WHERE IS THE HONESTY OF CAMPUSERS

WHERE DID HONESTY GO?

It’s hard to imagine that today, in an era where everything has been eased by education civility reigns and you expect people to be honest to themselves.

However the more honest you are, the more foolish you are assumed to be and at times it becomes difficult to be honest but does this justify wrong doing? Why should we always hide in the dark just because we fear to be fooled?

Comrades, a few days ago a friend of mine and I were engaged in a heated debate that demanded answers that both of us could hardly produce. The argument was about missing marks, loss of course work and plagiarism. This discussion had been triggered by my friend who for a full month had been spending his nights awake owing to failure to locate his missing course work. He had had numerous thoughts about how he would appear in the preceding year’s class to master it what most campusers regard as the ‘undesirable’, retake.

Sure enough as he was, that someone could possibly have taken his course work paper, he did not give up. On a cool Monday mid-morning, standing with his eyes wide open suspicious to any one that appeared with a piece of paper. At that time I can confirm to you that he did not own his heart as all the efforts to recover his lost course work seemed futile.

While he was still standing in the corridors of this gigantic building called arts block, a brown lady appears holding disorganized papers and seemed to have stolen them. I quickly bump into her and on checking the paper; it was a friend’s course work paper.

To his annoyance, the lady had plucked off his page cover and covered it with hers with the different names. Surprising enough the lady who claimed a friend of hers had given it to her to hand it in for her.

This was an irritating moment for her and most of her friends who were around her. I honestly feel that we should be ourselves before we assume who we are not. It costs nothing to remain one’s self and work not towards the down fall of others but rather towards the rise of all of us.
