I nearly fainted at my HS graduation. We had a point system for our scholarships. You got points for grades, activities, comunity service, taking hard classes, sports, ect, basically encouragement to be active and be a good student. The more points you got, the higher chance you had to get one of the bigger scholarships.
Turns out, I had the second highest number of points in my class of 50 students (Yes 50). They handed out the scholarship awards at graduation at the time of diplomas. When I got my diploma they handed me my scholarship award in an envelope. I walked back over to the stands where we were seated at and opened my envelope. In there was a check for $2100!!!!!!!!!!! I felt myself start to swoon and had to brace myself on the person standing next to me!
