The Day I Was Wrongly Accused

If there is something I really hate in my life, it is having to fave incidents that involves implications. Implications in the sense that you didn't actually do something but it was claim that you did it. It is one thing for you to do something and people accused you that you did it. But one of the most painful aspects of it is when you didn't do anything at all or know nothing about something probably an incident or event that happens and every claim and accusation is directed to you.

In fact, most of the time, I have come to discover that when those cases of implications happen, it is always difficult for you to bail yourself out. There is always this sense of frustration and betrayal that comes with those accusations. I have experience several cases like that and trust me, even till now the memory is still so fresh in my memory.

There was this particular experience that I had back then in my university days. I was writing one of my courses in an exam hall. That fateful day, due to some incidents that transpired around where I was sitting in the exam hall, I was falsefuly accused of cheating. It was one of the most saddest day of my life because I knew I didn't cheat.

I personally, I am someone that did not like cheating in exam hall no matter how the question might be tough. I will rather spend countless nights reading and preparing for the exam than for me to cheat. On this fateful day, I was sitting looking at the questions as I was trying to come up with the answers for the questions. Suddenly, the invigilator that was supervising the exam walked to my sit and collected my paper. He told me to stand up and accused me of copying the answer from a paper that was below my table.

It was at that particular time I realised someone have thrown a piece of paper to my table below. I tried all means to explain to the invigilator that I was not copying but he will not believe. I was shocked because truth be told, I didn't know how the paper get there. The invigilator accused me that I was guilty and asked me to leave the exam hall. Trust kez the embarrassing walking outside the exam hall in front of my fellow classmate was so embarrassing for me to bear.

I still remember, the course was 4 unit course. I end up failing the course because I was not able to complete the exam due to that incident. Do you know that particular course affected my GP and made me to graduate with second class lower. In fact I still need to resit for the carryover course in my final year. It was really demanding for me at that particular time. Trust me, till now whenever I remember that incident, it opened up a wound deep within me that still makes it difficult for me to move on. Sometimes when you are wrongly accused, it can cause the death of someone.
