You only get one chance to make a first impression unless someone beats you to it. Life is all about first impressions, they lead to how people will remember you or treat you, if they will hire you or fire you, if they will respect you or neglect you and all those things will either equal happiness and success or sadness and rejection (and failure).
A first impression is endless and it’s yours to make. If someone beats you to the first impression and tells someone lies and taints your name and ruins your reputation it sticks especially if it comes from someone very powerful and it can ruin your life. And the person who purposefully spreads those lies and destroys another’s life should be held responsible.
Now lets go back in time, Jesse MacIntyre is just a young girl when both of her parents die in a car crash. Jesse was devastated and lost, unsure of what her future would now hold. Jesse lived with foster parents who gave her a second chance at life and she took it and embraced it.
Jesse grew up like most girls, meeting bad boys, getting into minor trouble but in the end becoming a respectful, honest, religious hard worker that wanted to help people.
Jesse realized that in order to be successful she had to rely on herself and work hard to achieve her dreams of success and that is exactly what she did. Jesse became a maid to help people. She remembered when her life fail apart and how someone was there to help clean up her life and sort it out. As a maid she was able to relieve a burden off her employers and simplify their hectic lives. Jesse loved being a part of a family. Jesse loved her job.
At 23 years old, Jesse started working for Mr and Mrs. Easterfield and after 2 years of working on one Sunday morning all of Jesse’s hard work, honesty and loyalty was thrown out the window.
It was Sunday morning and like every Sunday after serving breakfast Jesse was off work and would head straight to Church. Jesse’s job as a maid taught her that punctuality is

    Some people said that first impressions are almost impossible to change. while others said first impression are able to change when we get through it. In this time it hard to judge people by just looking. we can’t tell people whether they are good or bad by their physical appearance, or we can’t tell about their personality by their first impression. This the time people don’t trust each other and love each other. In my position i completely disagree by the ideal thinking of that first impressions are almost impossible to change. I believe that first impression is possible to change . There are some examples we could proof it such as, the more you get to know somebody , the best you can evaluate his/ her personality, other is we have to have certain amount of time to get to know and when we first met the person might not be in a good mood. So I believe that we should have more time to get to know others first impression isn’t good enough.…

    “Don’t be over self-confident with your first impressions of people” – Chinese Proverb. Even though people try not to make preconceived notions, it just seems to happen instantly and uncontrollably. Once you have “branded” that person with your preconceived notion, they will always seem like that when you see them and it would be hard to change your mind about them. The only way of knowing how people are truly is to simply give them a chance and talk to them and get to know them better because you may never know when your notion may be overthrown. It is my personal experience to say that my first impression of someone who is now one of my closest friend have been overthrown when I took a chance and talked to her.…
