<p>Hey guys!
Ok, I've noticed that I really lack awards. Do you know of any English/history/speech awards or contests that I can pursue? I've tried Voice of Democracy.. and I came in like 3rd locally.. but that's not impressive. If you have anything ~ especially essay or speech contests, please tell me.
Thanks!</p>
<p>JFK Courage essay....</p>
<p>go to Fastweb.com and check out some</p>
<p>you "lack" awards.......arghhh does everyone really need to have awards to succeed in life.......hmmmm :rolleyes: :rolleyes:</p>
<p>lol anyways didn't mean to sound rude^^ sorry if i came off sounding like it ...ummmwell just google high school awards + english or high school competitions + english + [NAME OF YOUR STATE] or something like that....you should get some good results... :)</p>
<p>Ha ha ha... I know what you mean! I talk to people at school, and they have so many stupid little awards that, added together, seem really big! </p>
<p>I have... nothing! I love competition, but I think that academic awards ("In 500 words, describe your plan for world peace") are really kinda frivolous. Now, I'm a junior, and I realize... yeah, it's a stupid hoop, but perhaps I should have jumped through it.</p>
<p>Thank you ss6622, I'll look into it.
AnitaVM, I've already done that a million times, and nothing really came up that was interesting.. But thanks anyway. =P
CLeighDrie, oh my goodness.. I have soo many of those frivolous awards, like "special recognition" or "special appreciation" awards for drama and music.. but seriously, you and I both understand survival of the fittest. We have to be prepared with our sword and shield!</p>
<p>bump buuuuump</p>
<p>National History Day is the only english / social studies thing I can think of.</p>
<p>Umm...also if you are into poetry, you can submit to poetry.com----but that is a minor achievement (getting it online), I guess.</p>
<p>Look into writing stories and having them put into Teen Magazines that are legit.</p>
<p>ooh poetry!
Yea, I've always wanted to be published, but I never knew how. Like, I've been published in my school's literary magazine, but it would so much more impressive if it was like a local paper.
hmm</p>
