@ikooldiscovery (in #17): “who wants you to say behind in life/ struggle in the college process.”
You simple could not be more incorrect nor more ignorant of what I want – and hope – for the OP. I sincerely want the OP to succeed in life and in college, to be extremely happy and satisfied, and to do so with honor. I know, from sixty-eight years of living, that:
- Cheating, dishonesty, and unethical conduct is highly likely to become addictive – cheat a little at seventeen and you’re very liable to cheat a lot at thirty or forty. I expect you’ll disagree with this, but it is the stuff of Biblical, Grecian, and Shakespearian tragedies, so it is very real and it has plagued mankind for many centuries.
- The way to arrest this addiction is to face the consequences stoically and to use the adverse experiences – and the concomitant pain – to alter behavior and values permanently.
