"Would you like a coupon?" I repeated this sentence for thousands of times on a snowing day. Knocking from door to door, I sale coupon for the specialized chairs for the disabled children who also studied at our school. When I saw the glittering eyes on their faces as they received new chairs, I knew my life was fulfilled by helping others.
3.We recognize that reading about an Honor Code is very different from living with it. Nevertheless, if you come to Haverford, the Code will be a part of your college life. We therefore ask you to write a reflective essay of 1-2 pages in response to one of the following prompts:
CAN ANYBODY EXPLAIN WHAT THE HONOR CODE ESSAY IS??? (For Harverford College) THANKS!!!!

Here are some corrections for now. Good luck! :D
Fiona, when you apply to particular universities, they ask you to agree to an honor code. This means that you promise to never cheat on your test, plagiarize your papers, or do anything that is against the student code or rules and regulations of the university. Normally, an honor code essay will either present a fictitious situation to you that asks you to recall one of the honor codes of the school you are applying to and then asks you discuss how you would deal with the situation, knowing how the honor code deals with such violations. Another type of honor code essay will ask you to discuss an experience in your past, if you have any, which deals with the honor code of your previous school or your personal code of honor and how you dealt with it. The essays tests your honesty and ability to adhere to rules even without supervision. It is an essay that tests your character and respect for authority and rules.
wow, that helped me a lot. Your explanations are always neat!
so should i write a story or something on what i have done to show my honesty?
do you have any suggestions about it?:)
thank you!!!
Fiona, I need to know what the two prompts are so that I can advise you or give you some ideas behind what the honor code being required in the prompt is. I need the following information from you before I can answer your question:
1. What is the honor code of the university?
2. What are the two prompts?
3. Which of the two prompts are you inclined to answer and why?
4. Do you want me to clarify any points about the honor code of Harverford for you in relation to your chosen prompt?
After I find out these information from you, we should be able to decide on the proper prompt for you to address :-)
