We judge ourselves by our intentions and others by their behaviour.“​

– Stephen M.R. Covey, Author

Please reflect on the above quote and consider the impact your behavior had on yourself and others. “Others” includes, but is not limited to:

  • Your residential community
  • Any individuals  impacted by your actions
  • Any individuals that witnessed your action
  • Any individuals that are member of groups with which you are associated (sorority, fraternity, athletic team, student organization)
  • Any individuals in your support group (family, friends, mentors)

Some questions you could consider (not required):

  • When you reflect on the behavior that resulted in you being found in violation of a university policy, was there a disconnect between your intent and impact? If so, what resulted from your impact being at odds with your intent?
  • Have you ever experienced a negative impact from another’s well-intended action? What did that experience feel like for you?
  • What could you have done differently so your impact aligned with your intent?
  • In the future, when making a decision, what could you do differently to ensure your impact aligns with your intent?
  • Is it possible to reconcile your impact with your original intent after the fact? If so, what are some strategies you could utilize?

Your reflection should be at least 750 words.
