Personal Narrative: No Credit?

I still remember it was my first class for the semester. I was excited for my first literature class. Everything went as good as I hoped, at the end of the class, Mr Matt our literature Professor assigned us with a drama review essay, for which we had to watch a live play at a theater and write a review on our experience. Four months later now i am trying to fix the wrong that i did. The day Mr Matt gave us the assignment he instructed us that you have 4 months to complete this assignment. Me being a lazy person planned to do it in the last month.. Three months passed by in the blink of an eye. When the time finally came to do my assignment. I was short of money to buy a ticket for the play as i spent a lot on social activities. But then i thought i can watch a play on youtube and write a review on that, without using any money. So i disobeyed My Professor's instructions and submitted a false assignment by watching a youtube video.

The next day, as promised, she handed out a short pop quiz. It was not as challenging as she tried to make it sound. It presented only five multiple choice questions on it. Once we finished our quizzes, she told us to read the next chapter silently. Once I finished my quiz at the speed of light, I decided to finish other homework, since I preferred to read at home anyway. So while the rest of my class was reading, I worked on homework. Thirty minutes later, I completely finished all of my other assignments, so I decided to start reading the chapter. After nearly two paragraphs in, my teacher interrupted the class to see if everyone finished reading the chapter. Unknown to me, the chapter was fairly short and everyone, but me, finished it. Raising my hand slowly, I told her that I had not finished reading. Everyone in my class turned around and stared at me. The teacher asked me how far I was in the chapter and how much time I needed to

I was walking down the hall of Leaning middle school as a teacher came up to me. It was my science teacher Mr. Clark. He had some very important news. I had to do a science experiment that could cause death if it went wrong. The reason I had to do this was because I failed a science test.

I received a text message fallowed a phone call by a friend who was in the class saying “that student have been caught cheating in the class by exchanging lesson plans and or using lesson plans that where pulled off the internet”. When I found out what happened I knew what we did was wrong and that we need to some how right our wrong. The instructor did give us the choice to confess to what we did and have our grade capped at a “C”. When I found out about the option to come clean about what I did; I knew that I should take that way and learn from my mistake. My problem was that I waited till I got back into the country; the people I work with already sent their emails wording it in a way were it did not make it seem like what we did was against the class

As the semester dragged on, the teacher Mrs. Tebo, kept telling me that I needed to find an event to perform. Finally, I decided to pick a speech. It took me quite awhile to write the speech but I eventually finished it. When the time came for me to present the piece to the class, I bailed out and decided to take a zero on the assignment. After class Mrs. Tebo asked me “Why didn’t you present today? That was a huge assignment.” All I could think to say was that I simply didn’t like the speech. Tebo could see that I was frustrated

I will never make a mistake like this and will never be in a similar situation. Although I will still get all my PE credits I still will have to readjust my schedule and it was an avoidable inconvenience. I have learned a lot from this mistake and nothing like this will ever happen to me again. This is an important learning experience and I have to remember this forever so I never do this again. This action has minor ramifications, but this is good because now I will never be in a situation in which the ramifications are

When I entered the class on Thursday, I had no idea that I would end up in trouble by making unintended mistake of cheating. After the lecture, our chemistry professor decided to provide a surprise quiz as mentioned in the syllabus during the last 20 minutes of the class. I was completely prepared for the quiz because the quiz was over the topic discussed in that particular class. The person I submitted the another quiz for, was also present in the same lecture but, he left the lecture in between, precisely 25-30 minutes before the lecture ended. Moreover, the quiz was open notes, textbook and discussion with your fellow classmates. In order to help him I wrote the quiz solution for him last minute and impulsively without giving second thought I turned his quiz too. However, his unawareness about me turning in the quiz for him and the quiz question made me realize at

But instead, I took it to a teacher I could trust and explained how I felt about it. She then gave me the advice to take it to the office to show them. I showed them and the person got their

Principal of engineering was a course that seemed to always want to screw me over. One project in particular was the Marble sorter, the objective was to successfully sort four types of marbles all made of different materials. As the teacher assigned groups of three I willingly joined my group for some brainstorming. It didn't take long for me to not like or approve of our design but, I silently went along with it. Even though I didn't trust the ideas of my other group members I went home feeling okay. I was assigned to do the funnel where the marbles would enter, I came up with the idea to cut the bottom of a milk carton and turn it upside down. So after four class periods of being told what to do and have my ideas pushed off to the

My first semester of my senior year, I was enrolled in multiple online college classes. One of the classes I was enrolled in was Mythology. Being that it was a college level course, it was challenging and thought provoking, but I enjoyed broadening my education with a new interesting subject. I accepted the challenges of the class and completed the assignments to the best of my ability. As the semester was beginning to come to completion, I had an advanced grade, and began to diligently complete my final assignment, which was 20% of my grade. As I perfected my assignment, I was very confident in my final product. I followed the correct protocol and submitted my assignment with confidence and certainty of a proficient grade. To my dismay, when

The section that she had circled in red ink wasn’t even the seven-word phrase that I copied and pasted! What kind of evil joke is this? Instead, it was a short phrase in a different section of my paper that resembled an online discussion board that I vaguely remembered reading during my research process. (If I found it on a discussion board, I must have been doing some great research, am I right?) Long story short, to my relief, I was not expelled from that school, but I did receive a zero on that assignment and was also assigned to write a new rhetorical analysis on John F. Kennedy’s Inauguration Speech for which I would receive no credit. In the end, I ended up receiving the punishment I deserved for plagiarism, but not for the reasons I was expecting.

I apologize if it seems that I don't want to work on this with the school, but this shouldn't have happened in the first place. I did what I was supposed to do as a student. I understand errors can happen,

A week later, my physics teacher said he had dropped out of the class. I was extremely mad and disappointed that he dropped out of the class without telling me, making me work on the project by myself, and most importantly I was mad at the fact that he had broken my

The guilt made me hate going to class and desperate for summer vacation to start because I thought it would help me to rid myself of the guilt and give me a fresh start when the following year began. Unfortunately, it didn't work out as I anticipated and before the year ended, my friend who gave me the marker tattled on me. Once everyone found out, no one believed it was me because I was the quietest in the class and it was so out of character for me. I admitted it to everyone, and surprisingly, I wasn't punished or even scolded, but I believe the punishment I put upon myself because of the guilt was harsher than any of a teacher or principal.

I looked at the zero on my project and left the room. I spoke to another teacher about the incident, but I was only given a lecture to take proper notes. There was another student in my class that was showing his project to a friend. I asked the student if I could see his project, and asked what was the extra part of the project the teacher wanted the class to do. He mentioned to me that he just followed the rubric, and received an eighty-nine on his project. I felt robbed, I felt hurt, and there was nothing I could do to change it. When I got home, I told my mom about the situation and surprisingly she wasn’t upset. She even apologized to me for not coming to the school when I asked her to, and let me know she will take care of it. My mom went to the school and as it turns out the report was missing to my project. The teacher overlooked it, and I got a ninety-four on my
