Yes. I've gotten an award at school.

It is called the All-Rounders award.

Whether it only applies to someone in my year level, I'm not quite sure yet. However I am the only student to get it.

So I'm proud of myself.

What happened was, I found out at the junior awards assembly.
At first, because I didn't know it existed, I thought all of the awards had been out, and I was crying because I'd put in a lot of work and had very high marks, but I didn't get anything.
The campus principal asked why I was crying and I said I just expected too much of myself.
He then said that I would be pleasantly surprised.
So he took the microphone and announced that I'd won this award, even though we weren't supposed to find out until two days after that assembly.
I was happy, but I still didn't like that I hadn't won an academic award.
I thought it was just some little award.
Then my mum called up the head of the education board, who is one of her friends, and then we found out that it is an extremely prestigious award and I must be doing very well.
So now I'm happy again.

The All-Rounders award is an award for not just academia, but excellence in all areas.

It means that I have been, to put it most plainly, WAY TOO TOTALLY AWESOME, in pretty much everything, for example, community work, school work, college and co-curricula involvement and keeping the teachers and students happy whilst staying out of trouble.

So I'm happy...

YAY!!

    Hey that is fabulous!! Congratulations Heathcliff, you must be outstanding. I am so impressed. That has a really nice sound to it, "all-rounders." To be all-rounded has to be the highest honor. I'm glad you're happy, but you should really be proud as well. You're awesome.

    Congrats lady comrade!!

    When I was at school I was awarded a couple times, but I didn't really mean to keep teachers and schoolmates happy. I just behaved properly because I wanted to get that part of life done as soon as possible I didn't really enjoy school as others do. It wasn't my favorite environment at all, but I kept it as a secret to myself... I wanted the shiny and colorful medals and diplomas to fill empty spaces in my drawers

    Who's that 'you know who'? Someone causing trouble? You two want me to go there and kick 'em where they've got it coming?

    - junior level excellence in music
    - all-rounders.

    Nevermind. I was grumpy with one of my friends. It made a pretty good poem-like piece of writing.
