Summary and reflection

                             Summary

The olympic Race Walker Alex Shwazer was banned from the London Olympic Games due to his use of performance enhancers, Alex Shwazer had previously recieved the gold medal for the 50km race walking competition. The italian held a very emotional press conference stating he was glad to have been caught utilizing illegal substances. Alex Shwazers medals were taken from him, thus leaving him with a barren landscape in which no success manifests itself.

                            Reflection

I am outraged by the large number of atheletes that have used illegal substances. I believe atheletes use illegal substance due to their lack of ability or their lack of confidence. My opinion upon every form of cheating is "a person who cheats either lacks the ability or confidence and therefore expresses incapability and poor judgment." Why would he use illegal substances, all a person must do is train intensly and better themselves, an individual can nevre justify cheating, but he can exhibit incapability. Why would any individual consider such a deplorable action, i am horrified that the atheletes who utilize performance enhancers are atheletes who are idolized.

You may want to participate with in a class that your high-school does not offer. Under several circumstances you can enroll in the class through distance learning.

Distance education is a method in which you participate in a class without actually being present where it is taught. Internet-based technology allows you to participate in lessons and class sessions from almost anywhere.

Some High-Schools agree to recognize distance learning credits when the school does not possess the resources required to distribute the course. Distance education is often utilized to increase options in rural areas and increase the selection of AP® courses.

You might have to participate in a self-tutorial at home in the evening, or participating in a class that is being held one thousand miles away, along with other High-School students. Converse with your school counselor in order to widen your selection.

Stuent Success Statement

               Student Success Statement

"You must never be fearful about what you are doing when it right." Rosa Parks
I agree with this statement, we as individuals must never fear an activity that is a correct activity that benefits yourself and/or others. The fear we experience when you are commiting an unjust action is overwhelming, the feeling subsides and manifests as guilt, leading to anxiety and a combination of other emotions. Rosa Parks was an african american activist who fought for the civil rights of african american individuals, i believe she never feared the authorities because she knew she was serving a just cause. We are taught to never commit an unjust action, but when we do we begin to experience fear due to the complications that will arise from the problem. When we commit a correct action we feel full of sincerity and therefore we are assured of the beneficial action we are participating in.

Summary and reflection: The olympic performer's rise and fall

                             Summary

Olympic track and field star Marion Jones won 5 medals during the 2000 olympic games. The reputation that Marion had constructed was demolished in 2007 when she was standing outside of a federal courthouse, after the discovery that she had used performance enhancers during her olympic career, only after Marion have fiercely denied her use of performance enhancers. Marion was sub-sequently stripped of her medals and her freedom when she was sentenced for six months in prison.

                           Reflection

I believe Marion has demolished a reputation that she had obtained through lies and deception. I even question if her reputation was viable at all. She has disrupted atheletic ethics and disgraced the olympic community. One of the aspects that repulses me is her deception, she had denyed the use of performance enhancers to the federal institutions, i believe the action deserves severe punishment. I ask why had she harbored such guilt? How had she felt when she accepted the medals knowing she was accepting the medals through false effort? Marion jones is a disgrace to the olympic community and atheletics.

He reminds students that “ the activities and courses students select varies considerably, so it is important for young people to keep their individual situations clearly in mind.” Mc Gowan continues, “For example, student should allow for the fact that they do not possess much time during performance seasons. Student athletes need to remember the time of the year they will be preoccupied with competitions and practice. Other students who are in classes

That necessitate a considerable amount of diligence outside of the classroom must store that reality with in their minds.”
