“Listen”

There was a kid failing a class and needed to do well on his next test, but he didn’t know what to do. He decides that he is going to cheat on the next so he could bring his grades. He starts thinking for a while then realizes that cheating on a test won’t help him on future test. He knows he might do well short term, but in the future he still won’t get the subject. Then he starts thinking of what would happen to him if he was caught. He knows that cheating will result in an automatique zero, which he knows is worse than having no points at all and will hurt his grades even more. He also knows that he could get into trouble not only with school, but with his parents. To help him in his decision, he consults his neighbor who he can count on for advice. He ask him about cheating and his neighbor said it is not worth it. His neighbor told about how he cheated and ended up being kicked off the basketball team. After the advice and the thinking, he starts to believe that maybe quitting wouldn’t be the best thing to do after all. He started praying to God for help on his decision and then all of a sudden he receives a phone call. It was a friend who said he was studying for their next test and that maybe they could study together. So they studied and helped each other out with things that seemed confusing. He decides to not cheat and he received a passing grade on his next test which raised his grades.
