Today, at school, I got in trouble for plagiarizing on a paper. The subject of said paper was where I see myself in ten years. FML
I agree, your life sucks 25 845
You deserved it 2 433

Same thing different taste

Maybe try talking to the teacher about how ridiculous it is to get accused of plagiarism when the topic is so limited anyways?

Teachers like that is why students lose motivation for their education.

The paper could still be plagiarised, regardless of the subject.

You never indicated whether you actually plagiarized or not. You could have copied content for your paper from any number of sources.

You probably saw yourself where someone else did first.

If this is university/college course, have you taken it to the head of the department if not head of the college of Humanities or whatever your school classifies English under whatever college pillar division it may be? Because if you're accused of plagiarism for where you see yourself, you can fight it.

At least you can spell,there are people who get university degrees who can't even speak English let alone write

Apparently your life goals are the same as someone else. Gotta be original.

Perhaps you quoted something and forgot to acknowledge it?

Apparently your dreams are cliché, OP. Nothing wrong with wanting the American Dream, though. It's a good one.
