7 MAJOR VIOLATIONS AS A STUDENT

In being a student for almost ten years I have observed that there are common “sins” that are often committed by many students. Those simple mistakes can’t be considered as “sins” yet and I will just label them as VIOLATIONS, which can lead towards being sins if practiced regularly. Like in Dante Alighieri’s famous masterpiece “The Divine Comedy” there is different places where sinners should suffer to repay their mistakes. I decided to make my own version of it, but this time I will use my list of 7 Major violations as a student in the form of terraces. The lowest terrace is the violation with the least intensity, the intensity becomes greater every step upward.  Every terrace corresponds to one major violation. In each terrace there is a disciplinary action for the violator. Of course the persons involved and the disciplinarian will also be there. Lastly, the aftermath or the effect after doing the violation is there.

CARELESSNESS: The violators here are those who are negligent and careless with their things. The disciplinarian here is the “Class confiscator”. The things and other stuff neglected by the violator will be confiscated. The consequence is that the violator will be given the choice to ransom that stuff.

STINGINESS:  The violators here are those who are not generous or excessively selfish. This terrace is different because the disciplinarian here is the violator’s own conscience. The aftereffect is that the more the person denies the heavier his/her conscience will get.

MESSINESS: The messy and untidy belongs here. The disciplinarian will be the school cleaner/janitor. The aftermath is that the violator will be asked to clean his/her messy area or the place that was messed up.

DISCONTENTMENT:   in this terrace the violators are those who are discontented with what they have. The disciplinarian will be the parents themselves. The violators will be asked to write a letter containing all the reasons that caused their discontentment and the rest will be up to the parents.

ARROGANCE: The violators here are those who are arrogant and hard headed. The adviser will be the disciplinarian. The consequence of these violations is that the adviser will talk to the violator together with the parents and the behavior of the student will be monitored.

DISHONESTY: This terrace includes lying and cheating (dishonesty against others and towards yourself). The disciplinarian will be the guidance counselor because cheating and lying is a big mistake especially in schools. The disciplinary action will be depending on the intensity of your violation.

SLOTH: This is the biggest violation among all. The violators are those who submit projects and requirements late. The disciplinarian will be the subject teacher. The consequence will also be the worst which is LOW GRADES.

This list of 7 major violations as a student was just purely invented by me, but I think it will be helpful if those 7 violations there will be changed. Changing this bad attitudes will be the path towards the "Seven Contrary Virtues" of diligence, generosity, patience, chastity, moderation, contentment, and, most important of all, humility and also the path towards betterment.
