Biceps!!!



Many people believe that once you are fat and out of shape, it is nearly impossible to become an athletic or muscular person. I was one of thoughs people that believed that until I ran into an article talking about a man who was once over weight and was made fun of then decided to turn his life around and now has "31-inch biceps" Ismail of Massachusetts is one of the few people who not just prove these people wrong, but blow their theories out of the water. Moustafa decided to turn his life around when "a guest at his uncle's wedding mocked his overweight frame in his native Egypt." when people make fun of a persons weight or size it often encourages them too work hard and become fit. This situation comes up everyday for fat people, but it takes alot of hard work to get where this man got to.
      When thinking about these series of events Moustafa was involved in it made me recall a similar situation I was in. I relate very well with this man because when i was younger i was often made fun of for my weight because i was a chubby little lad. I soon realized that, like Moustafa, the only way for me to stop being made fun of was too start working out and get huge biceps. Thats exactly what I did. People that believe once your fat, your stuck that way, are just ignorant. There are many people out there that, like me and Moustafa, overcame their obesity, got huge biceps, and were no longer made fun of.

Although the Luisville basketball team did a wonderful job by themselves, a big reason why they made it to the finals is the fact that Kevin Ware gave them moral support even after he completely broke his leg and could no longer play. "Ware supported his team throughout his injury and they will support him as he cuts down the net if they win tomorrow night." Ware showed trimindus leadership and support by doing this even though he had a terribly broken leg in my opinion. Kevin knew that even though he couldn't support his team on the court he could support them emotionally from the sidelines, and did just that.

I can relate very well with this, when I was in the fourth grade I went through a similar situation with my debate team. I was the smartest kid on the team until one sad day, I got diabetes. It effected my brain in a way that I lost over half of my brain cells. Although I knew I could no longer be apart of the team, I still went all the way to nationals with them and supported them mentally and emotionally. I believe it was what gave them that extra drive to pull through the win. In my mind my support that I gave them was the best I could do and turned out to be enough. Just like Kevin Ware.
