After being a winner of fourteen Olympic Gold Medals which eight of them he received in the summer of 2008 in Beijing,China,Michael Phelps has been accused of smoking marijuana from a bong from a picture that was taken three months ago and the photo was released on United Kingdom magazine. Michael was at a college party in South Carolina when he has consumed the illegal drug.
Michael Phelps a role model for children,athletes,and even adults has disappointed them from his following actions that he has admitted and apologized to have them. Back in 2004 after Phelps won six gold medals in Athens, he was charged with underage drinking following a traffic stuff in Maryland.So the question is do stars/role models like Michael Phelps deserve another chance; because it looks like this is the second time he has done something to cause disappointment to others by his actions gone wrong.
Everyone in this world makes mistakes starting with the low-class people to the highest possible class there can be, because no one is perfect;because if you made a mistake you would want to be forgiven even though you might have changed the inspiration to others, people always learn from mistakes.The news of Michael Phelps mistake has traveled world wide as people are unsure and confused if there are anymore true role models out there.
It was just a dumb slip up that happens to everyone. I mean college party's these days are pretty rough and once they get started they end pretty bad. For example the college party in South Carolina that Phelps attended to ended up in worldwide debate 3 months later (which is now) whether or not he should be forgiven for his following actions. In the end we have to simply forgive and forget because we cannot have a grudge on a person because of their errors because people are made to make mistakes.
Just think about how you would feel in his situation, don't quickly judge,because you might of done a lot of things wrong that have been easily forgotten and now your biting away at other peoples problems.So in conclusion we should give another chance.
