<p>"I am hoping that a university will be willing to take a chance on me to prove myself and show that I am sorry and that I have learned from my mistake. I don’t need two years to see that I have made a dire mistake that could have been easily avoided. I realize that already. I need a chance to finish my education so that I can go on to provide for me and my future family. After all, don’t schools exist to help people better their lives? "</p>
<p>The university has taken at least 3 chances on you: by accepting you and by not permanently kicking you out the 2 times that you plagiarized.</p>
<p>You can help provide for your family by getting a job – or perhaps working a fulltime job along with one or two parttime jobs-- during your 2-year suspension. Seems that also would be a good way to begin to make up to your family for how your mistakes have hurt their lives.</p>
<p>You also could help yourself by taking full responsibility for those at least 2 plagiarism mistakes that you made. I say “at least 2” because I suspect that anyone who thought it was perfectly fine to turn in someone else’s paper probably didn’t get caught the first several times that they did something like that. I suspect that you did similar things in high school.</p>
<p>If you’re hoping for sympathy, I don’t think you’ll find it here from students or parents. You might find sympathy, however, by posting on a message board that serves thieves and similar criminals.</p>
