I was accused of cheating by my anatomy teacher during an exam. Before the class, I had written a little helpful hints thing on my hand. (Writing it down helps me study). Then I went to Anatomy and asked to go to the bathroom so I could wash off the marker. Of course it was red permanent marker and it wouldn’t come off all the way! I didn’t use my hand throughout the test. When I got to part 6, we had to identify different slides and name them. My friend sitting next to me asked me “what was number 9?” I saw my teacher looking at me and ignored my friend. Right after, my teacher called me outside of the classroom and I was very apologetic and told her I didn’t even reply to my friend when she asked. But my teacher then said “no, what is that?” And pointed at my hand. It was faded and illegible to read and I hadn’t looked at it the whole test. But she’s convinced she saw me. I had to plea to not make a big scene when we went back into the classroom. She then told me I received a 0 on the test and I will be receiving a referral. I am going to get kicked out of National Honors Society and possibly National Dance Honors Society. Will I still be able to get into a good college? I’m so worried. I wanted to get into The University of Maryland, College Park, but it looks like that dream is gone. Please help.
