One time, I faced a moral dilemma when I found a wallet in our school hallway. It had cash, an ID, and some important cards. Part of me thought about keeping the money because I needed it for school projects, but another part of me knew it wasn’t mine. I decided to bring the wallet to the school’s lost-and-found office instead of keeping it. I made that decision because I realized how I would feel if I lost something valuable.Returning it was the honest thing to do, and I knew it would help the owner. Later, I found out the wallet belonged to a classmate who was very thankful. She told me the money inside was for her tuition payment, which made me feel even more relieved that I returned it. The experience taught me that doing the right thing may not give you instant rewards, but it gives peace of mind. It also reminded me that integrity is worth more than money.I learned that moral dilemmas test not just our decision-making skills but also our values. By choosing honesty, I contributed to building trust in my school community. Even if no one had found out, I would still know what I did—and that matters most. This choice strengthened my belief that we should always act based on what is right, not just on what is easy.
