senior awards night

so last thursday we had our senior awards night.

rachsal got several things for west point - one of which basically being a congratulations from the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES - via a man from west point.

we both got academic awards.

and then i got a big award… the award was given to six students for the most growth shown in the last 4 years and who have contributed the most to the school. i got one. i was the only girl who got it. i got it and when they read about who was getting it they said beautiful things. the last one was "the daughter you wish you could have….Lisa Sawyer"… i knew that had been Woolard. granted several teachers probably feel the same way, but i know that had to have been him. He was crying.

even typing it now makes me tear up.


and Mrs. Howard said that i got a LOT of votes and when i was decided to get it, she asked for some nice things to say and she said she got like 11 emails saying nice stuff. she said she would let me read them.  i'm excited.

i feel honored. i should - its a big award.

but i feel loved. I didn't know that people payed that much attanetion to me. that i have an infectious smile. i didn't know they cared so much.

i wonder if i will cry when i read the emails… hm…

oh and woo lard still has my senior portfolio- the terd :P
