Year 1: Ethics

Excerpt from essay about personal experience with dishonesty:

"Did I learn my lesson? Did I ever. I learned more lessons from that situation than I learned that entire semester of college. And while I can’t say that I will never lie again. Though I do my best not to. I can say that I will never cheat. I most certainly never set out to steal nor would I ever for a moment think to again. I will be more cautious of the friends I make. I will be more careful about whom I give my heart to. I will be more conscious of my actions. I will hold confidences just as such. I will be a better friend, lover and confidant because of my past. I am a better person because of my past mistakes.

After all of this I think that the biggest lesson I learned is this: Honesty really is the best policy."
