<human>: In college I got caught cheating on a test by using notes I had written on a piece of paper under the test. When the teacher caught me she asked me to please leave the room and come back after class. I don't think any of the other students knew what had happened as she did it rather discretely, but they probably guessed. I just lowered my head and walked out and didn't say a word.

That hour between when I was dismissed and the class ended was awful. I was full of dread and figured my life was over, I even cried a little while waiting in the bathroom. When I went and talked to the teacher she was very direct. She asked why I did it, and I tried to make up an excuse that sounded good "family issues and didn't have time to study" but it was very vague and she had to know I was lying.

Then she told me that if she reported this to the student judicial board I would likely be expelled from college. I was still a freshman so I just got extremely quiet and held back tears. She said that I was a very bright student who didn't need to cheat, and gave me a lecture about how cheating in college wasn't like high school. It was taken very very seriously, but that she believed this would be my wake up call to get with it. 

Said she had never had this happen before and wasn't about to ruin someone's life. We both agreed that from then on out, I would do 4 papers of 10 pages on 4 different topics separate from the rest of the class. The average of these papers would be my score for the test I cheated on, with a B the best I could get.

I did the papers and completed the course with a C. I've never cheated since and it has been my only non A/B course since then, graduating this May. I owe that teacher my career.

Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?
