           rest,  and  collecting  an  accolade  certificate
      I is one such occasion. Since I began year 9, I
      worked hard to try and get on the list but I was al-
      ways with a constant average of 80. But through

      hard work and perseverance, I finally made it.


      When I got the email, I thought it was a mistake,
      and I couldn’t believe my eyes. Even during the
      practice for the assembly, I was still in shock and

      there felt like years, but eventually, the time came.                                                                                                                       VOLTA HOUSE     86.33%                             86.07%
      Nervousness overcame me, and my heart began

      pounding, but I stood up and went in line.
