The Tipping Point Chapter Four

Lying & Cheating:
Lying and cheating are very similar. For some people it is a lifestyle. Some people are just liars. It does not surprise me that students do better on take home tests because they do have the oppurtunity to cheat. And more than likely, at least half of them will. Cheating and lying are wrong most of the time, and everyone knows that. But, that still won't stop people from doing it.

Good Samaritan:
When I see someone hurt, I try my best to help them. If they are not recieving help, I would deffiently try to help them out. For instance, a little over a month ago, my family and I were coming home from Toledo, and the roads were completely frozen over with ice. As we stopped at a stop light, we saw two cars collide. I immediatly told my Dad to call 911, but luckily they recieved help immediatly. I wanted to stop to make sure they were okay, and we waited until we saw people get out of the car, unharmed. I would stop in almost any condition. Even if I was late to someone 9 times out of 10, I would stop, unless I was like on the way to a funeral or to see someone on their death bed. But I would call 911 on my way.

That's exactly how I feel. I'm not good at talking in or out of class, but online I feel fine because I don't have to worry about sounding stupid as much. I care way too much about what people think of me. I'm not too good at voicing my opinions, but I do better online than in class because I don't have to see peoples reactions.
