Describe a time when you had your ethics tested.

"I had my ethics tested during my first year of medical school. I was on a very strict budget and did not have much money since medical school costs were so high. I found a purse in a basket in the parking lot of a grocery store. I opened up the purse, and there was 10,000 inside. No one was around, and I could have kept the money, but morally and ethically, I knew it was wrong. I was raised to do the right thing, so I went to the address on the person's driver's license and found the purse's owner. She was so grateful and started crying. She had just withdrawn the money from the bank to buy her teenage son a car for his birthday. She explained that she was a single mother and had saved for years to be able to afford to buy her son a car. It made me feel so good that I was the one who had found the purse and did the right thing by returning it."
