What is your most proud moment?

When I lived in San Antonio, my elementary school encouraged academic success with something called the Principal's Award. Anyone in third grade and above could work towards it. It was a bit of a tall order with perfect attendance, but you had to have perfect attendance, straight As, and consistently good behavior.

The Principal's Award, though, was funded by a wealthy dentist, and he would pay for the students who received the reward to ride a limo to Olive Garden, and he'd pay for our lunch there as well. It was glorious. Also, in the limo ride, we got to drink sparkling juice.

I won it twice.

A lot of kids won the award that time. Since it's a bunch of kids, of course at least some of us would go buck-wild. Well, I was one of them the first time going. One kid was eating from packets of sugar, so I got the brilliant idea to put a bunch of Splendas into my Sprite.

The second time, we went the day before or on Halloween. Thriller by Michael Jackson played in the limo. Two other kids in my class had also won the award, which was pretty lit to me. Not as many kids had won the award the next time.

Unnnnnnfoooortunately, I didn't win the award again after that, due to missing school for some *hem hem* gastrointestinal problems. I didn't mind, though, since I had already won twice.
