I Once Cheated On A Test…

It was during a 4th grade math test. I wrote some references on the palm of my hand. I have always been terrible at math. I get the basics and thankfully that is all I mainly need in my life and chosen career, but I could just never grasp any of the other concepts. Anyways, I had planned to cheat on the test with a couple of other girls in my class. I was the only one who got caught though. :sad: I guess I must have just been too obvious when peeking at my hand. My teacher came over and flipped my hand over and saw the references. She took my test away from me and I failed. It was extremely embarrassing because not only did I fail, but I also got caught doing it in front of my entire class. The humility I experienced that day has lived with me to this day. I never again even considered cheating on a test.

Two years later, during grade six, I tried forming a school newspaper staff. I had always loved the idea of a school newspaper run by the students. I, along with a friend of mine, talked to the principal about it, and when he agreed that it was a good idea, we began recruiting people to help out. The group was large in the beginning, about 15 people. But before the first issue was even out, the group had dwindled… to me and that original friend. The two of us worked hard to put together the first issue and we actually got it out. It even turned out to be quite successful. A lot of the students seemed to enjoy it, but for whatever reason, that was the only issue we ever put out.

It’s amazing the things you can remember from your early years in school. All of this college considering has really gotten me thinking about past school memories. So, I just thought I would share a couple here. Have you ever done anything in school that you have regretted? Or done something that has always made you smile, even to the present day?

So, I am still just getting the answering machine for the course coordinator I am trying to reach. There is an email listed on the college website for the coordinator that I think I’m going to try. My teacher at the adult alternative school I am attending to finish high school told me that most college course coordinators are notoriously hard to get a hold of. She apparently called four different coordinators regarding another student. She left messages with each, stating that she was a teacher. Only one has gotten back to her. And she’s a teacher! But alas, I will keep trying. This is something I want so badly, so I am not giving up.
