Your biggest accomplishment in school

[triggrhappy94]

Pretty much all in the title.
What was you're biggest accomplishment in school (don't just say graduate).

I've written a paper for English and a term paper for History, totaling 14 pages, in one day. It took me 12 hours sitting at the computer.
-there's been more than that, that's just the first one that came to mind-
I have a friend, who as a freshmen, had a science project he did for an AP/Honors Bio class go all the way to the State level Science fair.

Not getting expelled I suppose.

 

[Twilight_guy]

Either graduating from high school with high honors or programming an NFA to DFA converter in a day.

I was a straight A/A* student. I'm not even incredibly intelligent, I just put a shitload of work into it. I knew so many people who were much smarter than me and did worse. Not that I was happy that people did worse than me, but I'm proud of the amount of work I put in. Besides, shouldn't my biggest accomplishment be that? being pretty much the whole point?

 

[kebab4you]

Wrote a very simple game engine which my local elementary school have used once to teach about working together on a project, wrote it as a final project before I graduated.

 

[AlloAllo]

I had to bring a short thesis for the finals, so I wrote those fourteen pages the day before the exam- the short thesis was a psychological study on the character of Vladek of "Maus".
My finest work. *sniff*

Oh, and always for the finals I wrote an essay that got the highest grade- it was about fame and all the professors complimented me.

...Sadly, the other two written exams and the orals didn't go that smoothly.

 

[Blackmagic1515]

Erm...probably when I wrote an essay within about two hours the night before it was due in and still managed an A. Yeah I kinda bluffed my way through most of school >.>

Edit: Actually it might be when in Year 9 for our SATs, I got the second highest score in the year. Was only a few points behind the leader was well. Was pretty damn happy with that.

Getting a B in A-Level maths six years early...

 

[Jonluw]

I guess that would be my teacher reading my essay to the class.
Happened just last year, but it isn't really such an achievement I suppose.

Oh, and getting a top grade on my English exam despite making my presentation way too short and without really knowing much of the curriculum.

 

[Jamster003]

Don't know if it's an accomplishment or not, but we were doing a test on religion, and instead of answering the question I wrote a 3 page letter about how I felt about religion. (I'll say this now, it was not offensive, I gave points for and against.) Since my school didn't like the idea of somebody thinking there are other religions other than christianity and Islam, I got kicked out of the class. At least I wasn't the only one and it gave me time to focus on other subjects.

I guess the biggest accomplishment would be completing my Math and English GCSEs a year early. No math class in the final year was brilliant.

Hmm. Managing to talk my way out of expulsion ranks pretty high. A terrible set of circumstances and some seeeerious lack of judgement on my part led to me nearly getting thrown out, but somehow I managed to talk my way out of it. Saved my friends arse too. He was a prefect and he nearly lost his badge because of me.

Academically though, I'm not too sure. I've never really struggled at anything and as such never felt a sense of accomplishment. I guess repeatedly noticing (and fixing) programming errors my teacher has made in my computing course is something I'm proud of. I'm not sure if he leaves these in intentionally or if it's just honest mistakes.

I'm taking four history courses at a school with a notoriously difficult history department and I still maintain interactive social contact with friends off of a computer.

Even if I make nothing but Cs at the end of the semester, that's still freaking amazing in my book.

 

[FreakSheet]

Principle's List Grade 10, and hopefully this year too ^^

Also, writing a 15 page essay when the teacher asked for a 7 page one, and he said "I wanted to spend time with my daughter but I couldn't because I was marking your essay." I'm sure he wasn't serious (if so, sorry daughter) but it was just so funny how he said that.

 

[Athinira]

Staying awake for any one lesson.

Probably getting close to the girl I loved when I was in school and gifting her a star.

At the same time it was also my biggest mistake that I wasn't able to to tell her what I truly felt due to problems I had with myself and just letting her go.

Yeah, never felt this way again.


edit: as for academic achievements...I guess I never had to learn except for Latin and still finished school

Let see-
I once score 90% on a science test on electricity which meant I was rank 1st aswell (I score the most) but it lead to accusation from my fellow classmate claiming I cheated which I didn't (and no I didn't rub it in front of them).

I was place second in this Welsh award thing for my poet about making the most horrid food. Consider that my English isn't so great (it was under English category) I felt chuff about it.
Let see, in High School-

I won this competition for guessing the closest amount of peas store in a jar. I was just using my lucky numbers (147 while the exact amount was 152). The prize was getting aminiature heroes (a mini bucket that contain selection of chocolates like Bournville Dairy Milk, Dairy Milk Caramel, Eclairs and eetc).

Slept with a cheerleader cause of a shared interest in bondage, a story than never stops messing with peoples minds when told in person ^^
Otherwise i did well in the various subjects, but never noticeably better than most people so meh.

Top grades in gym and English, as well as my oral exam in communication & culture. I'm also proud of the grade I got in my "Text and argumentation" class at Uni, even if it was "just" a C. I stayed up all night working on a 10 page paper, writing an analisys on Nicolas Rescher's philosophical text "The role of rhetorics in rational argumentation". Jesus, that was some hard stuff.
