And the award for best attendance record goes to....
Before I started my education, I had set myself a goal: Do well, make all the school work I was required to do and show up every day.Now it's the end of the first 5 months, which is the basic course. 20 weeks. 5 days in each week, making it 100 days. Of course, there have been days where I have been away, due to work experience and public holidays, so let's say 80 days of school. 80 days where I have had to sit and listen to a teacher explain something. Most times I have paid attention, but there have been days where I just wasn't there mentally.
At the end of the course, today, we had a small awards ceremony, where the best students were being celebrated. Three awards were given out: Best attendance, best fighter and an award for the biggest helper.
First up, the attendance record. It was close between two people, but in the end, only one could be the winner.
It was me. I was the winner. During these past 80 days, I have an attendance of 99.1%. 0.9% time away! The second place was 0.1% after me, at 1% time away.
The second award went to the guy in the class, who was hard at hearing. Deserved!
The last award, the helper of the year, went to someone in my class, who really helped others out, even when he wasn't supposed to.
What did we win? We won a gift certificate for a cinema, and a small toy truck.
For the first time in my life, I have actually won something!
