At the Senior Awards Ceremony, I found out that I was awarded the 1st place ($1000) scholarship by the PTSA. Then later, I found out my parents had known for 3 weeks. It’s the first time my dad has kept a secret that long.
In related news, I’m still ticked about the honors thing. The local paper’s article about the issue sucks, but a paper from a neighboring county has a great article here. In short, to make everyone more equal, the school is prohibiting the wearing of honor cords and medals and such that signify participation/success in various activities and programs. I intend to wear both my AP Scholar of Distinction and IB Diploma Canidate medals when I walk across.

Your dad kept a secret for three weeks? Maybe he can share his technique
As for the honor cord thing, yea, it’s a stupid decision, but it’s not worth a rebellion against the school.
(P.S.: I’m gonna laugh if they start dragging people off-stage for wearing those.)
