Plagiarism

I had an experience with plagiarism when I attended the Academy of the Holy Names in Silver Spring, MD. I was in 10th grade. We were taking our Biology Final. The girl cheated off my paper and also spelled every misspelled word the same way. Earlier, in the same year, I had written a paper. I laid it on my desk, and of course she went through it and copied some of my paragraphs without my knowledge. The end result was I was expelled from school. Her name was Lilly Becktell. Oh, I was found innocent, but there was a race issue brought up. Lilly was white, I am an American Indian mixed with Black. So my mother made sure Lilly got expelled as well.
