So I went to the awards night and it was long, my neck started hurting from having to turn to the speakers all the time, and I was anxiously waiting to see what I was getting.
Not to my surprise, I didn’t get any scholarship money. I can’t help feeling like this is due to a lapse in judgement where I put on the scholarship form that I was getting $20,000 a year from a school I applied early to (that I only applied to because of a waived application fee). Maybe if the groups handing out scholarships hadn’t known that I had the opportunity of receiving a lot of money, I would have gotten at least one check. Man that was stupid of me. We filled out these scholarships back in February, when most people hadn’t heard back from any schools yet.
Soo my name was on the list because I received an “Outstanding Attendance Award” for nearly perfect attendance (1 absence and 1 dismissal). Of course I would be one of the students to get an award for showing up to school.
