your credentials look good but I hope this isn't what you wrote in your IA description essay 😵
"Here’s the sticky part: Institutional action-copied a few sentences from lab manual procedure in my pre lab report (2nd week of school year) for organic chem lab, got a written warning, nothing else. I did get a zero on the lab report, which meant I had to get near perfect on every subsequent lab report for an A, which was not easy, but I managed to pull it off by a few % points. Tbh, it was blown way out of proportion, the course coordinator has no life except preying on kids and wanting them to fail. In my class alone (~20 kids), she removed 10, including myself, and got us all in trouble for copying a few sentences from the procedure and saying it’s plagiarism. Imagine how many others got the same thing in the dozens of other lab section. Nonetheless, I explained it, took responsibility, and said what I learned and how I grew in the space they give us to write abt it."
Gotta let go of that righteous indignation if you use this incident in any secondary essays!
