The Right Decision

It was a pretty normal Friday. Just like any other Friday. I had to go to NPCC today again. We were instructed to print out an application form and hand it up in today’s training. I took out the form and filled it up.

My friend, Travis, saw what I was doing and came over to my desk. He took a look at my form and said, “You didn’t let your parents sign the form?” I was confused by what he said. I looked at the bottom of the form where it said “Parents Signature”. I was shocked! I did not notice that this form had to be signed when I was printing it yesterday! My mind was in a whirl. I did not know what to do. Before I could think of a plan, the teacher arrived and started teaching the class.

I could not keep myself focused on what the teacher taught. Thoughts of getting punished by my officers sent a chill down my spine. It was then when an idea can to my mind. “I could forge the signature. I might get away with it and no one would know what has happened!” I took up my pen and was ready to forge the signature, but my conscience held me back. “Am I doing the right thing? Should I just admit and accept my punishment, or should I forge the signature?” Time was running out and I was still struggling between the decisions.

I finally decided not to forge the signature as it was a dishonest move and if I were caught doing it, the punishments would be a lot more severe. Luckily, my officers did not collect the form and asked us to bring it next training. I heaved a sigh of relief and went home with a smile on my face. The day ended quite well for me and I was glad that I had made the right choice.

What a great day :D
