Project #2 Scholarship
Dear scholarship committee, Throughout my short, 18 year old life, many people have asked me the question: "What do you want to be when you grow up?" From when I was a child, I have always responded with: "Baseball player." During all four of my years at high school, I attended many showcases and travel leagues to show off my playing abilities.

A little disappointing but gave me the strength and desire to do something about it. The first few

Essay about Integrity: Academic Dishonesty

part of the overall system of academia. Though throughout the history of scholarship, plagiarism has appeared as it's an inevitable human error.

The act of using someone else's ideas, words…
