Honor

I just turned down a free trip to Hawaii.

Because I am an Economics student, The PhD Project people offered me
an all-expense-paid trip to the Western Finance Association
conference. I would be able to go; I do not have any prior
commitments.

But it would not be right. I would not benefit from the conference;
it would be a waste of their money. I am not going to waste resources
like that, even when they are freely offered to me.
