Many times I often look at my experiences that have happened to me in life and either I reflect on the experience as to what message came out of it or what blessing came from the situation. Often times, my trials give me the gift of endurance, so that I have the courage to move on and learn from the trial. Many times while I am going through a circumstance, I often wonder why I am going through that experience. Even though I am not meant to understand why circumstances happen, I know that they have not only helped me to learn, they have influenced how I behave and I have gained wisdom from these lessons. Therefore, often when I have a trial, just based off of the wisdom and the strength I produce from the trial, I “count …show more content…

While we were all created differently, some people may have the same idea as me, for example, in the discussion posts, so they may not necessarily be cheating off of me. Also, while my belief is still confirmed, that I am against cheating, I realized that it’s important to understand why someone may have cheated.
Lang states that people cheat because “It is an inappropriate response to a learning environment that wasn’t working for the student” (Lang, page 1, para 3) If I look back at most of my college courses, this makes sense now on why colleges have students fill out the surveys at the end of the course. It is feedback from the students on how the facility can improve teaching methods to help prevent cheating and students from failing.
It is important to look back on my life circumstances and reflect on the circumstances to see what lessons I have learned. These lessons will ultimately help me to do things differently
