Write a brief three paragraph essay. In the first paragraph, describe the stereotypical perceptions of an athletic student at school. In the second paragraph, describe the indirect and direct perception checking you did to clarify those perceptions. In the third paragraph, explain how the stereotypical perceptions were either the same or different than the real perceptions you clarified through your direct and indirect checking.

Many people believe student athletes are given special treatment or perceived as students who receive special treatment. There are different stories and scandals about student athletes every day. The media especially likes to focus on the negative stories about student athletes rather than the good ones. Feel good stories are nice but scandal stories increase revenue.

The indirect perception checking I did to clarify the perceptions brought up was I actually used my own personal experiences I had at school and I also checked the internet. The direct perception checking I did to clarify the perceptions brought up was asking my fellow mates what their personal experiences with athletic students and the stereotypical perceptions they have heard or have experienced.

The stereotypical perception that student athletes are given special treatment or perceived as students who receive special treatment were basically the same as the real perceptions that I clarified through my direct and indirect checking. They both believed that athletic students do indeed receive special treatment at school.

Athletic students, at school, are generally believed to have strength and energy greater than other students. People believe that a student that belongs to the school's athletic team has some natural energy in him or her. This stereotypical perception of athletic students make their colleagues to nurse unnecessary fear concerning them, and also devote daunting tasks to them.

Athletics is a process that involves trainings and rehearsals, and does not necessarily have to do with natural abilities. Every school student can be a member of the school's athletic team provided that they are ready to sacrifice their time and efforts. Athletics ability does not have to do with ability to fight.

These stereotypical perceptions of people about athletic students conflict with the true perception of who they are. All students are expected to take part in athletic activities rather than assuming that a natural ability is attached to it. Athletic students should be encouraged and praised rather than being feared by their colleagues
