Performance Enhancing Drugs (Erick)

1. What do you think about performance enhancing drugs? Should athletes be allowed to take them to be stronger and faster? Why or why not?

What I think about performance enhancing drugs is that it’ is used to make people stronger, faster, and to be in better conditions as well as in good shape. No I do not think athletes should be taking them to become stronger and or faster because its cheating and then you’ll ask yourself where is the real talent if there using drugs for everything. This is why I say our athletes should not take them because then what is the point of having competition if everything is going to be a big lie because there cheating consuming drugs to become better. To me that is just not acceptable and should never at all happen. Also why I say this is because drugs do you no good and as time goes by drugs will end up killing you leaving you with nothing but shame so it is better if you try your best and practice to be good at something then just to take drugs and end up dying years later. So if your reading this then you have been warned and with this I then given my statement of why athletes should not al all for any reason take performance enhancing drugs.

Sports in Schools (Erick)

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

No I think many schools don’t take it easy on their student athletes and treat them just like any other student in school. Why I say this is because I’ve had friends who are in sports and it becomes harder for them to keep up with there work and there athletic sport and if your failing in a class they don’t make it easy on you they give you more work and kick you out of the sport your in. Also that I’ve known it takes a lot focus on both school and your athletic sport which makes it complicated and not easy for any athlete. Yes I do think it becomes harder for athletes in school because of that they do after school because it takes time away from you doing your homework assignments and being able to study for an up coming test or quiz that requires practice for you to understand it. Another thing is that since you are staying after school all the time and have a lot of homework assignments to do you will get frustrated and stressed which will make your focus situation much harder and might cause drop on your grades because it doesn’t allow you to work in focus and your always going to be worried of the tons of work you’ll have.

Tattoos (Erick)

     If I had a tattoo to mark becoming an adult it would be a tattoo of a car but in this case it would be a dodge charger SRT 8. This is because I am a guy who is a fan of cars. A dodge charger would symbolize that I am ready to handle fast cars maturely as an adult. I would also choose to get a tattoo of a BMW sign with blue or black colors. Why is it that I would also choose to get a BMW sign well because I am a BMW fan and well having it makes me feel like its symbolizing that I am a grown up worthy of having a car sign as a tattoo. Yes even though this would be the symbol that I would choose for a tattoo I would refuse to get it. Why you may ask well because I am religious and its against my religion to get my self a tattoo even if I am old enough to get one and well I could disobey and actually get one but I wouldn’t have a clear conscience and regret my mistake. If I wasn’t in a religion where I wasn’t allowed to do such thing then yes I would actually get one because I think its kind of kool if you get a tattoo especially when it’s the one you like. Just saying because its permanent so you have to make the right choice.
