Tony Farmer, a High School senior and one of the top 50 high school basketball players, was sentence to three years in prison. He went from total popularity to being behind bars. What happened is Farmer was declared guilty for robbing, kidnapping, assault, etc. He would of gotten a college basketball career if he hadn't done all those crimes. His reaction to his 3-year sentence in the courtroom was total unhappiness and he almost cried. No one will ever feel good about doing bad and that's exactly what happened with Tony Farmer, if you're doing what's wrong you will never get away with it.
Reflection:
What happened to Farmer made me feel that it is unbelievable that such a great basketball player could end up in prison for three years. His dream of becoming a great college basketball player in the future was crushed by doing what's wrong. I believe that to this punishment it can happen to any who decides to follow his footsteps and their dreams can be crushed as well. If you do what's right then you won't feel bad, but you will feel pride and instead of punishments you get rewards and also pride.
