The Responsibility Project

1. Heartache

   Yes, I firmly believe that Corey did the right thing. There are such deeper levels to this story than the obvious wrong that Corey's father did to him by injecting him with an illegal substance. There is the sadness of a father putting his son's life at risk for the sake of "winning." (What has been "won" here?) There is the harm that was done to a father-son relationship which should be a precious thing. There is the guilt that Corey may understandably feel by turning in his father. And there is the fact that Corey's father harmed his son not only physically, but quite possibly emotionally by not allowing him to have a normal childhood and the chance to know if he could have been a competitive athlete on his own without the drugs. What has this done to Corey's overall perspective on life? What a sad situation, both for Corey and for his emotionally warped father.
