Cheating

Is cheating really that bad? Well from personal experience I would say yes, especially at Des Moines Christian School, well at Valley all they have to do if they get caught is be expelled, but at Des Moines Christian School you get zero credit for the assignment, you have to have a parent teacher student principal conference, write a paper about why cheating is bad (which I didn't do because I'm a rebel), and on top of all that you have to apologize to your whole class which is pretty embarrassing, especially since I have such a high reputation to up hold. Everybody knows me as oh Mark yeah he's that crazy Egyptian with the fro, and I don't want to disappoint anyone I mean people depend on me. But to be serious for a bit cheating is a big deal because you are lying to your parents and teacher and it isn't what God wants for your life if you are truly walking with God and you screw up you will have consequences but it will make you stronger he is just pruning you for the time being, you basically just took the hard route of learning, learning from your mistakes. I have learned quite a lot from this whole ordeal and I hope that remember what I have learned always keeping it in the back of my mind so I don't slack off or just stop caring which is frequent to happen. Cheating doesn't get you ahead because you spend time trying to cheat the best possible way which is as much time it would take to actually write it and then if you get caught which is bound to happen you have to write another paper about why cheating is bad which is a big waste of time, especially when I have two lips and I could tell him why cheating is bad but he wants me to go through the agony of writing (which I hate) a blasted paper. So be it, I will write him a paper and it will be the best paper he has ever read in his whole entire existence, he will be so amazed and awed he will say things like "What a fine paper this young gentlemen has written" or
