An Open Letter
To Whom It May Concern:
I’m really depressed. Until now, I cannot believe that you marked my essay with “Lifted article?”. Never in my entire life I plagiarized an essay or any literary piece just so I can have something to pass. What I have passed to you was my original work. It was conceptualized, drafted, and revised two times by me, your student.
What I don’t really understand is that you marked my essay like that without even confirming it with me if it was a plagiarized article. You should have asked me first before doing so. I tell you, this one really made my day sour. And because of this, I wasn’t able to concentrate much with the examinations I sat today. It devastated my morale.
I don’t have any idea what made you conclude like this. But if you based my ability to write the article in question from the previous essay you asked us to submit (which is one of the worst articles I have written this year), of course, my second essay would look like as if it was written by somebody else for me or it was copy and pasted from the Internet.
Yes, there is really a fluctuation with the quality of my literary works. This blog will prove you that. But I tell you, once inspiration hit me, I can write such piece (I don’t mean to show-off).
I’m not sure, but it looks like you don’t trust me which makes me sad. Nevertheless, I hope this scandal will be resolved. I cannot really accept to be labeled as a plagiarist. Because of this, I rummaged my room for my drafts. Luckily, I found them. I hope they are enough to prove to you that my essay is an original and not a derivative of any work. I also want to include here that I don’t mean to offense you or something. It’s just that I’m telling nothing but the truth.
Respectfully Yours,
Christian Evangelista
PS: I related this to some of my blockmates and they disclosed to me that their articles were lifted from somewhere else. How come my work was the one that was marked with “Lifted article?”?
EDIT: This issue has been resolved, thank God.
