Week Four of the Semester

I have decided this week that I love to blog. I really do it everyday on my facebook page. I am going to try to blog on here more than once a week for English Composition, because it allows be to vent my feelings when I need to. We learned about plagiarism in English this week. I have had some experience with this in the past. When I was in high school another student printed one of my papers of my computer, when they stayed the night at my house. She then turned my paper in as her own. Not knowing about this I turned in the same paper. I had to go through so much to prove that it was my work and not hers. I was even suspended for it pending the investigation. At the end it was proven the paper was mine, and all I got was an apology and my suspension taken off the record. The other student had to repeat the semester over again, but she never came back to school. I don't believe it is fair for someone to cheat, or steal something that is yours. This is my opinion, and I know opinions can differ somewhat. It is agaist my code of ethics personally and professionally.
