I’m not going to come back and argue, just make this one post.

I go to a high school where the competition for the top 6 or so positions is cutthroat. I managed to make my way to number 1 withOUT cheating. We’re talking that the difference between 3 and 4 is about .02, and I know the number 4 girl cheats like mad crazy. She gets the questions or answers or sometimes both to math tests beforehands, puts out extra sheets with her notes on them during history tests, etc. If she pulls ahead of the number 3 girl, is that right? (Who I know actually never cheats.) It’s sad, but she’ll probably pass her by midyear, and maybe she’ll ruin her chances at some college- some college that she actually deserved to go to. And this cheating girl will get in when she didn’t deserve it. She didn’t bust her ass, she just cheated - selfishly. I feel bad for you if you think that life is just a competiton because that’s no way to look for satisfaction in life.

P.S. Integrity is probably the most important attribute a person can have.
