Stacy was not the smartest girl in her class, and she got very nervous when it was time to take tests. One day, she almost cheated by looking off her neighbors paper! Stacy thought about it, but she knew better, and completed the test on her own. After grades were handed out a couple days later she found out she passed with a high B! Stacy’s confidence went up, especially because she knew she made the right choice by doing the work herself. I think the author intended to write this story to help influence students and the decisions they make. I think the author wanted to show that everyone sometimes struggles when given an opportunity and it’s up to them to make the right choice.
