<p>Hey guys, so I got a really big problem on my hands. Ok so as well all know AP exams started last week and everything and I had to take those and stuff but my english teacher assigned us an essay on hamlet that was due last friday. With my job that I work from when I get home to around 11pm and AP exams, I literally had like no time to actually do it. So the night before, I plagiarized like 71% of it which of course I do realize how absolutely terrible that is and my teacher found out and now I'm really concerned about my punishment. Here's another issue, I quite literally have 2 days of school left until I graduate and I'm afraid that
1. They'll tell my college and get my acceptance rescinded
2. I'll fail the class and have to retake it
3. I'll get suspended which I would have to report to my college
My teacher said he's going to do everything he can to ensure that nothing really bad happens and he'll give me the opportunity to redo the paper but since my punishment is all in the hands of the honor council at my school, there's really nothing drastic he can do. this is my first ever high school offense and of course it's something huge coming right before I graduate.
After a meeting today with my advisor I found out that I wont get expelled which is a huge relief. However, I do believe that this will go on my permanent record which is now my worry. I got accepted to georgia tech back in november and now that this is on my record, do you think they'll rescind the acceptance? If so I'm soooo screwed...I'm going to have at least one (possibly 2) C's on my report card as well. man I screwed this semester up big time
Also, I don't know my specific punishment yet but I have my honor council trial tomorrow during which I will plead guilty and apologize. I wont know my punishment until Wednesday or Thursday and I'll be out of school by then and have started my senior exams so I'm guessing suspension isn't a possibility?</p>
<p>nearly 400 views and no response? come on there’s gotta be someone out there to help me out</p>
<p>Sorry, I don’t think anyone can help out. That’s a tough situation /: Hopefully if you explain your dilemma they’ll take it easy on you.</p>
<p>Perhaps you can learn from this experience . Nobody answered because they don’t know what to say . Obviously ,you made a mistake . Perhaps you could call the school and discuss this with them ?</p>
<p>
What do you expect us to say?? You already know who is in charge. If it were just your teacher it would be one thing. The fact your school has an honor council does not bode well for you. I foresee a suspension and them telling your college.</p>
<p>yea I guess you guys are right. I just wrote my statement that I’m going to present to the honor council tomorrow basically explaining my regret and why I felt it was necessary and asked if they could give me some leniency as this is my first ever offense. One of my friends told me that he and a few others talked to the honor council chair and tried to tell him go light with it but obviously there’s nothing they can do to help whatever punishment I receive. So many people are gonna be let down if they rescind my acceptance…this is all just really depressing. I haven’t eaten a full meal in days
we’ll see how it all goes tomorrow I guess</p>
<p>Let’s just say that this was a pivotal learning experience in your life. Remember, it is always fine to receive a zero than a black mark. I hope everything goes fine. Good luck! Keep your hopes up.</p>
<p>Update: everything went just about as terribly as I could have hoped for. I have to write an apology letter to my english teacher, I have an in school suspension, and they’re gonna tell georgia tech about it. So pretty much all I can do is pray that gtech doesn’t rescind me. My college counselor told me she’s never had anyone get rescinded for something like this but idk if those other kids had 2 c’s as well like I do. My english teacher also said he’s gonna write a letter to gtech and do everything he can so that I don’t get rescinded but im still really scared about my future
Oh and on top of all that, I still got a 0 on the paper</p>
