I would keep the old essay. For one essay, you have a situation which you rose to the occasion. For the other situation, you didn’t (though it’s not a situation of ethics and it’s not something to feel bad about.) Regardless, in job interviews or college apps, you are generally better off answering with something which reflects you in the best light.

In four years when a job interviewer asks you, “What is your biggest weakness?” they don’t want to hear that you’re lazy sometimes.
