One of the uniforms that I have worn, which to me is quite distinctive, has to be my school uniform, which consists of a green tie with a long-sleeved white suit covered by a grey dress. My parents were the ones who purchased the uniform, and I remember them making sure that I had all the necessary pieces. Well, I wear it to school almost twice a week, and I think the requirement to wear this uniform to school not only emphasized discipline, but also foster unity among my peers and me. Well, initially, I didn’t pay much attention to it, and I saw it as just another outfit. However, my perspective changed when I began noticing the uniforms of students from other schools, comparing my uniform to theirs. I started to appreciate its quality and colour combinations, which to me is much more compatible comparing to theirs. I felt a sense of pride realising that our uniform was much more attractive and uniquely styled, which made me grateful for what I had.
