Sample Answer
I had to decide whether or not to report a student for smoking marijuana in his room. I knew that if I reported him, he would be kicked out of the dorm, but I also knew that he was a great resident who had never caused any problems before. Ultimately, I decided not to report him because he was a good guy who made a mistake.
