SOMEONE OUT HERE HELP ME!!?
Two weeks ago as I was walking to class, I had placed my bag on a seat so I could save it while I went to the bathroom. To my surprise, when I came back to class, my bag was missing. Likewise, in the same class, I found a missing bag and gave it in to the Lost and Found. However, when I was walking there, to turn the other bag in, I get a call saying that only my wallet had turned up. In all, $400 worth of stuff went missing.
I was very upset with the turn of events, and my classmates suggested that I take the iPod from the other bag as my compensation. I decided against it at first, but in my anger and frustration, I gave in. So when I returned the bag, I kept the iPod. The person who had reported her stuff missing, claimed that her iPod was missing, and though I denied it at first, I RETURNED it out of guilt and shame. However, REGARDLESS of my initial good will of returning her bag, she decided to press charges againt me.
I was arrested and had to spend a night in jail, which, I can say was not a fair or pleasant experience. Now, I am sentenced to ten days of community service and fined $120. I am still suspended from school, waiting for the Dean’s verdict.
I ask you now, what can his sanction be? I suspect that I might be suspended for a year. Which, I believe is unfair. I have never gotten in trouble, ever, in my life. I am a Junior majoring in Biology and Chemistry with a strong 3.1 GPA.
All I really ask is that my name be vindicated. I was wrongly stolen from, and though I had ill thoughts about taking the other person’s iPod, I returned it. I returned her bag, and inevitably returned ALL her belongings. What does that say about her gratitude? She pressed charges against me!
I just want to move on and forget this mess. I have gotten my professors to vouch for me, and all I can do is wait for the Dean’s verdict. All I want to know is that I have been judged fairly, and that the night in jail and fine, is enough punishment for something that was completely blown out of proportion.
I just wrote my aplogy letter and im getting reference letters from professor’s, classmates, friends, high school teachers, co-workers and employers. Am I good?
Yeah, you’re good. That girls is a witch for doing that to you. She’s lucky you even returned her stuff. Most people would just take the valuable items in the purse and dump the rest in the nearest garbage can.
Yes but you made a bad and stupid decision. Though you righted your wrong, you still wronged to begin with and therefore were punished. I believe it was blown out of proportion as well but hey that’s life. You made a mistake, and now you’re dealing with the consequences… No one said it would be easy.
And yes it sucks that someone did that to you and you can’t do anything about it and you’re right… it’s not fair but guess what? Life’s not fair… you’d better get used to it or you’re never going to make it in the real world.
That girl is horrible.
Maybe it was her who stole your bag and she has something against you.
I agree with Love me or Hate me.
But you yourself did say that you stole and that cant be changed.But I would still try to talk to your Dean and explain yourself and your frustration of finding your stuff missing.Good luck if nothing else this did teach you that it is never good to be a thief ,and don’t do something that you know is wrong.My question is how you thought a piece of electronic can equal money that feeds you and pays your bills.But you will remember this and in the long run it will be a lesson for you that stealing doesn’t pay.And of course the person that pressed charges had the right ,I would have too but maybe with your good record you can get beyond this .Good luck
if ur dean or wut ever is fair u wont get in that much trouble but if he is minipulated by the owner of the ipod then ur screwed
in my opinion tell the dean eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeverything that happened even the opology letter and mabey ull get off the hook
