correct answer.
我得到的答案總是跟正確答案風馬牛不相及。
The “thug” that sits in front of me turns around and says “I got you bro. Let me see what you got.”
坐在我前面的“惡匪”轉過頭來對我説,“我挺你,兄弟。讓我看看你算得怎麼樣。”
After about 5 minutes I was crushing these regression formulas .
大約五分鐘之後,我已經能毫無障礙的駕馭那些線性迴歸公式了。
Now I know to never make a judgement on someone because of how they look/dress.
到那時我才知道,永遠不要憑一個人的相貌或者打扮去評判一個人。
I dismissed a classmate in my college algebra class because of their appearance and was very wrong about my initial judgement.
我曾經因為相貌對大學代數課上的一個同學妄加評判,結果我的第一印象大錯特錯。這件事我一直銘記在心。
