Through out all the informal research we have done, most of the people think that makes you have an image that stands out from everybody else. Rather its something that you wear, doing something positive, or acting a way that that makes people happy. Being cool to everybody is things that are good and make people compliment. Everybody's answers is the same that i interviewed but they are just said in a different way.
