Marion Jones


Summary:
Marion Jones a track and field Olympic athlete won 5 gold medals in the 2000 Olympic Games. Throughout her athlete career she had always been accused of using drugs. She always denied it eventually she could not bear it anymore and told the truth. She had indeed taken enhancing drugs. She spend six months in prison and she was no longer owner of the gold metals.
Reflection:
I think she did wrong by taking the drugs. All she had to do was work hard in order to win the gold metals. I think she would have felt more proud if she had won the medals without the drugs. It would have been better because she had worked hard for it, and that would make her feel even better of herself. But she decided to use the drugs, now she was not admired by people. She was a shamed, and had to spend time in prison for what she did

He reminds students that “the activities and courses students choose vary considerably, so it’s important for young people to keep their individual situations clearly in mind.” MacGowan continues, “For example, student actors should allow for the fact that they won’t have as much time during performance seasons. Student athletes need to remember the times of the year that they’ll be tied up with games and practices. Other students who are in classes that make considerable demands outside of the classroom must keep that reality in mind.”
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!
