" Many think that the short term gain will be worth the long term pain, but it isn't" -  George Mitchell  

I think this statement is true. The reason being is because although you think you are doing good and doing things to better yourself you are going to feel worse. For example cheating to get good grades, you might feel smart at first but sooner or later you will feel dumb. When an assignment where you can't actually cheat on comes you will sit there regretting it and thinking you are actually dumb. You will feel very bad about cheating because you realized you did not actually improve you just took the easy route. Cheating in sports is a horrible thing also. An example would be using steroids, you will think you are the best at first. As time passes on you will then realize you are not the best if you needed that substance to succeed. You will then realize that you need to work hard to be the best and you will feel bad and guilty and whatever award or medal you have will be haunting you. You will feel bad for the others who did not cheat and still did not win the people who have worked hard their entire life. Remember to choose the right and never cheat.    

  '' I won't cheat"- Dale Murphy 

This phrase is a really good motto to go by. When you cheat it can cause lots of damage. It can be cheating on a test, sports, or even your significant other. Cheating on tests are bad because lets say you are studying to become a doctor but cheat on every exam when you actually get the job you will not know what to do. That can create multiple problems and you can also risk someone's life. When you cheat when playing a sport it you are taking another person's chances of winning when he is doing it fairly. If you get caught cheating they can easily take away the title from you. If you don't get caught though then you will know deep in your heart that you did not deserve it and that you are not as good as the title represents. When you cheat on a person it hurts them so much they will wonder what they did and they will blame themselves and doing that to a person will hurt you and you will get your karma.    

“Honesty, YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT”

          This video talks about cheating. Two teenage girls were taking a test and one of the girl studied and knew the answers and the other one did not.the girl who did not study then saw the teacher was not looking she took that opportunity to ask the girl who did study what the answer was. The girl who knew the answers was contemplating if she should give her the answers, she did not because it was not the right thing to do.They also talked about how in medical school one courageous soul stood up and said he was gonna tell if he saw anyone cheating because they were all doing it. They were telling us that integrity is better and we should try to achieve things ourselves.
