On a day that I cannot remember, I was checking my inbox and my text messages, just chatting with friends as normal. Then suddenly my teacher texted me and told me that, uh, I was one of the top ten girls on my school. At this moment, words couldn’t describe how happy I was. I was literally so enthusiast because, you know, at that moment, I felt that all of my hard work finally paid off. The next day, my teacher called me because she wanted me to come to school so I could get my honorable certificate and a little bit of, you know, rewards and to take pictures with the principal and with the teaching staff. All of them were so proud of me, and it was a priceless feeling to feel, actually, I think that I will forever be grateful for my teaching staff and for the people who helped me achieve this. I will never forget this occasion, and I will appreciate it for the rest of my life.
