So, four swimmers in the U.S. Olympic team lied about being robbed at gun point in Rio and the International Olympic Committee said they were there to have fun, give them a break? Aren’t they there to represent their country in a civilized manner? Aren’t they supposed to follow rules just like they would anywhere else at any moment?
They were not competing at that moment but they were still representing their country and even if they were in their own country that’s unacceptable behavior. No matter where they were that was unacceptable and just because they are Olympians doesn’t mean they can go around doing whatever they want and get away with it. On the contrary, they are representing their country, they should be well behaved and show respect to the country they are in.
They cannot let them just get away with this just because they’re white boys with money. If it were anybody else from any other country they would have to pay, but the white boy just got on a plane and went home. Anybody else would have to face consequences and they should too.

I’m an aspiring writer still looking for exactly what I want to write about, with a lot of creativity, imagination and desire to write.
I studied Writing and Rhetoric at Syracuse University where I explored many different sides of writing through my classes and extracurricular activities in order to narrow my search for an identity as a writer.
I have written for Citrus TV Noticias and La Voz magazine, both of which gave me the chance to explore different mediums in which to write in. Through Citrus TV Noticias I also gained experience in translating from English to Spanish and vice versa, which is also something that I would be interested in working on since I am fluent in both of these languages. I was also an intern at Syracuse University Press where I got hands on experience in what goes into actually editing and publishing a book.
Through out the last four years I have faced a lot of challenges, which helped chape the person I am today. After being in a tragic car accident, being in comma, having a Traumatic Brain Injury, and being in therapy for over a year, I am a new me, willing to face challenges and knowing how to deal with them. I want to write about my accident and life after it to help others, show them it can be done and help in any way I can.
