Student Awards

Okay, so today was the student awards were today and I got an award. Yaaaaaaay hahaha clap for me!

It was a really chalenging situation but I pulled through.

Okay, so the first challenge was what do I wear? I thought, I MOST definitely do not want to be over dressed. So I wore a dress. By over dressed, I do not mean like, wearing too many clothes. I mean, like wearing a really nice dress for a t-shirt and jeans situation. Like if someone wore a ball gown to go fishing.

I bet you are wondering, was this one of the times were my wearing a ball gown for fishing metaphor applies? No, not exactly. Well, I was wearing a dress. Rather short. It did not even reach my knees and if I were to bend down, the dress would not be dignifying or allow decency. So yeah. It was a bit later low cut in the chest area. Okay, so it did not show anything thankfully but it makes the dress look rather - not trashy - but just not really smart or casual.

My second challenge was shoes. I have clown feet. My feet hurt in size 9 shoes now. I hope my feet stop growing otherwise I can picture myself entering a shoe shop and not being able to get shoes. The people there would probably just look at me, sort of disapproving and give me a paper bag to hide my disgraceful feet with. Ho, my feet aren't disgracefully really; they carry my body around. :)

My third obstacle, was getting there.

Me: Dad, the student Awards are in Kenton hall, near Preston Park. Do you know it?

Dad: Yeah

Two weeks later

Me: Dad, the student Awards are in Kenton hall, near Preston Park. Do you know it?

Dad: Nope! You should have told me earlier!

So on the day, I am there trying to find directions. If you are Bob, you are face palming thinking, this does not turn out good, does it?

Well it does. I managed to give my dad perfect directions.


We got there and there was Sameer, helping out :) We talked for a bit. The fourth challenge was free food.

I thought, wow, that food looks good. But like, I do not want to eat, in front of people. I hate eating in front of people that I do not know. So I just did not get any food.


My fifth challenge was being there. Lots of people watching and there were some teachers and I felt awkward like, I want to hide somewhere! But I could not. I sat at front first, then I thought, what if I want a quick get away? So I moved to the back with Nishil and Shivani and they had that intention too. Oh yeah, by the way, I was with my sisters. If I was not, I would have stepped in and taken a look, then decided, nope, can't do this!


Guess whose name was first? Go on! Take a stab at it! The first category was science and the first name was Olugbemi Moronfolu, so I had to go up first! Hahahahahaha! I found out who nominated me - Mrs Ratna. :)

It was awkward walking up. I took really long, that the person after me was waiting one minute for me to go up. Then I got to the front and got my certificate. Micheal Worgs whispered that I had to shake his hand. Then he was like smile and he looked at the camera and so I did too. I really am not photogenic. I am worried that they put up my picture in the college like they did with last years.

There was an amazing speech from this guy, Levi ... something and he went to Harrow College. He came in with 1 C in GCSE and came out with 3 A's for A2. Like wow.

Victoria was there and so was Xiao. I thought they were really good friends as I am always told of stories of them eating in lessons together. But I realised they may not be. On the Bletcheley trip, for much of the time, they were walking together but saying nothing to each other and texting. Also, I got told that when Xiao got told she would get an award for maths, Victoria got angry, like why not me. Like I mean she could have been happy for her friend but she was pissed off because it was not her.


My sixth challenge was sneaking out. There were lots of people and so it was beneficial that we sat in the back. We did the one by one approach where I went first, then Joy then Tobi.
