He threw away his future, he could’ve been someone. But he did something horrible to someone he is supposed to love and care for and because that he will have to pay the consequences.

“What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us.”

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

I agree with this quote, troubles that one faces are not as important as what your intentions are. If you have good intentions and choose the right, all obstacles can be overcome.

Summary & Reflection

Summary

Alex Schwazer was banned for using drugs, he won the gold medal in speed walking.

Reflection

I think that what Alex did was wrong. He won the gold medal but won it unjustly, he did not deserve it. He deceived people and took first place from another person who would’ve won it honestly.

Summary and Reflection

Summary

A man stole money from sears and after 60 years he returned it.

Reflection

I think he did the right thing by returning it, better late than never. Because he chose the wrong he felt bad for 60 years, he could’ve avoided it by not doing it in the first place. This just goes to show, everything has a consequence, no matter how long it takes.

Reflection

Summary

Two girls were racing and Debb, who was winning, had an injury, so Jenna, who was in 2^nd place, helped her finish.

Reflection

Jenna showed what good sportsmanship is all about. She chose the right, she showed that winning isn’t the most important thing when playing sports. Jenna couldve easily passed Debb but she didnt, she even let Debb win 1st place.
