Awards!
All right, this may be a stupid idea, but I wanted to make a thread where we can talk about/brag about/fangirl/boy about/post pictures of any awards, trophies, medals, certificates, et cetera- without a.) cluttering up the CB with too many threads or b.) sounding like we're bragging (that's exactly what we're doing- shh, don't tell!)
Signing off now-

Did you win any sailing awards?
For my high school, I won a special diploma just now with 34 out of 45 total points. The average is 30 points, so I'm excited that I scored pretty high! I am over the moon about it right now.

Wow, that's great! I won two sailing awards that I will post pictures of momentarily.

This is from a regatta a few weeks ago. If you can't see the words, it says Sail Newport Youth Challenge 2017- Opti White, Third Place.

This one is from the first NBYA regatta of the season, and NBYA trophies are really nice. I would have had second place if not for..... Oh, well, that's a whole nother story. The writing on this one says:
Narragansett Bay Yachting Association
Third Place
2017 Optimist Regatta #1- White Fleet
It may be sideways.

I took the ACT in seventh grade and got a medal from Duke TIP (talent identification program I think) for doing well.

Sailing awards? That is awesome! And that is really great, Ruby!
As for mine... I have three...? Yeah, I think three trophies. And like 30 award things. But honestly, I don't really feel I deserve any of it. Almost all the awards are for silly things the old school does. And the trophy ones are... well, I don't know. I just don't take credit for what I do, exactly. Not enough confidence.

Well done everyone!
This is for a soccer tournament in Singapore. I have a few soccer trophies and medals, but that is probably the one I feel most proud of.

Wow! That's awesome!

I have 3 gymnastics medals and another for an essay writing contest at my school. I was really proud of that essay contest award. I'll maybe post a picture soon.

Woah, sailing awards special diplomas and soccer trophies? Those are so cool!!
As for mine, I've won three team awards for debate in 11th, 8th, and 6th place, and 20th place speaker at different tournaments!

Whoa, you all are so accomplished! And September, you do debate? I'm joining my school's team next year. :)
If any of you take Latin, you probably know about the famously dreaded National Latin Exam and National Mythology Exam. This year, I got a perfect score on both tests, which I cannot. Believe. I did. Thus, I won the Gold (NME) and Summa Cum Laude (NLE) distinction and— Yeah. I'm still in shock.
My scene partners and I got third place in the SoCal student Shakespeare festival (it's called DTASC) last year for our scene from Romeo and Juliet, which was pretty cool, considering there were over a hundred schools that entered.
I also have assorted medals from assorted sports stuff, but in most of those you get a medal just for participation, so I doubt it counts.
In elementary, I won my school's creative writing contest three years in a row, but that was because no one else entered.

Oooh!! Oooh!! Would you by any chance live in Southern California? If so, you might be in my debate league (or I'll see you at a regional qualifier) and I might debate you!!!
(July 10, 2017 - 9:16 pm)
*gasps* I do live in Southern California! Maybe we will end up debating each other! :000
(July 11, 2017 - 10:24 am)
*gasps* Do you know what type of debate your school does?
(July 11, 2017 - 11:20 am)
Haha I've never won anything ever someone please kill me
