JOE

The event that I been hearing so much about every time I seem to turn on the TV has been the Joe Paterno scandal.  The article that I looked up talks about how it seemed he didn’t do enough to stop what was going on with his staff. Even though Joe didn’t interact with the sex scandal he and his staff became fired. From my perspective he should have did more because he is like the head poncho around Pen State.  Now from this dilemma his legacy for what he has done for his school will be overshadowed, by the scandal with him and his staff. Any real man would have stepped up and said something about grown men playing with little boys. I respected Joe for all of his accomplishments at Pen State for making his school a football power house. The community around Pen State I think will not be the same and really do not have a hero or icon to look up to any more. This is not the first time this year a Power house football team has had a scandal that blew up this year. Power houses such as the USC scandal players taking money while going to school. These days more and more things like this are coming up and it shows that the world around us is corrupted. Who can you trust? Is the question that seems to come up now days when people who you look up to are really terrible people. Whatever the case maybe  the reality of it is the world is a place of shame and deceit

Grandpa

Throughout my life what seems to be a constant that inspires me each day and keep me going is my Grandpa. He to me is the best thing that could have happened to me in my time I had to spend with him while he was living. Showed and taught me everything I know while I was growing up not really having a father figure in my life. He was the father to me and many of my sisters and cousins he was the foundation of our family. He did the little things that mattered coming up as a child, such as taking me and my sisters to school every day and being old as he was you couldn’t tell. Introduced to me sports tell this day I watch sports center because of him to just remind myself he still exists and is never forgotten. My grandpa was the only person who really believed in me when no one else seemed to. I thank him tell this day and always keep him in my prayer when I rest my eyes from a hard days of work. He taught me that don’t be like everybody else not doing nothing with themselves being a young black man try to become something in life. So like he said I will become the next best thing and show everybody that dough’s the fact I will be just like everybody else. That to me is my motivation and it continue to inspire me to take that next step in becoming successful in this world which seems not to being better but worse.Grandpa I again say thanks for being you and making me a better me.
