In ye olden days of elementary school, I was on the Battle of the Books team from third grade (when we were allowed to join) up till fifth grade.I don’t know if this is just a Florida thing—we were given 15 “Sunshine State” books, and the goal was to read them all, know them cover-to-cover, and then compete at school, regional, and state levels while being quizzed on these books.In third grade, my team won against a whole bunch of fourth and fifth graders. We had over double the amount of points of second place. We lost the regional round by less than 10 points, and were the only third grade team in the room.And then we won again in fourth and fifth grade, winning regional in fourth but losing the semi-finals, and then losing regional in fifth grade too. But we had kids from all the other grades telling us “good, get outta here so someone else can win.” So. First taste of talent. By fifth grade the other two girls in my team hated me, so maybe not the best memories.Also in elementary school and also relating to my horrible antisocial habits, we had these Reading Counts quizzes, right? Read a book, take a quiz on it, and get a certain number of points based on the “level” of the book. As an example, Harry Potter books could score you 70 points while Junie B. Jones might get you 10.In fifth grade, my class won the contest amongst fifth graders, solely because of me, and I’m not even exaggerating. The principal had to come to my class and say that for the pizza party, where the highest score in each class got to come chill, first and second place from my class could go because. Um. Second place had, like 80 points? And I had… 2000? Something like that. I won a blanket in fourth grade for a similar contest.This is, I think, where my friends started to hate me.Anyway. I did art in elementary school, but I don’t remember winning anything for it. I could’ve just forgotten, though.I feel like I won more awards for my art in middle school than I have in high school, despite very rarely feeling good about it. I had one clay piece win something in the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards—I have the poster to prove it—but I didn’t realize what it was until I got to high school and my art teacher there submitted my stuff. I also had a piece go on display at the Dali Museum at a student surrealism show, and then a colored pencil drawing I did of the front hallway of my school got some kind of award in some show. I have no idea which one. My middle school art teacher wasn’t super communicative.Also in eighth grade, my NHD (National History Day) group moved on to regional judging. I… don’t really count this as any sort of achievement, because a certain number from all of the different categories were moving on. Different categories like individual/group exhibit, individual/group performance, etc. And… we were the only group performance. So we were guaranteed regionals. We sucked.High school!A photo for my Photography 1 class was displayed at the county Admin Building—I took the photo freshman year but the display was my sophomore year. Also sophomore year, I had two Honorable Mentions in the regional Scholastic Art and Writing Awards—a digital painting and a charcoal still life. (This is where I found out what my middle school clay piece actually won.)Junior year—also known as this school year I just finished—I had one Honorable Mention and two Gold Keys at Scholastic. (Honorable Mention was an ink drawing, one Gold was a digital painting, and the other Gold was a watercolor.) The watercolor Gold Key, Elegant, also won a National Merit Nomination—one of five in the county, meaning I was up for the running for a National Merit Medal on a country-wide level.The two Gold Keys were automatically submitted for judging on the national level, and my watercolor painting won a national Silver Medal—which, fun fact, is the first national award ever won by a student from my school.My county also recognized me for winning a national award, but the medal they gave me is way less impressive.(Kinda joking, but it really is smaller. This Scholastic medal is massive.)

Throughout the years, I’ve had my up’s and down’s, but I’ve always been fascinating with ranking my experiences at school.I could go on all day long about things that have happened throughout my life, good or bad, but since I am still in high school, I would express my love and hatred through school years.I am only a sophomore, so I can only go to this current 10th grade year, but I have a pretty good idea where I’d rank each school year. Let’s begin.#12: 4th Grade4th Grade was hell for me in more ways than one. While I had the best teacher and sub I have ever had in my life, I had panic attacks every day, I’d have meltdowns every day, and I got dozens of IV’s simply because I’d stress myself out that much.I tried to make the most out of that year, but when I moved, it was as if I was growing up, which was something I never wanted to do.As the process went along, I realized it wasn’t so bad, but at the time, it was hell.#11: 5th Grade5th Grade was honestly very average and forgettable. I did make a few friends, but the friendships truly came in 6th grade, and I’ll have more on that later.5th Grade was the year that I visited a college for the first time, which was cool and all, but my teachers were very average.That year was also the last time I have seen for friends for quite a while, so it holds a place in my heart, but not much of one.#10: 8th GradeFor me, I was with someone I really should never have talked to, and that’s entirely my fault, so it really overshadowed the year.That year, my favorite choir teacher had found a new school, and at the time, I wasn’t too fond of her replacement.However, 8th Grade was the year I began playing trombone, which was truly magical. Playing instruments always bring me lots of joy, and learning trombone was an amazing experience.We had some pretty neat songs we played through, including everyone’s favorite Comet Ride, and it was really fun.8th Grade was also my last year at the middle school. I never had to deal with that pesky bus monitor and I finally felt free. It was absolutely amazing.I was sick on the days our grade did all the fun stuff, so that sucked, but my friends took me to Six Flags that summer because I didn’t get to go, which, by the way, is one of the nicest things any non-family member has done for me. I really appreciated that day.8th Grade was also the year the second best presentation was given. My friend Nathan did a presentation on my friend Noah, explaining his malicious intentions involving Communism, and it was amazing.The actual best presentation will come up later.