cheating

We can rationalize it in our heads as guidance or help but cheating is just that: it’s cheating, no matter how much you try to justify it. If you have any doubt in your head at any time, even the smallest inkling of guilt creeping up from pit of your stomach, then chances are doing something you shouldn’t be doing.


Lessons learned the hard way. Yah, I learned my lesson the hardest way. We were checking our quiz papers after the hemorrhagic quiz was given. Fortunately, I was able to answer naman (higher than I expect). Back to the checking issue, my classmate told me “buhay-buhay lang”. At first, I was wondering “what does than mean?” I asked myself. Then, I got his point na. As checking’s going on, I saw 3 numbers left unanswered then the sinful act happened. I provided answers to the spaces left. I was guilty then knowing that it’s a form of cheating or more than just cheating ‘coz its manipulation. My classmate also manipulated the 3 items on my paper.

The next class, my teacher call our attention regarding manipulation issue. He discovered it or someone told him. I was shaking then & I can’t concentrate to the things I am doing.
During the confrontation, I couldn’t look straight to his eyes. When our teacher told us about the issue, we admit it. When he told us about his feeling (he’s not mad, he’s just hurt) I felt so guilty. He’s so kind, he doesn’t deserve to have student like us.

The following days, I was really depressed. It’s not that am sad only because of the consequences of the action that we did but because I’ve hurt somebody.

“SIR, I AM SORRY. SORRY IF I CAUSED YOU PAIN. SORRY I IF LEARNED MY LESSON THE HARD WAY.”
