Yes, I stereotyped an individual on the first day of class.

Explanation:My assumptions are;

Extremely fashionable students are not academically inclined.

Extremely fashionable student believe their looks could make them access opportunities easily.

How my assumptions changed.

I created time to communicate with these students and I was convinced that they are not who I taught they were because my assumption changed totally after having an effective communication.

I was incredibly surprised at their dedication towards their academics which made them top the class.
