What was your last exam cheating experience in college?
I last cheated in an exam when I was in 8th standard. It was a class test. The subject was Hindi. The paper was really easy. I was able to answer it completely except just one question worth 0.5 marks. I knew if I get this answer, I'll get full marks. 20/20! But even after trying so hard, I couldn't remember the answer. Desperate to get a full score, I asked the person sitting next to me.We used to have 2 sets of papers. Set A and Set B. So we both had different papers, but still he told me the answer. I wrote the answer and was happy that I'll get 20/20.On the day the answer sheets were shown, as expected, I had secured 20/20. I happily went to my friends who were standing in a group and discussing who's got how much, and told them I have got 20/20. The boy who told me the answer on the exam day was also standing there. He also had secured 20/20. And he said, "Actually tere 19.5 hone chahiye. Wo to maine tujhe ek answer bta diya tha isiliye tere 20/20 aa gye". (translation: Actually, you should have secured 19.5 marks. It was just because I happened to tell you an answer that you got 20/20).Everybody started looking at me. They kept saying, I cheated to get 20/20 and I am bragging about it and I am such a shameless person. That day, I felt so embarrassed that I literally felt like crying. I was a good student in school. Always finished in top 5 of my class. I never felt so insulted before. For me those marks were like a beggar's coins. I had to beg to someone to get them. That day I vowed to never cheat again in my life. Most of my friends laughed at me. But I held onto my decision. 6 years later, now here I am, at an IIT, doing my B.tech and I still don't cheat in an exam. I try to sit on the first bench just in front of the invigilator so that I don't have to care about someone whispering me to ask a question.For those who are laughing while reading this answer and thinking, "LOL this is so stupid", "So childish", "a fake story. Everybody cheats", etc etc. No. Not everyone is like you. Some people value self respect more than marks. I would rather be happy scoring 10/20 myself than scoring 20/20, out of which I cheated for about 15 marks from someone else.
What was your first car?
Fully loaded 2005 Chrysler 300C. With a 5.7L Hemi V8. It was my dream car.Purchased in September of 2013 for 8,250 dollars. About a month after my 18th birthday.I worked my ass off to pay for that car.In January of 2013 I had a whopping 6 dollars in my bank account.In 2013 I was still in High School. But second semester I only had two classes. I would get to school around 9:30 am, leave about 12:00 pm and go straight to work.I graduated in June of 2013 got an increase in my hours and by the time I went to purchase the car in September I had about 15,000 dollars.It taught me that hard work comes with reward.This is it 4 years later lowered on Coil-overs. Sitting on 20 inch 12 spoke wheels. The side molding is gone as of today.Most people don’t even know I own it. Its treated like a baby. Doesn't have so much as a smudge in it. Nobody believes its 13 years old.It really hasn't cost me any money. Other a front end brake job and a couple sensors going the car has been a dream to own.This car holds a lot of sentimental value. But things change and I’m probably going to be selling it soon. That’ll be a sad day.
