Summary:
Marion Jones was a
multi time Olympic medal winner. After many years of
her winning the Olympic gold medal she confessed that she was using illegal
drug to enhance her athletic performance. She had lied to the inspectors and
had lived years with the lie that she had won by cheating. Being the face of America
in the Olympics she shocked everyone and most sadly she disappointed many. She was
punished for her actions. Her metals were removed and she was sentenced to six
months in prison.
Reflection:
Jones was living with guilt for years. Even if the reward was great
her conscious was not left alone until she burst out the true. She knew what
the consequences would be and she decided to face them anyways. It is important
to choose the right and be honest to everyone especially with one’s self. No matter
how easy it seems to get away with something, your conscious won’t be pure and
it won’t let you be in peace.
