Honesty IS the BEST policy!

So after all my hard work of studying for one of my classes and thinking I got the highest test score, I come to find out my professor added up my points wrong. He gave me a 37.5 out of 40, but I actually got a 36.5 out of 40. MORAL DILEMMA! Well, it really shouldn't be, but I worked so hard, dang it. I realize the mistake and I was torn all through class whether I should tell him. It's just one point, but one point means a lot in this class since there are not many to go around. So, I call my best friends Linny and she says I should tell (good advice) and I also call Kjell, she's says to tell tell the professor as well. I knew I had to, I just needed the extra push in the right direction. I am not a saint, people. Sometimes, making the right decision is the hardest thing to do. After all my worrying, I decided that I would rather have respect for myself than to have that extra point. I hand back my test to the professor and told him he added the points wrong. Guess what he did... He said, "Take the point for honesty!" I about fainted! I was so relieved =) The spirit was urging me to tell the professor because it was going to work out OK no matter what. I just needed to heed the spirit from the get-go and not question it. I know it's just a point, but in the end, it means a lot to me =)
