I won a litter poster competition when I was in third grade. My poster was made up and put around the school!

I expect they're all gone now. My old primary school is set to close anyway with the redevelopment.

I won a bowling an Ontario bowling tournament with over 500 people in it. Numerous championships, high averages, high scratch awards. I cleaned up in boy scouts being one of the first Six Star Scouts in Canada, Won baseball tournaments, one tennis tournament when I was younger and numerous awards through school. I almost made it into the TSN Pins Game a few years ago (Canadians might know this tournament on TV). Had to bowl ten games, bowled the first seven at an average of 221, then bowled the last three at an average of 180. I can third in the qualifier because of those games, but was outright beating guys with 220+ averages. Needless to say, Canadian Bowling Hall of Famer and legend, Bob Brace (owner of the alley I used my whole life) told me he didn't know I was so good. As a bowler, that's like John Malkovich telling an actor he's great.

Now I've never been in many positions be awarded anything but I know I've won a lot of things through talent and skill. I got no idea what any of yours mean and most of them look completely made up. So, yeah. I see this thread and it looks like a sad attempt at 'OMG LOOK AT ME LOOK HOW GOOD I AM' so, yeah. So, excuse me for you appearing a little bit chauvanistc with your floundering of your spectacular, brilliant and glorious life achievements. I'm only 21 and many people don't actually start building real acheivements until they are at least 25 (school achievements mean once you're out in the real world) and I don't have a list of fancy achievements.

Better hope you're not one of those people who is good at school then fails at life. See, I'm fortunate enough to be one of those kids who failed (well, the second half of high school) at school and will succeed at life. We're you offered a full scholarship to a school for gifted children when you were eight? I declined because I was popular and had a niche of friends and didn't want to be a melvin. Was it a stupid decision? In hindsight, mayhap, but one should living without regrets.
