Itś no wonder Ive been depressed the majority of my lifetime. I live in a world where kindness is punishable. I was reprimanded by my professor during a quiz today. The seats and desks are really squished together, so you can easily see the desktop of the fellow student next to you. You don´t even have to use your peripheral vision. Anyways, the girl next to me today quietly remarked in the middle of the quiz that her textbook (it was open-book) was missing a page. I know that she could have lost or accidentally ripped the page out herself, but my instant nature is empathy. I gave her my book, since I was on the last question and I found the answer in my notes. She used the book, and then I realized that I still needed it. I asked if she was done with it, and this is when our Professor zeros in on our whisper-fest. She tells us that we must take the rest of the test separately from each other and makes my neighbor scoot over a desk. Then she tells us that if anyone speaks to anyone else during the quiz, next time she will throw out your papers. Itś been a while since I got ¨in trouble." But again, I get screwed in the end for doing what I would hope someone else would do for me. I was trying to be helpful. I wish I could force myself to care less.

Yo Kat! Don't feel so dejected. Unfortunately, many studies say that cheating at universities are on the rise, so many o' professor are feeling like they have to play referee because of that. Don't take it personally. I hope you explained the whole situation to your prof at the end of class so that she doesn't keep the impression that you two are cheaters. I think following up with that will go a long way in clearing up this kind of misunderstanding and rebuild your confidences between you.

Ideally the other student should have immediately brought her problem to the prof's attention and publicly asked if she could borrow the book from those who'd completed the quiz. That way she doesn't get any other students unnecessarily involved with her problem.

Anyway, don't let your attempt to be a Good Samaritan get you down.
 
I know sometimes you are trying to help someone and get in trouble for trying to do the right thing.
Don't let that stop you in doing what you think is right ;)
 
Post a Comment
This is where I post my daily photos, thoughts and rants. I can whine and complain, or share my attempt at humor and retarded stories of tripping up steps or walking into poles. Perhaps I can make a small contribution to making the world, or at least my world, a happier place. Oh, and please feel free to comment! Unless it's mean. That wouldn't be good for my self esteem. Nor would it be good for your conscience and/or karma.
