"Cheating" there's a lot of things that can consider in the word cheating but I'm focusing in terms of academic studies.
We all know that cheating by the students in school is not new in our ears but I want to asked you why do students cheat?
My name is Ieina and this is my story. I was an Grade 9 student pilot section.I was known as outstanding in class being consecutive honor since kindergarden till grade 7. And in my 8th grade I became the top 1 that is very new to me and this is the time I made the huge mistake.
First grading of my school year as grade 9 student,I had a transferee seatmate named, Aubrey. And that how it starts. Aubrey tought me to cheat everytime we have quizzes so that we won't need to study in their house. As being first time to be Top 1 I was very aggiliate to keep her 'throne' that's why I cheat only during quizzes. I know that was wrong but I can't let myself watching those friends of Aubrey doing the same and having the same score with me who is studying hard. I was afraid to be caught but terrified to get my 'throne' away from me
During first periodical test I study hard and do my best in the exam without cheating. I became the representative of their school to join in Quiz bee making myself take second periodical test alone. And I passed it, moreover,I won first place in district level and 4th place in division level in Quiz Bee.
I realized that I can do things on my own without cheating I can prove myself that I'm naturally born with intelligence. I dont ned to cheat.
But during the 3rd grading or second semester of the school year. Our secret about cheating was exposed and I've been betrayed by Aubrey, those people who tought her to cheat. With my conscience I told to my adviser all the things happened from the start. Until fourth grading, I still become the top 1 but I feel that no one is believing in me anymore. That I feel I dont deserve this 'throne' and then I reflect my own self.
The next school year I study hard,been representative again of a quiz bee won wuth first and second place in district and division level.Been the top 2 of the class. But I only feel relief in this status and thought, 'i wont be feel any pressure right now'
On my senior high school I discovered that the valedictorian of that's school is using cheats. As a transferee and been in that place I can't bear it and took an iniative to exposed their mistakes. Of course they mad at me but I don't care, all I think is that 'i should not let others be blinded with numbers of grades and ranking'
As years passed by, a lot of people made mistakes especially in terms of cheating but not all the people that are cheating don't have conscience and reason why they did it. I only advice that we should be matured enough to handle this kind of situation and put yourself in the shoes of others.
It is wrong to cheat but it's still not late to make right all of our mistake. We just need time and guidance with people who can understand our wrong and lend their hand to help us to take the right path.
