It feels the same

Exam around the corner, students freaking out, question leaks, everyone grabs a pencil and paper, start jotting them down while you just stay away, doing the right thing that hurts. Wait, isn't that what my sis posted about her experience in university? Well, it's happening to me, the brother. How ironic.

After the last class, one of my friends from the Accounts class shared with us the questions coming out from Sejarah. It seems the teacher went in with the exam paper and as he was flipping the pages, he asked them to study what directly. I was already out of the class when my friend told me about the tips and I went in there to check whether it was true. To be honest, I was tempted to copy as well although I knew the right thing to do was not to but the fear of being one of the lowest in class and the gleeful faces of my friends didn't really help. I took a quick glance and decided to walk out of the classroom while they remained inside copying.

As I was walking out of the school entrance, my classmate bumped into me. He asked me whether it was true that they were copying questions and I nodded my head. Then he said he wanted to copy as well, which was like adding injury to my injury. So I went back without copying. It's really weird, reading about someone's experience and experiencing it yourself. Like Shuen, I felt cheated (I think everyone does) as well but still, the knowledge of greater reward stored up in heaven helped $_$ ! I felt like I made a big sacrifice for God in this matter but that was just stupid thinking, realy stupid (Sorry ya, use this word twice only). I remembered what dad preached in church:

"You may be thinking you sacrificed a lot for God, but remember that God sacrificed much, much more than you could imagine."

And to think that God's reward for sacrificing for us was death. I guess what really helped me to resist the temptation was God constantly telling me it's wrong and big sis' post. So for any of those who are juggling between your exams and doing the right thing, you are not alone. The reason why Shuen and I were able to do it was not because we were brought up in the same family or anything, but it's because we have God.

You too, have the same God, and that is all that really matters.
