Well, if my memory serves me correctly, it was in seventh grade. At the time, I was trying to cheat on an exam. Why did I do this? Because I was a student who didn't cheat, while all of my classmates were writing answers or cheating from their smartphones during the exam. I wanted to try it, but as a result, my teacher, my chemistry teacher, caught me cheating because chemistry is one of the most difficult subjects for me. After she caught me, I was so embarrassed and very shy about cheating anyway. All of my classmates at the time were relaxed, and she didn't call them out. I didn't realize that she had caught me, so as a result, she showed my notebook. One of the things I learned is that it is much better to study at home and concentrate to have more details. Cheating is the most difficult thing.
