| Your number one priority is to come to term with what an awful thing you did, not with "this won't go in my record." It doesn't seem like you regret what you did, but more conern about your record. Your teacher will see through it when you speak with her tomorrow, which will upset her even more. The worst mistake you could make tomorrow is to ask her not to put it on your record.
Many teachers are very disappointed when their star students cheat because it violates their trust and many of them do take it personally. My daughter's chemistry teacher was so upset with a student for stealing a test and the whole class for not reporting it, he refused to write recommendation letters for anyone in the class. He felt for all of his effort the class should have enough respect for him to do the work and not take the easy way out. I have a feeling that's how your teacher is feeling. The last thing you should worry about is your record. You should be more concerned about losing your teacher's trust. |
