Ok, well this past spring near the end of the school year, I unknowingly aided a fellow student in stealing boxes of supplies from school to sell elsewhere. Unfortunately, the day I found out was when i was called to the headmasters office. Many of the things he told me I was hearing for the first time and I really was confused for the most part of what was going on as it was all news to me as well. I did my best to defend myself in the most respectfull manner, but as the headmaster put it I was “The driver for the bank robbers gettaway car”… Eventually i was forced to “withdraw” from school, had to pack up, and leave that night. However i wasnt really expelled in the traditional sense that someone would expect. I was allowed to return to campus a few times and finish my finals during the finals week, so basically i gruduated like everyone else. ( I went to a boarding school in case you’re wondering). What im worried about now is how i should explain this not only to the school i will be entering this fall but to colleges that i will be applying to, as it is my senior year. The headmaster told me that since I was “withdrawn”, if any university calls or writes to him or the school asking about the situation he will not tell them himself but rather ask them to call me. I know its bad, but should I…, “bend” the truth? tell them something else? or just go ahead and be honest. I have never gotten in trouble for anything in school before, let alone anything like this. Im not perfect but im not that bad a kid and i dont want addmissions counselors rejecting my application because they think im some kind of criminal. what do you guys think?
