Thursday the 10th we are having a barbeque with everyone from ISA where everyone who has time has to bring some food or a snack. I signed up for bringing something, however, I knew that I was not going to be able to/did not have the time go to the grocery store to buy what was needed. When I say this, I know this is dishonest, because of course I could have found 30 minutes to go to the grocery store to pick up a salad. However, instead of being honest and saying that I did not believe I had the time to go pick up something at the grocery store, I said that I was going to come right after practice (which is true) and I was not sure whether or not I could make the barbeque because of my practice – not true. I knew I was being dishonest, and that it was not being a Good Samaritan, nonetheless, I did not feel like I had the time to go to the grocery store to buy something for the barbeque. It made me feel bad for lying, especially because they were making a great event for everyone, and I felt like a bad person for being dishonest. Thinking in an aspect of other points of views, it would have been awful if I would have said that “I just did not want to go to the grocery store” or “I cannot find 30 minutes to buy a snack for the barbeque”, because everyone else was helping out. I wanted to be honest, however, it felt like it would have given me a bad image. In the end though, I think it made me think poorer about myself than anyone else would think, which is actually a good thing, because then I will think more about my actions in the future and whether or not I am being
