Kavi's Own Work

Kavi had a report due and found a page online that said it all perfectly. "I could just copy it and paste my name on top — nobody would know," Kavi thought. But then the report wouldn't be Kavi's at all, and Kavi wouldn't learn a single thing. So Kavi used the page a different way: read it, understood it, wrote the report in Kavi's own words, and gave credit to where the facts came from. When a hard part came up, Kavi asked a helper to explain it — not to do it. "Using technology honestly means the work is really mine," Kavi hooted. Copying is quick, but honest work is the only kind that teaches you — and the only kind you can be proud of.
