Recognition? Woah!

Yesterday i received a text message from one of my schoolmates in STI College Alabang. She was inviting me to attend the recognition day today. I was surprised by this. Me? attending a recognition day? At first i wondered what award will I get at school. I'm not really the studious type of person and never in my life since pre-elem, elementary and High school days have I attended such event.

So I attended the said event. I was late for 30 minutes! Good thing they just started when I arrived and I was shocked to see People wearing Togas. Omg! Its a Graduation Ceremony! I got nervous because i haven't received any special awards before. A Student Assistant at school recognized me and told me to go inside and take a seat to the Academic Awardees Section. I get to see some schoolmates whom I know excels in almost everything at school whether it was academic or non-academic. I quietly seated at the back because I don't even know why I should be there. So I tapped one of my schoolmate and a former classmate in one of my subjects to ask about the said event. So he looked for my invitation on his right side and gave it to me. Below is a copy of my invitation. Just click on the image for a larger view.

I immediately opened the invitation and browsed inside. there are names of Dean's Listers Inside. and on the third page, I found the Special Citations.

And there it was! The first one on the list was me! I got happy because i got the "Best in Computer Programming 2". Hurray to me! Compro2 or Computer Programming 2 is Visual Basic. That means I got the highest grade on that subject for the school year 2007-2008. Double Hurray! I got excited to blog about this because its one of my achievements at school. Below is the Certificate that i got. Again, click on the picture for a better view. All pics taken with a Sony Ericsson K550i.
