#22: Cheaters Never Prosper
Once, when I was about 10 years old, I didn’t want to participate in gym class, so when no one was looking, I slipped away and hid behind a pile of mats for the entire class. At the time, I thought I was so clever, but in retrospect, I bet the teacher knew exactly where I was the whole time and just didn’t want to deal with it.
I get that same energy from this confession. Kids who are cheating in class think that they are so clever, but I bet you that the teacher is aware of it a lot of the time. After all, they’re older and wiser and have a lot of experience; you are not the first person who has tried to cheat in their class, I’m sure. And if you are unlucky, your teacher might just be petty enough to do this to you.
