Copying in a work


In my first blog i talked about how I almost got suspended because of copying in a lab. Since that day, I promised myself that I was never going to copy a big work again. But guess what? I broke my promise. About 1 month ago, Mr. Balata gave us a homework where we needed to watch a 45 minute video to answer some questions. I totally forgot about that homework, and the day we needed to upload it, was my sisters wedding. At the middle of the day I remembered that we had that homework, I wanted to die because I thought that if I didn't did it, Mr. Balata was going to think bad about me. Then I remembered that in a group that I have, someone sent a photo with the answers, I didn't have an option, it was either zero or to copy. I decided to copy, I changed some things of the work and upload it. I was scared because I felt that Mr. Balata was going to notice. 
The next week I had class with him, and nothing, so I thought that everything was okay. The next class he had some works pasted in the wall, I immediately knew that one of those works was mine. I was very scared because I didn't wanted to get suspended. At the end of the class, I stayed with him and told him that one of those works was mine. He was really upset, then he told me, "you were in a hurry right?".
"Yes, it was the day of my sisters wedding and I remembered that day" I replied in a shy way. 
"You should've done it before that day if you had that special event" he told me.
I didn't knew what to say anymore, "i know, but I really forgot, Im sorry" i said.
He told me he didn't wanted to gave me a big punishment.
Then I told him, "I know that what I did was very wrong but, you were a student some time ago, and I'm sure that you copied sometime."
He told me that I was totally right, so I made him understand me a little better, I was really scared for my punishment, but then he told me that he was going to get me a very little punishment.

I was very upset with myself that I copied in a very big work, but sometimes you need to live things that you may be a little scared of, that little things are what make yourself understand what's wrong and what's okay to do.

Blog 2


Dancing is something that I have been doing since I was 9 years old. I started with ballet, tap, and jazz, i loved all of them. I started to see other classes and i realized that there were also hip-hop classes, I didn't liked it very much but the class looked pretty cool. I told my mom that I also wanted to be in that class so she told me to come until next month. Then I was in all the 4 classes that i could be.
I danced for like 2 years in all those classes and then i got bored, I didn't liked hip-hip any more. I got  out of the class that I didn't liked any more and got into aerial skills and in another class of ballet but it was in points. I liked a lot all that classes so i stayed there for another 2 years.

One day I was in jazz class and we were trying some new things, I did one thing that I was very scared to do, it was a turn and from that turn I went to the floor to make a split, that is like one leg in front and the other leg you sent it back. I couldn't make the split all the way down, so when i did it with all the impulse, i almost got all the way down. It felt horrible and it hurt a lot, I thought it was just the pain of the moment but no, it continued hurting for like 2 weeks. I obviously knew that it wasn't normal so I told my mom to take me to the doctor. I went to the doctor and he told me that was not going to be able to dance in 2 months and that I needed some therapies. I was very scared because I had never went to therapies and it a very long time for me not to dance. So, I couldn't dance in the 2 months, it was very boring to stay in home all day doing nothing, i don't understand how people can do nothing in all the day.

This is the worst thing that it have happened to me during my dance classes. Till the date, i still have problems in the groin, some times it hurts horrible, and sometimes is as if anything have happened.

blog 1

It was a normal day in school. I was in science class doing a lab about the moon. The lab was very hard to understand, we needed a box and a flash light, we needed to make a hole in the box and the bow was going to show us how the moon is placed. It was very hard and that work had a very high. There were like 10 minutes of class left and I had nothing done. The first thing I thought about doing was to copy the lab from some one else. I started to copy the work from my friend and Mr. Chichester noticed. He was very disappointed and mad, he didn’t think of it twice and he send me to the office. He told me, "Why did you copy if I was offering my help to you?" 
"I don't know, at first i thought I was doing the work right and then noticed that no," i said.
"You know that what you did is very bad and will have a big consequence right?" he told me.
I had nothing more to say, i just told him yes.
 I was very nervous of what was going to happen, first I was sent with Ms. Maty, she told me that what I did was very bad and that I was going to be punished with a suspension. Then, she send me with Mr. B, he is very scary and he told me to explain what happened, I was so scared that I started to cry. I explained to him what happened and he told me a lot of thing of why it’s so bad to copy. He gave me an opportunity and instead of giving me suspension, he gave me 3 Fridays. It’s almost the same but I was more scared of a suspension.

That’s the story of the first Friday that I had. Now I was been more careful when I copy a work, I don’t want to be caught again. I feel that if I copy, and get caught again, I will be sent to the office.
