Morals

The current event that has impacted me in a way would have to be the Joe Paterno case. Joe paterno is the head coach for the penn state football time and have been involved with the Penn state college for over 60 years. I am a big football fan, this case has to do mostly with Joe’s assistant coach Sandusky and how he brought kids on campus and took showers with them. The man that reported the crime (several years later) name is Mike McQueary and he told the courts that he seen Sandusky have sexual contact with a young boy who looked around the age of 10. Mike reported this scene to his superiors and they didn’t report to the police, instead they told the college police and they had only one man on the case. The police investigated mike he reportedly he told them that he would not take shower with boys any more. During this time Sandusky had retired and had a full retirement plan set up from the school. This meant that he had all access to the school resources and received no punishment.  

            My reaction to hearing this news was that it was wild crazy. I could not believe that the campus officials allowed this man to continue to be a part of the campus and it made me sick to hear that the leaders of this school continue to do nothing while all of this happened. I believe that everyone involved should be held accountable for their actions weather good or bad. When I first heard about the case I felt has if Joe should not have been fired from his head coach job because he too reported the incident to his superiors but a man with has much clout has him should have done more instead he brushed it under the rug and now they all most face the consequences

Inspiration

A place where I draw most of my inspiration from has to be my family. Like a lot of people my family has been helping me throughout my life and have always been there to support me in some sort of way or fashion. The people in my family are all different, different color, shape, and background but we all help support each other and keep in contact. I have learned and incorporated many things from my love ones and emulate them in many ways. I have two older brothers and growing up they were a big inspiration to me. They were my role models; I used to think if I could be just like them I would be alright. My two older brothers were very popular and good communicators, they also played basketball and were not too bad so growing up I draw inspiration from my brothers. Other member of my family that I respect to the fullest is my grandma and dad. These two people have showed me undeniable love throughout my time on this planet. Throughout my struggles, my good times, they have been their giving me the resources that they were given to best help me and support me in my future. I am my father’s only child and my grandma’s only grandchild on this side of the country, so I always wanted to prove to them that I can carry the Triplette name with pride and show to them that I can rise from my circumstances and make the best of my time. Another family member that I draw inspiration from has to be my mother and sister. My mom is a very strong and independent women and I admire that about her. She is very loving and emotional and have always showed me respect has a equal. I had to add my little sister in here because she is the future of my family, hopefully the last of my mothers kids, and she just go. She’s super funny and very smart and it inspires me that I can support her and also set that bar high for her. If she see that her brother made it from lesser circumstance hopefully they well give her motivation.
