I did not want to go to jail or have to do community service for my mistakes, so when I heard that the court was going to give me the option to do theft and shoplifting classes online I was pretty relieved. The last thing that I needed was for all of my friends to know that I got stupid and tried to steal a few things from a store. Really, I don't know what went through my head that night. I'm hoping that these classes that I take on the internet will help me to learn to control myself when I am in a store all by myself. I'm going to enroll in the longer course because that is what has been ordered by the judge. Really, I feel like the material contained in this course work will enable me to be a much better person and to not make the same mistake twice.
