The worst thing I've ever done is...
The university I went to gave me a huge scholarship which was supposed to last only four years. At the end of those four years, I completed my degree in computing science but I wanted to continue and study contemporary dance. But there was no way I could afford it without a scholarship. But it turns out that due to a glitch in the registration system, the school continued to not charge me tuition. I mean, they didn't give me cash anymore, but I didn't have to pay for my classes. So without telling the school, I continued to take classes in dance without paying for them. Eventually I got caught, and I had to pay for classes for a year. I felt like I had betrayed the trust of the person who gave me the scholarship in the first place, a decent fellow who trusted me and believed in me.
But the best thing I've ever done is...
Use my university degree to do good, for free. I'm volunteering my time to create a website on using Knowledge Management for Poverty Alleviation, and also to create a web portal for independent artists in the developing country I live in.
I do a lot of things which I think are good, actually. I volunteer for many non-profit groups dealing with gender, poverty, and the arts, where i do advocacy, computer support, publicity design.
I just feel really bad about what I did in uni, trying to sneak away with a degree without paying for it. |
