So Much Unfairness Of Things!

Phillip Sadler Wilkinson a.k.a P.S was severely punished for cheating on his Latin exam. P.S did plan on cheating but when the exam came, he felt that cheating was the only way he could pass the exam. He felt that if he failed the exam again for the second time that his father would be disappointed in him and that he wouldn’t be forgiven. When P.S was near the end of the exam he only needed 15 more points to get the passing grade, but he didn’t know how to complete the last part of the exam. He remembered that the passage on the exam was on his paper, which was inside of his desk. P.S decided that the only way he could pass the test was to look on the paper and copy the answers, and P.S did just this. P.S was eventually caught and his punishment was to be expelled from the school. I feel that this was the correct punishment, because he did cheat and he broke the rules. He knew what the consequences that followed if he did get caught cheating. I also believed that the treatments from the staff, friends, and his father were agreeable. The staff treated him nicely to my surprise except Nelson, who wouldn’t shut up. Everyone else believed that he never meant to cheat but that it was just a mistake that sadly ended in an expulsion. But his father realized that he never had a true relationship with his son, and that he was one of the reasons why Phillip cheated in the first place. His father was not angry at him, because he knew it was partly his own fault. His friends did not treat him differently as for Phillip as well. So overall Phillip’s punishment was not all that bad as it could have been.

SENTENCES!!!

The last meal i had at a restaurant was a hamburger.

Reading is something i intensely dislike.

The full moon looked pretty last nigh.

Smiling is one of my favorite local expression.

Sometimes its best to listen to the teacher while he or she is talking.

Walle is the best movie I've seen so far this year.

And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to
hanging out with my boyfriend. Tomorrow my plans include cleaning my room and doing homework, and Sunday i want to hang out with my friends.

Certain life situation

In my life, I have met many different people. Sometimes I make assumptions about that person even before I meet them. I don’t mean to, but it just happens. It is just an instinct. There have been many scenarios where I thought someone was really mean, but once I started to get to know them, it was the complete opposite. You can’t judge a book by its cover, until you see for yourself. I know I am not innocent on this, but if your friend has an opinion about a specific person, you need to check that person out yourself to see if what was said about them was actually true.
There was a situation in my life where I changed my opinion about someone I knew. The first year I attended Orchard, there was this guy in my grade that was supposedly a big jerk and a big player. Well when I first met him it seemed like all he wanted to do is flirt with me, so then I knew that he was a player liked everyone said. But as the days went on, I started talking to him more and I really thought he wasn’t a jerk or that big of a player. I just assumed he was, because some people in my grade thought he was. I just felt bad, because instead of talking to him and getting to know who he really was inside, I just agreed and went along with everyone else. As the years went by we became really good friends and people asked me why I was talking to him, but I just would say you only see what is on the outside and not what is truly on the inside.
In this certain situation, I judged a boy, now a good friend of mine, because of what other people told me. I didn’t take it upon myself and find out what kind of person he really was. So the lesson I learned was to not judge a book by its cover or listen to what other people’s opinions are, because in the end their opinion doesn’t matter, yours is the one that counts.

HELLO
