A follow up about my situation...

I messed up... badly. And I let myself down, a long with you and many others. It's a long story, but I spoke too soon, and now I'm NOT graduating. It wasn't because I did bad on the test today, in fact, I didn't take the test at all. There was no point in it, I got help from a friend earlier this week, and I shouldn't have taken that "type" of help. I got caught, and a zero was given for my assignment. It brought down my grade dramatically, and I failed. I can't do anything but make up for my mistakes. I did tell a lot of you that I was graduating, I was that confident in myself, as well as I should have. My friend had offered the notes to me to turn in, so I wouldn't have to worry about that particular assignment. I used my extra time from that assignment towards my other assignments. She also gave this assignment to two other kids, including herself. I, unknowingly, handed mine in. I thought I was the only one in my class who had turned in these notes, I was wrong. My teacher got two of the exact same papers, and it became obvious to my teacher that it wasn't our work. I did not forge or copy, I cheated by taking an easy way out. I can do nothing but learn from this. I have never cheated before, nor will I cheat again.

To avoid all possible chaos, I am going to take summer classes and make up for what I have lost. My goal is to not only pass, but to get an 'A' in the class, I get another chance, why not take advantage of it. I havn't succeeded, but I havn't failed . Again, I'm sorry.

Awwww Kenz....sorry it all didn't work out. I know you will take this experience and learn from it. Kick some ass in that class!

I'm proud of you, Kenzie, for admitting your mistake. It's always tempting to take the easy path and you learned a hard, valuable lesson. Better to learn these lessons at the age of 17. I heart you, Kenz!

Kenz: If we didn't make mistakes in life, we'd never evolve as people. You're a fine person and an honorable soul and we think even more of you for admitting a mistake. You will graduate, no worries. And you'll be a stronger person.
