Monday June 29th was a milestone day. The morning started off way too early to head down the Grant Park Memorial for Tyler's Convocation. I was so proud to see him walk across the stage and get that diploma he has been working on for the last 13 years! Although it was long...very long, it was worth it to see him on his special day.
But that wasn't the only thing going on that day. This evening were the undergrad awards for my school. I had worked very very hard all year to excel in my academics and boy did it show. Not only did I receive a average of 97% but I received 7, yes 7 awards. I got academic excellence which is the honour roll, as well as the subject merit awards in 4 of my subjects, this means I had the highest mark in the courses of Psychology, Pre-Calculus, Canadian History, and English. I also received two other very special awards, the first being the T.W. Moor Memorial Award which is given to a student who excels in mathematics and displays high levels of citizenship. The second was the Pride of Glenlawn, this is a brand new award given to students nominated by their peers than selected by teachers who show; positive attitudes towards all classmates, demonstrate concern for others, volunteer within school and community, are dependable, considerate, polite and respectful, academically and personally honest, posses strength of character, and are proud to attend Glenlawn. I want to thank my teachers and parents for helping and supporting me this school year to achieve these high levels of excellence.
