Blog 4-Moral Muteness

I am sure everyone in their lives has come to a point where they have to be mute about a situation. Back in high school, I never use to be the strongest or the biggest or the fastest but that’s okay because I let my hard work speak for itself. I didn’t really start lifting weights until I was a senior in high school, so I use to be really small and not weight that much. One day I basically decided that I don’t want to be small anymore and I am tired of people making fun of me for it so I did something about it. People looked down on for me for that. It use to tear me up inside when I knew other kids were stronger then me and they gave me grief for it, but I never use to say anything because I knew one day all my hard work would pay off and people would look at me different. I have gained about 37 pounds of muscle since I have graduated high school and every time my old friends see me now, they compliment me on the hard work I’ve put it in the weight room to get stronger and the others that use to give me grief just act astounded when I approach them.

In the sense, this hard work I have put in has helped shaped my value well, hard working and Humble. As much as I always wanted to say something about the grief, I never did because I know the person I am. In the terms of being morally mute, I just let myself be quite and let my results in the weight room to be the one to speak up. All the people that doubted me, I should be thanking; because if I never made the decision to really get into lifting then my body wouldn’t have transformed into what it is now and I am proud from the results I have seen. Now, at Ohio State I am really into nutrition and that’s what I am going to be doing for the rest of my life, which I love. Being morally mute at this time in my life has really shaped me into an overall better person today. It helped me develop the values of hard work and humbleness, in which are two great values to have in being a leader.
