Academic Integrity is the ability to be honest, responsible, and true to their work and requirements. Everyone is expected to do all their work if they do their work. They have the choice but not the consequence. To reach achieving academic integrity; they must not cheat, plagiarise, nor use any way to have works done without them doing the work.
I think Academic Integrity is to take the guts to do things the best you can with the things you are expected. It is to work with full honesty and with best efforts to make a statement. I think it is mainly a statement saying that you can work honestly and do well. Even people with not so great grades can be a great success. For example, George Lucas didn't do so good with some subjects. He later went to a film school and slowly built his success. You can be honest and successful. Even if you don't get good grades, atleast you can say that you did your best honestly. If you're good in your area of expertise or even interest, you can still be successful.
I think honor is way more important than good grades. It makes a statement that you're an honest person willing to give your best shot at something. I believe it helps make a person stronger in spirit and pride. It shows to the world that you may not be as up-to-date as other people but you can still live and be proud and happy. You don't have to be really smart to make a difference somewhere.
I believe everything in Walk the Talk is true to the letter. It emphasizes to be a better person and to do what they think is right. It makes a great message saying you can be great despite the difficulties. It also emphasizes that if you have academic integrity, you are a better, stronger person inside out. From what I've seen in this short movie, it makes you feel much better inside and gives you great pride.
A person's conscience is their inner voice that awakens when they need guidence. It helps to determine right and wrong and which path to take as your values and goals help to determine. Many can do a lot of things that should make you proud, but can you feel proud knowing that you didn't go the extra mile to make it yours? I think making something yours is far more powerful than just using what's in front of you. It opens creative minds and reveals personality and uniqueness.
Education is very valuable. It might determine how you live, what you do, or even the gap between life and death. I think despite the harder areas of education, if you learn anything that supports what you work for, it is worth the effort to learn. I just do the best I can and fight for what I want to learn about. It really doesn't matter if you don't do so well, as long as you have a passion for what your interested in, you can make a difference too. People with good grades don't know everyting, they just know more about some things. I've worked toward my dream job and despite my learnings of its difficulties, I still would be willing to put in the effort to make it reality. My goal greatly compliments my past because it's something I've always been interested about.
