Answer:

One scenario that forced me to wrestle with my values was one that most people know but didn’t actually have to live through it. If you have ever had someone ask you, “Would you steal a loaf of bread for your family to eat if you were starving and poor?” you may have not put a lot of thought into your answer because it seems a bit outlandish. One summer my family was in a really rough place, my parents had been laid off and my siblings and I were too young to help out much. One day a fellow peer of mine in school had brought a bag of goodies and they had left them sitting in the back of the class. Later on, we had all gone outside to complete a science experiment. I had returned back to the classroom to grab my sweater and nobody else was inside. That day especially I was starving because I hadn’t eaten lunch or dinner the day before or anything that day. I remembered my siblings and how skinny and malnourished we looked. At that moment, even though it hurt me to do it, I grabbed the bag and shoved it in my bag. To this day, I still feel extremely bad for what I had done, but a part of me slept a little better that night knowing my family wouldn’t starve in our car that night.

Explanation:

I met with an incidence that put me in dilemma whether to choose my moral ethical values or to get an edge over my studies.

  • It was mid of October 2020, when I realized that I have spent major portion of my monthly expenditure on house rent, food, movie, and friendly get together treat.
  • I was not able to ask my father to pay sent me more money as he has recently lost his job and has no more means to fulfill my demands till he gets a new job.
  • I was just left with few pennies in my pocket to meet the needs of the rest of the month.
  • My teacher gave me some difficult assignments on algebra but I was not getting good study material to complete it. This assignment was important as it was going to add marks in my final semester and if I could complete it successfully may get a good hold on class position. Good marks also help in achieving target jobs.
  • One day I went with my friend to the market he was forcing me to have some snacks along with him but I knew if I ordered something I have to pay for it too so I denied to eat anything.
  • When we were leaving the market I found a stack of currency notes on the floor and I immediately pick them and put them in my pocket.
  • When we were walking ahead one old woman was crying as she was not able to pay the bill of the grocery store as she lost a huge stack of her money.
  • This created a situation of dilemma in my mind whether I should return money to the old woman or keep it for buying study material for my assignment.
  • I realized it will be unethical to keep money with me as the old woman was looking very helpless and full of anxiety.

So, I decided to gave her money back, I went with a smiling face and tried to calm her and confess that I found your money lying on the floor. She patted my back and blessed me.

I felt relieved after giving back the money if I had not returned the money then the sad and crying face of old woman remain in my memory for long. I may repent on my deeds and I decided to teach middle school students to meet my needs.
