It is with deep pain and regret that I write this post because of my misconduct and clumsy behavior as regards the rules and regulations guiding this magnificent platform. On the 18th of August 2022, I made a post titled “The One Disease in Need of a Cure.” I copied this post from a source, and it was inappropriate to claim it as my own. (Here’s the link to that post: https://peakd.com/hive-153850/@vic2ryx/the-one-disease-in-need-of-a-cure#@hivewatchers/rgvzt0)
This was plagiarism, and I sincerely apologize for my unacceptable behavior. I wish to apologize first of all to those I copied from. I know I should have given you credit for your work, and I apologize for not doing so. I have always believed that an author's work should be given the recognition it deserves, but I violated that principle by not showing integrity when it matters.
I'd also like to apologize to the hive community, my mentors, and all of my friends for my behavior. You all put your trust in me and expected me to be honest, and I let you down. I understand that my behavior has caused you a lot of grief, and I’m sorry for that.
I have learnt my lesson and I hope that the hive authorities will temper justice with mercy and give me a chance to right my wrongs. I promise to be more cautious about my work and also do well to make appropriate references to other people’s work.
I accept full responsibility for my actions and sincerely hope that with time and effort, I will be able to rebuild and regain the trust of everyone I have disappointed.
Thank you very much for your time and consideration. I am so grateful.
Sincerely,
Erakora Oghenekevwe Victory
