My topic from the beginning was that athletes in high school and college receive privileges from teachers and administrators when they do not need or deserve it because it is unfair to the other students. I also stated that categorizing of students is unfair to them because that does not give the student a chance. My topic now is that athletes receiving privileges sets them up to fail down the road.
After my exploratory essay I decided that categorizing of students was not the way I wanted to go and focused on the privileges of athletes in college and how much athletics are worshiped at a school. I talked about in my paper how valuable an athlete is to a school and how if they aren't passed then the teacher could be in trouble for the team losing out. I also talked about how athletes are not as responsible for their grades as they should be. My last point is that letting athletes slide by and not making them work for their grades can lead to problems in the long run. I state in my paper that an example of someone having problems after college would be Antwon Walker who is now broke because he couldn't spend his money wisely. He lost over a 100 million dollars because he didn't know how to handle business decisions because he probably didn't have to make any in college because of his basketball ability.
I have enjoyed writing this paper as much as anyone could and I have found out new things that I didn't know before researching this topic.
