Q Awards

Honor Society I was able to bond with my community and meet various people. I was able to help in the Chelan Valley Hope and provide food and resources to low income families. Lastly, being nominated and awarded for the Spirit of Chelan award. Spirit of Chelan award is awarded to a person who shows outstanding leadership. Someone who represents the Chelan Valley responsibly and respectfully. This meant a lot to me because I felt like I was contributing to my community in a positive way. I felt proud

intelligent because she has won multiple awards. For example, Lupe won the school spelling bee, she won the blue ribbon award in the science fair, she was the winner of a reading contest at the library three summers in a row, she was also the top student in her piano recital, and she was the playground champion of chess. Talk about a ton of awards, right? Lupe feels like none of these awards mean anything though. Lupe wishes she could win some type of award in athletics, so that she can keep up with

special. On May 28th in my AP Literature class, my teacher handed out note cards for that night’s Senior Awards ceremony. My card had three numbers on it 7,9 and 21. Each number represents the order in which a group of awards would be given out. For instance, since I had number 7 first, I was part of the seventh group to go up on stage and receive an award. I was ecstatic to see which awards I would

In this editorial, Jones began the topic of children getting trophies for doing well and participating in activities. She discussed that she does not support the idea of a child receiving awards for participation. Throughout the article, she made valid points toward her argument against giving children awards, in turn that made me agree with her. There are many reasons as to why children should not be given trophies for participation. The first reason why children should not be given trophies, is

Suggested Headline: Davey Awards Arbor Grant Scholarships to 50 Students Suggested Subheading: Company provides educational support to budding green industry students across the nation.

Twenty-first-century culture is inclined to award trophies to all participants of a sport, even if the participant did little to contribute to the team’s success; they all receive participation awards. In doing this, it may remove the incentive to be the best in that sport. Mathematical equations no longer have right or wrong answers; there is partial or full credit given for following the correct procedure. The students may not be learning where they are making mistakes; therefore, they may not

In my life, I have received countless amounts of medals and awards for the various activities I had participated in. People thought that giving participation awards to children would make them feel better, but instead it made me feel worse. Trophies or medals should only be given when a person or a group of people have achieved the best. Therefore, when they look at these medals they remember when they came out on top, not when they almost came on top or didn't even have a fighting chance. This is

Four Different Variations in Alimony Payments If you are considering a divorce, you may be ordered by a judge to pay alimony to your spouse.

For example, it makes kids entitled. If they grow up receiving awards that are not earned, naturally, they expect other things in life to come to them without putting forth effort. Also, it fails to motivate them. As claimed by Ashley Merryman in her article, “Losing Is Good for You,” “Awards can be powerful motivators, but nonstop recognition does not inspire children to succeed.

A trophy is something that is awarded to those who have succeeded or won at something. Receiving a participation trophy does not award excellence or winning, it awards an attempt at something. As a young athlete growing up, everyone received a trophy no matter what. Even if they finished in last place, a person was handed a trophy for one’s efforts, or a participation trophy. Trophies should be earned rather than be given for their best efforts. Trophies are meant to stand for an achievement for
