Blog post 2: synthesis

I do believe that so people have advantages but some are used to make people better at things. Like the time when I won a blue ribbon on my swim team. I had worked so hard to achieve it and I had trained for weeks before to make sure I achieved my goal. There are a couple of reasons why I was able to accomplish my goal, one is that I was faster than most of the other girls and two it’s because I was taller and slimmer than they were. Now in relation to the book Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell his opinion is that most people have advantages that make them better at what they do. I completely agree with his opinion because it is true most people do have advantages that make them better than others and at what they do. For example, he used hockey players and how the older ones and stronger ones get more training so they are better at the sport than others are. In conclusion, I do believe that some people have advantages and this makes them better at what they do.
