I'm very old school. Unless you're on your death bed, get your ass to work.

I softened up a little after I learned a little more about her upbringing. It's a miracle she's been as successful as she has. Plus, I give her credit for her honesty. She could have come off the floor and complained about a migraine or some other made up physical problem. I don't like what she did but she "manned up" and told the truth.

I hope the MSM and social media learn that we, as a society, need to quit idolizing athletes and celebrities. Especially young ones.
