While conducting my student observations; I have gathered up a few inferences about my subject. Over the span of three weeks I recorded observations made solely on things I examined visually. I did not make personal contact, instead I watched my subject from a far. By examining my subject in this manner I was limited only to what I saw to make inferences. My subject’s appearance, social class, and habits all play a role in her interactions with society, and tell me a little about her as an individual in society.
As I tracked the style and types of outfits my subject had, I noticed a trend. She appeared to dress fashionably, often wearing name brand items.

Based off the things the subject owns I inferred that she was at least a middle class citizen or higher. Other contributing factors to my assumptions were the area and school which the subject was in. Fairfax county can be a pricy place to live along with it being occupied by a majority of middle class families or higher. Lately the school which the subject attended Woodson high school, is also mainly populated with middle class
