Tony Farmer: CTW


Tony Farmer
A senior at Garfield Heights high school and aspiring basketball player, having the world in his hands messed it all up. He was a good player but he choose the wrong for pleading guilty of robbing, kidnapping his girlfriend, assault and other crimes. He had such a bright future yet he threw it all away for what? Bad choices. What type of life can you have if all you do is what’s wrong? You won’t be able to have a life, or become someone amazing. Be who you are but make sure you will be someone who people are proud of and who you’re proud of or what’s the point?

Doper.


Alex Schwazer
Well he was an Olympic race walker and I can’t stand the fact that after he was caught he still managed to be a bad person and not even feel guilty for doing it. He was an Olympian, a “role model” for kids everywhere, someone trustworthy and reliable but what did he do? He deceived everyone and used illegal substances to win. It’s immeasurable of how much disappointment and shame he brought upon himself. He needs to grow up and learn that doing drugs to win, or in general is not okay. You need to be an honorable and respectable person and do what is right to succeed not cheat your way to succeed, what does that say about you?

CTW: Olympic Cheater


CTW: Olympic Cheater
Well this story was about Marion Jones an Olympic athlete who was famed and took pride in being an Olympian. After she won a medal at the Olympics it was thought she cheated after reviewing tests she was stripped of her medals, she was caught cheating. Red handed and yet she still denied it, how could she possibly do that? Not because she was a bad person, but yet she wanted to win so bad she would take extreme measures instead of just training and getting better herself she turned to drugs. Choosing the wrong at its prime.

Locked Away

Well this incident report was about a young girl being locked away by her grandparents and only being let out for school. How can they do that? The poor girls only opportunity to leave the bathroom (place of captivity) to go to school. How could they do something so inhuman. There should be regular visits when children are left under guardianship at random times. How could no one notice, this went on for six years and no one said anything. Once someone found out what the couple, Brian and Rivae Hart,  had done there was no turn away's everything was charged and they were put in jail. In the end the grandparents were put in jail on counts of kidnapping, and child endangering.

Self-Discipline

It is when you have enough self discipline to understand the differences between right and wrong. It allows you to know when you are being a CTR champion or a CTW dud. You can succeed because you know how to say no to the bad things, accept help when needed, make yourself powerful (Without resorting to violence like Popeye.) You know what the correct and incorrect things to do are, like in Popeye I'm pretty sure you should call the police for harassment not beat the guy up but whatever it is a cartoon.

Cruelty or Glory? The Tennessee Walking Horse Nightmare


Jackie McConnell, the trainer who, along with his employees, was caught on tape, had no comment for ABC News, and showed no remorse. McConnell was the trainer for owners who wanted their Tennessee Walking Horses to conquer the competition, he would beat the horses so they would go higher, to conquer even more. These trainers wouldn’t even acknowledge the fact they had done wrong leaving no comment or anything. The investigation done soon after showed all the foreign substances on the horses legs to show where they were beat and chemicals added to wounds to add stamina and power to the animals. In conclusion the animals were cruelly punished due to the incompetence of the owners and trainers letting the poor animals suffer and the winners getting both money and recognition for their wrong doing.

Tiger Woods: Ignorance or Confusion?


Tiger Woods: Ignorance or Confusion?
There are many words to describe Tiger Woods. And today you see that the spotlight is on family matters with his brother. It is being spread in tabloids as Woods ignoring his brother Kevin Woods when his brother, Kevin, asked for a hand out. Kevin suffers from multiple sclerosis and is in a foreclosing process. To me this seems like a family crisis and Tiger Woods should be helping as much as he can in his brothers time of need. He needs family stability if he wants to recover and if his family is ignoring him well that will make things worse. You also can penalize Tiger Woods because he’s busy too but he has to make time for his family.
