Desires over Ethics

Posted By Twyla on March 12, 2008 @ 4:40 pm

When I was in college, I was struggling financially. It was nothing new to me, as I grew up in a very poor and dysfunctional family. I was very smart growing up and this is the only reason I was able to even go to college in the first place.  I found the classes to be very easy, but I did not know if I could stick it out if I did not come up with some sort of income. That is when I decided that I would sell a custom term paper.

I knew that it was not very ethical, but I also thought it would be a terrible waste if I had to quit school, so I did what I had to do to survive. It all started with me selling just one custom research paper. I made enough money to last me a month with that sale. I felt bad, but deep down, I was so glad to be able to stay in school. The last place I wanted to go was home.

Soon, I had all kinds of people coming up to me and asking to buy essays. I decided that selling a few more would not hurt. It also helped that I really enjoyed writing essays. I decided to go for it and for the first time in my entire life, I did not have to worry about money. I had a steady stream of it coming in and I even afforded the luxury of buying new clothes, which was something that I never had my entire life.

Maybe what I did was wrong, but is it so wrong that I just wanted a good education?
