Have any of you ever won any awards (big or small)?

1st runner up for most talented in HS.

I had to go all the way back to HS for this one, and I was only the runner up!

LOL.

I won the 7th grade spelling bee for my school and got to go to the citywide competiton where I lost on the word fastidious. I spelled it vastidious. It's been downhill ever since-lol....

Got some corny plastic award for a science fair thingy in junior hs.

I won a dessert contest at a local church. I made an oreo cheesecake and all I did to dress it up was that I put a couple raspberries on top with a few mint leaves and I won 1st place. Got a trophy and $50.

I won our high school beauty pageant when I was a senior in high school. And I won camper of the week at church camp in high school. I still have both trophies!

What comes to mind right away is when I was growing up we went to Italian school and every year there was a competition that was Bay Area wide where you had to write and recite an essay in Italian. I always memorized mine and back then my Italian was flawless so I always won sometimes speaking better than the adults doing the judging.

I've got that one too! Can't remember what year it was though. (LOL)

I haven't received any outstanding awards or anything like that. Just a few ribbons or certificates for minor stuff. Mostly artistic junk in school (loooooong time ago) and some small bonuses and reward items/merchandise from former work places for exceptional performance.

Not much here. "Prettiest Smile" my senior year , and city wide spelling bee in middle school. Today I nedd one for most exhausted!!

I received the "Mom of the Year" award this year from a local newspaper for Mother's Day. My 17-year old wrote a letter to nominate me witheout my knowing about it. When the newspaper called to tell me I had won, I thought it was a scam! I was very touched and surprised.

I won "Most Valuable Player" for basketball when I was in high school

A couple of years ago (2005?), I wrote and presented a technical paper for a conference on the design and test of semiconductors (microprocessors, in particular) and won a "Best of Conference" award. Very proud moment for me professionally.

The award that I am most proud of is that I was Valedictorian of my high school graduating class -- 26 years ago.

I won "the Best Teacher" award from my school.

I was Miss Buffalo Hospitality and went to the state finals in Syracuse NY where I placed but didn't win.

It cracks me up to realize that was over 40 years ago

Oh my gosh - I'm sure this was for the Buffalo, NY area, but when I 1st read it I pictured you in a valley in Wyoming bringing REAL Buffalo a tray with snacks. I think I need more sleep....
