So here is the situation, I had a B in AP Literature, and i really want to keep myself on B, so I did something that I really regret about, which is I cheated. today I got caught cheated on paper for a small part on copying the sparknotes and I got caught on cheated on quiz. Another one is that I got caught on writing in class essay (still writing after time is called) And he regarded it as cheating. The teacher is very disappointted, after I got caught I realized how stupid I’m and made such big mistake during the last year of high school and its on my behavior now. I cried in front of him, apologized, explained my motivations and asked for forgiveness. He noted 3times “cheating” in the grade report. He gave me zeros on the quiz instead of failing the course, and he also said he will report to the vice principal. Now i felt my life is ruined by my stupidness or sins. I realized college might be 100% rate reject me because of that. I had straight A in junior year, and 4.14 GPA overall. unweighted 3.75 I really want to get into UCs. But now I felt like the world is hostile to me, would colleges see and reject me?
I was so stressed out during that time period, SAT Test, Toefl test, college applications, AP courses, finals, are all integrated into one. parents’ pressure, fear of being falling behind, During the busiest month in my life, I only get four hours’ sleep everyday, I feel like my brain was drained, something wrong with my judgement, such irregular lifestyle languish my body. I ever felt such painfulness in my life with deeply sorrow and regret about what I have done.
I feel very frustrated and disappointed, what should I do? Will school kick me out or report it through the transcript? Will colleges see my senior year grades and ask me why I get a C or cheated on this? Currently I’m taking Ap Lit© AP Calc BC(A), AP Physics 2 (A), AP Art(A), Gov(B+), Bible( B+) Drama(A)
Ouch! I understand pressure but cheating is never the answer. It sounds like you lucked out that the teacher didn’t fail you in the course. Take the zero and the disciplinary write up. If you end up with a C grade for the AP lit class it’s not the end of the world. Know that this is a life lesson and just don’t do it again.
Stop reposting the same question several times in one day. And with regards to your situation, there’s nothing you can do. The world is not hostile. You messed up, not the world. A lot of us only got 4 hours of sleep or less during stressful times, you aren’t special. We all did things we regretted. Own up to what you did. You probably won’t be kicked out, but it will probably be a part of disciplinary report. Sucks but nothing you can do now.
