Awards Night - AKA, Erica gets a lesson in penmanship
Awards night was a tremendous success. Sean showed up to support me with my mother, which was refreshing. Then, my legs didn't get cramped because I was up and about too much!
Here is the final score:
-Scholarship Pin
-Merit Pin
-Service Pin
-Literature 12 Award (Best Lit 12 student) plaque
-Outstanding graduating English student Plaque (one o' the special ones!)
-Outstanding Humanities Award (BEST HUMANITIES STUDENT!! Wh00t!!!!) plaque... plus the enormous trophy that I don't get to keep. My name does, however, become immortal as I get it on the huge plaque to hang in the school. THe read off this speech about me that was absoloutely superb. In it, they mentioned that I got the best mark in History 12, Literature 12, AP English 12, English 12 and Law 12. They also mentioned Civilizations 12 and Geopgraphy 12, which I took last year. I actually took Geology 12, but they said Geography. For the record, I was the best in those classes to. I hate to brag.. But I'm feeling very good about myself. And I got a speech about me. YAY!
-Chilliwack Board of Trustees Book Award: Humanities (the book is "The Oxford Companion to English Literature")
-Book Man Literature Lover's Award ($150 credit at The Book Man... This is really important to me because what won me this was an essay that I wrote for it. They didn't look at any of my achievements: this was a product of my own creative writing. I am very happy about that.. It is the one I wanted the most.)
-Royal Canadian Legion: Ladies' Auxillary Branch #4 ($750)
-Chilliwack Community Foundation: F. Clifford Brown ($1500)
So.... $2400 total, a book, a handful of pins, a handful of plaques and an overabundance of confidence.
But the awesomest part... Ok, just the funniest... the Auxillary award wrote a letter and gave a certificate to some girl named En'ca. Ouch.. My poor penmanship isn't dealing with this blow very well. I suppose my "r" and "i" were really close together, so it looked like an "n" and the dot over the "i" resembled an apostrophe. I wonder if I got it because they thought I was a foreign exchange student. Check it out! I am culturally diverse! Anyways, we got a good laugh from that. You all may now refer to me as En'ca, if you wish. I'm putting this damn thing on my wall!
