Does honesty really get you anywhere?

I agree with lilygraces. I’d rather be honest than a corrupt business person. Money isn’t everything. I’d rather not live with any regrets. And if you do everything with integrity, you’ll be proud of everything you’ve done. You’d be happier.

And yet I’ve already heard from my friends how they embellished their college applications (aka say they worked 20 hours a week instead of 8-10, said they spend 5 hours a week on key club instead of 2, etc). That’s their choice, but it makes me sad that they did that.
