What that UVA Student Should Say (but won’t)

I want to apologize for my actions. I should not have been drinking and trying to enter bars illegally. I should not have caused a scene when asked to leave. I should not have cursed the police officers who were just doing their job. It’s my own fault I have this gash in my head. Had I been respectful of authority and not been drinking illegally, this would not have happened.

I brought my school into disrespect by my unruly actions and I beg the forgiveness of school authorities and humbly ask that I may be given another chance and not be expelled as I deserve.

I throw myself on the mercy of the court. I have learned my lesson, but will take my punishment like a man.

God bless the University of Virginia, the state of Virginia and the United States of America.
