| Just got back from baccalaureate night. I got my gold cord for 3.8 to 4.0 GPA (there was only 9 of us). I also got my NHS stoll. As for scholarships I got the MCC Faculty Scholarship for $200. It was kinda ironic because I asked Mrs. Dornbos to recommend me, and she was the one who handed it out. Stefani Gilbert also got it. Tonight we also found out about the Muskegon County Community Foundation scholarships. I got a measely $700. True, it's better than nothing, but not nearly as much as I needed. Hopefully it's at least renewable. Stefani Gilbert got $4,000 from it! As for awards I got pins for play and yearbook. I also got recognition certificates for English and Social studies, as well as a plaque for 4 years of "academic excellence." Mrs. Wiewiora announced that I got the Michigan Competitive Scholarship, but I can't use it out of state so it's pointless. Overall, the night wasn't bad. Katie walked away with a garbage bag full of awards...practically. I still don't like my job, and they just fired a cook, but wednesday was pay day, and I got to see the fruits of my labor. A whole $180 some dollars, after taxes of course. Stacey said she should be able to hire me full time in the summer, but since I don't like my job I don't want to work full time. Maybe I'll get used to it. If 20 hours a week is bad, how much worse will 40 be? | |

ALskokinMYMouth | 05-28-04 3:33pm You are lucky.. They did not even mention the scholarship that I got for Community so that was kind of weird. Then there was some people who got nothing at all Chelsea Wheeler and her mom was pissed so I don't think that you should feel bad...... |
jburt1 | Re:, 05-29-04 12:51am Thanks for keeping me down to earth, kenesha. It is crap that some people got garbage bags full of awards (even though they deserve them (katie)) and that others got nothing. But that is life. By the way, good luck taking care of your friend's baby. |
Anonymous | Re: Re:, 06-04-04 2:18pm Yeah as you know I am one who never gives up. You know from me and Andre are arguing. I truly dragged myself into a massive hole. I was not going to help but my step-mom told me not to give up on her because one that would not be right. Oh yeah me i have another journal |
