Integrity is often defined as doing the right thing when no one is watching. As teenagers, we are faced everyday with the opportunity to display integrity in the world around us. Being in college, it is quite easy to choose not to show academic integrity. Personally, I believe academic integrity is using your personal work for yourself and yourself only.
I, Lukas Daniel, pledge to show academic integrity in every part of the college academic life. I can display integrity by using my work for myself only and not providing important information to other students. Also, I will not use someone else's work for my own because this obviously is cheating. I feel like academic integrity is important because I want to earn everything I possibly can in this life. Cheating and breaking academic integrity makes it seem like the value of your education is depreciated. I feel like academic integrity is important because Clemson was built from the ground up with integrity as a leading key of its core values. Its foundation is strongly grounded with doing the right thing at all times. Breaking academic integrity makes it seem like you're not only hurting yourself, but also the university overall. You do not want to be the one that gives Clemson a bad reputation because you chose to not display academic integrity. I realize there will be opportunities to not do the right and break the academic integrity; however, I pledge to do my absolute best in achieving true academic integrity. To have academic integrity in my schoolwork, I must continue to take my work seriously and almost treat it like a job. If you're caught doing something illegal at your job, you will usually get fired 99% of the time. If you choose to do something that breaks academic integrity here at Clemson, you are at the risk of being caught and throwing the rest of your life down the drain. As a student, I pledge to make the right decision and display academic integrity in every piece of work I complete in the future.
