Advantages of having Advantages

                                 Daily Question #1

Yes, some people have advantages. For example, some people are born good at school, and therefore get better grades in school. Some people have loads of money and can bribe people to win at things or can use money to become famous. Another example, In NFL scouts look at African American males more than they do Caucasians. People are born very fast, and some people are born very big. I do think people are born with advantages, because for me I can jump really far and that is why in Track I am going to be doing the Long Jump. In the world people have advantages, and certain races get better opportunities. Some people also are born with big hands, and this can help them in baseball because it is easier to throw and catch the ball.

Glad well made me think differently about people’s advantages. He used statistics from sport teams, and how they are all around the same age. Many of the players were also born in the months of January, February, and March. The sources were very convincing and it added to my knowledge of advantages. They were convincing because it made me see that ability is not all and age can make a huge difference, and if you are very old for your age group you are more likely to get a better career.
