It is very difficult for me to find the words necessary to express my feelings of regret and shame for my poor judgment in working with another student on our assignment . My action shames me , my family , and everyone of my culture . I have no excuse for my action and take full responsibility . I know I can never erase the pain and damage I have caused . I can only hope to have the chance to prove this incident was very much outside of

my personal character and I know it my heart I will prove I have learned a terrible but important lesson I cannot do again

I now realize there are situations in which I must be completely individual in my efforts . Other times I am free to work with others on a group project . In school and in the workplace I will first be noticed on those actions and achievements that I am the only one who is accountable . It will only be then that I can work together with others to contribute to a common project . To confuse these different situations presents a very false and deceptive appearance to our professors or superiors

To make matters worse my action was very much different than the way in which I was raised and taught . By my family and by others of my background I was also taught that honesty is one of the greatest thing I can show to others . This has been one of the saddest time of my life and I can only hope others do not believe my family or my culture is as dishonest as I have been . I have now learned that I must always be honest in what I do and then maybe others will consider what a great family and culture I have . I do not want to be a bad example that others have to value all of us

This horrible thing will stay with me for all of time . I must now show to all that this is not a true part of my character . It will make me be honest at all times so I do not have again this shame . I do not have words to tell how much thanks I feel for being given a chance to show these good things in all of my future studies and work . This is also something I am very thankful for in the way I was raised and what I saw in others with my same culture . I must not let this bad thing ruin me and must now go past it to never have it happen again . I must also be as good to others as it has been shown to me by having been given another chance

I know I am not perfect and can make mistakes in future things I do But I will now think very closely before I do anything that may cause such shame . I will...
