In the story of Philip Sadler Wikinson and his decision in cheating he is punished, fairly or not that, is for you to decide. P.S. is caught cheating and feels extremely guilty. He thinks he has let down his friends and family, but later finds out it only brought them closer. Throughout the story he is never felt very close to his father and when he cheats he thought it would push them farther apart.
After Philip is turned in for cheating the life took an interesting turn. No one ever expected that Philip would be caught cheating. After he admits to his mistakes he is expelled. A punishment he dissevered because he broke a code that he said he’d never break. Although he is banned from the school it will always remain a major part of his life.
Since he was expelled it opened his father’s eyes that hey weren’t close. It took him a while because he was very close with his father and didn’t know why he and his son were so far apart. Everything that was going through Philip’s mind when his dad entered the room was entirely different from what was going through his dad’s head. His whole family went to this school and now that he is being kicked out and he is breaking the legacy. He would have to face his family but he wasn’t worried because he knew his dad would be by his side.
This whole experience was a valuable lesson for Philip and his father and he will never forget his biggest lie and what happen to him.

Stuff
The last meal I had at a restaurant was a cheeseburger
Carrots is something I intensely dislike
The full moon is cool
Laughing is one of my favorite local expressions
Sometimes it's best to be quite when some else is talking
Pineapple Express is the best movie I've seen this year
And as far the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to seeing friends, Tomorrow my plans include stuff, and Sunday I want to watch football
My Teacher
When I was about eleven and completing 5th grade, my parents and I decided that the school I was at was not the right one. So my parents decided to remove me from the school and bring me to a new one. When I changed schools I knew no one and didn’t really know what to expect. At first, the teachers were supportive and kind. The first few days in the new school were fun and memorable. In sixth grade I had a whole new group of friends that were nice and I expect will be friends for a long time.
Of the new teachers, there was one teacher who stood out to be the cool teacher or the favorite teacher among my friends. In the beginning I agreed, but later I realized he was a man who had unrealistic expectations. My friends were much smarter than me in English; they seemed not to mind his expectations. My teacher just kept pushing me and pushing me until I gave up on him as he did on me. English was the one subject that I did not care for and he just made it worse. To top off the misery, if something went wrong in his class, I was always the one who was blamed. I received numerous detentions, for ridiculous reasons. I was frustrated and angered by his actions towards me.
The eight-grade year I’d avoid him the best I could. When I walked by his classroom he always saw me and called me out for something wrong with my appearance. Finally my days in middle school were over and I was done with that teacher, but he taught me to never jump to conclusions about a person.
