Was there anything you won during your schooldays that you have kept & cherished?

I won the Governor-General’s medal and do cherish it.

I once won an award for daydreaming during classtime. It was officially titled: The Spaceman Spiff Award For Interplanetary Travel Without Leaving The Classroom. Some people wouldn’t be proud of that, but I am; it’s framed and hanging back at my parent’s house.

Spaceman Spiff because I looked and acted a lot like Calvin from Calvin & Hobbes as a child.

I also have my fancy shmansy college diploma, but that’s not nearly as cool.

I received the “Principal’s Distinction” award for straight-A’s every semester of middle school and I still have all six of those. At the end of high school, I received a couple of awards, the favorite of mine being the English award from the Rotary Club. My teacher chose me out of her 120+ English students to receive it and she was one of my favorite teachers of all time, perhaps my #1 favorite. That will always remind me of her (though I’m actually friends with her on Facebook…lol).

I have some. They are in boxes somewhere. It was all so long ago. I would not say that I still cherish them.

I never won any awards or trophies in school, mostly because I skipped most of it until I dropped out haha.
I still do have my Sailormoon wallet from back then though. >_>

The 6th Grade Spelling Bee Championship for Paxton Center School.

I once won a series of “one-a-day” elimination questions that our Algebra teacher threw out at us (that is, the questions were asked and ‘correct answerers’ got to participate the next day, too—they weren’t questions about elimination; that would have been Biology) over the course of a few months once. The prize was a two-inch tall gag “World’s Greatest Student” award. I still have it somewhere.

Actually, I’m proud of my varsity letter. I got it sophomore year of HS for exemplary extracurricular academic achievement (debate and forensics).

I kept all the news clippings from awards, events and leadership roles I had in high school. Funny how the ribbons, medals, and pins were more disposable to me.

2nd place medal. High School track. State finals.

What event @ChazMaz ?

I still have my Homecoming Queen crown.

Summer after 2nd grade I won a trophy for a swim race at camp. It was plastic. The only athletic trophy I ever won. I treasure the memory of it… My little bratty niece broke it when I was in high school.

I have awards for artwork that I can’t find and a dictionary I won on a spelling bee in the sixth grade.I thweasure wit :))

In 8th grade I broke my middle school’s high jump record. I didn’t get a medal or anything, but I cherish that moment because I beat out all the boys. XD
I have a lot of awards from playing volleyball and basketball as well.
I also have all of my certificates from every honor roll ceremony. In high school I was invited to all of them except one. Stupid math grade.

The thing I cherish is not something I won but was given to me by my kindergarten teacher. It’s a blue doll and even though she is missing her leg I still have her on my book shelf and I plan to have her for the rest of my life.
