[Anonymous_Member003]

heh. i don't think i've ever gotten any awards.

i always thought that being accepted into my college was an award- an award for staying strong throughout high school and always striving for my best.

i was first chair of the second clarinet section in high school. i took that very seriously.

i was president and founder of a successful community service club in high school as well. i never cared about success, i had a small vision of a few people helping out at special olympics bowling twice a year, and it snowballed into this tremendous fiasco with a dozen activites and dozens of kids!

hmmm, what do I do at college?

i haven't won any awards here, i keep a real low profile and hang tough
