Academic Integrity: Academic Integrity is where a student displays a show of how honest they could be in chasing a higher education; putting their best efforts into getting better grades.
It is important to have integrity in all areas of life as it will make you more trustworthy of a person that can be seen to take care of what needs to be done. The need to cut corners and lie won't leak into the more important parts of your life.
I demonstrated integrity by doing all the hard busy work that I had deemed pointless.
My grades, and my mind. I have always been taught that hard work the only way you can get what you want, lying and cheating don't get you anywhere in life; they don't prepare you for the real world. My mind would haunt me with the knowledge that it wasn't I who got me too where I am, I wouldn't be able to sleep at night.
