Role of Competitors (Alan)

What part do competitors participate in our civilization? Must they be role models? How do fans react when this role models cheat, commit crimes, etc.?

Well one of the roles is that if you want accomplish something you have to work very hard and be careful you don’t get injured or hurt. Like in soccer you have to try your best to be good and always believe in yourself. Like my favorite soccer player is Cristiano Ronaldo and I think his a good role model because he might not be the best but he never gives up and tries his best. Well if I ever found out that Cristiano ever committed a crime I would be pretty upset because he looks like a good person but some people say he isn’t because he supposedly is a straight up ball hogger. I’m like I don’t care because at least he is putting a lot of effort in the game. I would never believe he would take steroids and other things to make him faster and stronger in a game. When I first saw a video about him I saw juggling with his feet an orange and that pretty much shows a lot of effort. I think another role he might play is just try to have fun and don’t get stressed in things. Always believe in yourself like in church and in youth group I heard this quote “ everything is possible for the one that believes”.  Like people make fun of me because I don’t know how to play soccer, but I know one day sooner or later that I will be really good in soccer. I hope that day comes, not to be a showoff or anything just that Ima tell or show them it’s true that “ everything is possible for the one that believes” and I’m a believer and I believe that day will come. Like I believe I am be like Cristiano Ronaldo and even become one of the best at soccer or if not at something else. 

Tattoos (Alan)

If you had to get a tattoo what would it be and why?

Cultures all around tattoo them selves to show that they are maturing and growing into adulthood. Others tattoo themselves to show their religion and culture. If I had to get a tattoo to mark my transition into adulthood I would chose to get a tattoo of God or Jesus and Virgin Mary and my family’s last name also. I would get those tattoos because I’m catholic and to show respect and love. They’ve always helped with me like they cured me when I was in surgery and saved me from almost dying. They also have blessed my family and me and have helped my family also. The reason I would tattoo my family’s last name is to represent and show my family that I care about the family. My family and everything about church mean everything to me. Like to show I care I would also tattoo myself my mom’s last name, which is Castor to also show that I care about my mom’s family. The only reason I wouldn’t tattoo myself is if it’s not worth nothing like stars or other designs. I really don’t like tattoos but like I said before only if it’s for family or if it’s for God and Virgin Mary and all the other saints. I will always show respect for God and all the other saints and for my family.

School & Athletes (Alan)

Many people think athletes get it easy in school. Do you think many schools take it easy on their athletes (easier classes, nicer on grading, etc.)? Or rather, do you think it’s harder for athletes in school because of all they do after school?

Numerous folks believe sportspersons get it simple in school. Do you believe lots of schools take it calm on their sportspersons (simpler lessons? Pleasanter on grading, etc.)? Before somewhat, do you believe it’s difficult for athletes in school because of all they do after school?

Well people think wrong on athletes because it’s not easy in school. They treat them the same as a regular person or student would be treated.it doesn’t matter if you’re an athlete or not you still need to do your homework and other things. Its sort of hard because if your sored or injured you still need to come to school like last year I heard from one of my friends told me that they did difficult exercises. When I was in the Central Middle school soccer team we did scrimmage and passing the ball and learning how to kick the ball at perfect aim. Our coach was named Mrs.Drumwright and she was also my advocate. I was not good in soccer, but I had some days were I was really good and some days were I was really bad. Some classes were kind of hard because of all the frustration from practice. The day that wasn’t that much frustrated was Thursday because on Wednesday we don’t have practice. You also have to have good grades above a C- and up. When I was in soccer I had tutoring twice because one time I was failing foods, which is a class where you cook and you do a report on what you did and procedures. The other class I was failing was reading but then the reading teacher helped me understand it a little bit more and then I passed it. Its not as easy as it looks, but if you stay focused and pay attention in class then you’ll be right on track. Remember try to pass all your classes and you’ll take a step to success
