Have you ever wondered what marks our timing? If one life can really make an impact to the world or if the choices we make matter? Sometimes in order to move forward, you have to go back. In this case, just for a few minutes.
Cheating, it's very common in our country. Whether it's the act of the students, teachers, families or leaders of the nation. People in this world are now in a state wherein they have been blinded by power, neglecting integrity.
It's ironic that we teach the youth to do good, yet we know for a fact that we are also the reason of mischief in this nation. It's a shame that after we teach them good things, they'll still end up into something unworthy. Instead of living the good side, innocent people can be influenced by the unkindness of the society. It will lead into bigger problems than what it is now.
We all know that students cheat to pass. It's a remarkable thing for them because it can easily get them to something that will satisfy them. Though it's a very desperate thing to do, they still prefer this as an easy way out to spare there time reviewing. Students call it "TEAMWORK" in class. They unite with there classmates for they mistake cheating as a good thing.
"Once you cheat, you are now no longer part of the solution anymore; you are going to be very much part of the problem." Prof. Monsod said. I don't want or will not be part of those who exacerbate more on the country's problem. I'm going to be part of the solution. It's the choice we make that matters.
From the time being, cheating can cause us good or bad outcomes but it's never the best solution. If we are knowledgeable enough, we wouldn't have to think twice of doing what's bad.
We need to take a few minutes to commence and think. If only we could undo the wrong doings that we've done and if only we have good leaders, our world would've been a Utopia.
We should be responsible enough to know our priorities to our country. We are the members of the nation and change is within us.
Cheating is inevitable, but it shouldn't go further from what it has done.
I am a student, not just a student; I am a member of this nation. I may not make a huge change, but I could do something. I'll start by dedicating my time and effort in studying hard. I know for a fact that it will lead me into something great. It's a good start for a common purpose, Honor and Excellence.