#9: 7th Grade7th Grade was a really fun year, not gonna lie. I had amazing teachers that I really connected with, and I had even more friends.Early on in the year, we had a horror short story unit, which ended up being my second favorite unit I’ve ever done in an English class, and we read The Outsiders, which remains as the best book we read in middle school.However, I did have to get shots that year because of terrible allergies, and I would always get bad headaches.Along with that, my arms would always hurt, so if anyone was ever pushed into me, my arms would cry in agony.However, it was a pretty fun time. We were on our way to growing up, but we could still enjoy our time as kids.#8: Freshman YearLast year was something else, I’ll tell you that.We were introduced to a completely new building, and since we were Freshmen, we were automatically targets.However, it wasn’t as bad as you’d think. I had a ton of amazing teachers, which has fortunately carried into, if not improved on, this year, and those teachers really helped a lot.Sure, the classes were tough, but I only had problems with one very specific teacher. The other was cool but he just gave me anxiety.My social life that year was a nightmare. I got really fucked up last year because of some things that had happened (as my friend puts it, I am really good at getting myself into terrible situations) but Scholastic Bowl really made up for all of that because of the Saturday tournaments. Coming home super late was always amazing as well.One time we talked about spooky dreams and it was just a scary, incredible experience.Band was absolutely amazing last year. We formed a jazz band, which is cool because we are a very small school. We also played one of my favorite pieces, Centrifuge, and we played in front of the elementary school and at a nursing home. It was so heart-warming to see those there like our music.#7: Sophomore YearThis year so far has been so much better on me from a mental perspective. I’m on good terms with people I haven’t been, and my friends are a lot more supportive because of last year.The one teacher I had problems with is gone and I no longer take art so my anxiety from that class is gone too. Now all I have to worry about is boredom.This year, I have discovered lots of wonderful, amazing songs I had never heard before, and I absolutely love it. Spotify is essentially my life. My top 5 favorite songs are all ones I discovered this year, and all of them are from the 60’s-80’s, which is a big improvement because music sucks nowadays.This year, we had my favorite English unit, which actually just was short stories in general. Our teacher has really good taste, and so I thoroughly enjoyed every story he presented us.#6: KindergartenKindergarten, as far as I know, was really cool. I had some really cool friends back then when it was all so simple. I hung out with a girl named Sabrina and her friend, but I don’t remember her friend’s first name. One time I was crying and she helped me out so she’s a legend for that.There was this girl called Mazie in Kindergarten that was honestly really cool but she moved sadly after that year.Kindergarten was also the year I began playing soccer. In fact, I actually remember our first practice when we agreed on a name. We agreed on Shooting Stars, and we were well on our way already.I hadn’t met my original friend group yet in Kindergarten, that’ll come up later, but it was amazing.Over time, I’ve kinda realized my elementary school years were basically Beatles albums, so if Kindergarten year was supposed to represent a Beatles album, I’d say it was Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, since it was classic and full of amazing songs. Those one-hit wonders were amazing.Also in Kindergarten, there was this sandbox game where you could color everything in that I was obsessed with.#5: 2nd GradeWhen I was thinking about the order of these grades, it was extremely tough because 2nd Grade and KIndergarten were basically equal, but only one thing separated the two: Quest for R2-D2.I don’t know if anyone remembers this game, but this was my absolute favorite back in the day, just barely beating out the sandbox game.2nd grade was tough because I wasn’t in the same class as my friends I had made in 1st grade, but it was absolutely amazing.We’d play with Lego's all day long, I began collecting Pokemon Cards in 2nd Grade, the works.We read and watched Where The Red Fern Grows in 2nd Grade as well. It didn’t hit me because I have never owned a dog, but it lead to our teacher wanting us to bring in our own flashback movies to watch as a class.I had originally brought in the movie Secondhand Lions, which was my favorite at the time, but apparently there was a cuss word in it so I brought in Hoodwinked instead.My mom made the excellent choice of having me bring these ice cream treats in for the class. I had to store them in the teacher’s lounge, and I may or may not have eaten a couple other food items inside.If 2nd Grade was a Beatles album, it would have to be The White Album, because it was just all over the place.#4: 1st Grade1st Grade was the year I met my first true friend group. Their names were Kyle, who is now a football player, Deon, who probably should be one, and Will, the principal’s son.In 1st Grade, some kid took off Will’s glasses and broke them in the bathroom. Since Will couldn’t see, we still don’t know who did it. That same year, we had a sub who was downright utterly disrespectful.During roll call, she called Will’s name. Apparently, to her, something was wrong with Will’s name, as she proclaimed, “WIll isn’t a name! Tell me your real name or I’ll report you to the office!”Unfortunately for he, Will was the principal’s son, and when we told her, she literally yelled “I QUIT!” before running down the hallway and out the back doors. Never saw her again, but it was definitely crazy.Also in 1st Grade, my friend group would like to act as spies and such, so we would make computers out of pieces of paper and pretend to search up places to buy weaponry like bazooka’s, tanks, etc.If 1st Grade had to be a Beatles album, it would have to be Revolver because I don’t remember it all so well, but I do remember it was absolutely classic.#3: 6th GradeNow we arrive in 6th grade. As soon as I had heard about a very specific 6th Grade teacher, I had wanted to be in her class. Her college was Quincy University, from where I was from, and her personality was amazing.On the first day, I told her I’m from Quincy and she immediately had a ton of respect for me.Also on the very first day, we did this detective work assignment and I fell in love with it. All that on just the very first day. It was absolutely heaven.And it just gets better from there. Politics came up a lot, and there was a magazine she was subscribed to that always posted hilarious political comics on the back, which was absolutely amazing.6th Grade was when I started doing Scholastic Bowl, and I immediately had a blast. It was basically just trivia, and it had caught my eye early on.We had a science/tech teacher that year named Mr. Herberts who introduced us to my 3rd favorite unit ever, which was all about real life optical illusions.I was introduced to Percy Jackson in 6th Grade, and I read through as many Rick Riordan books as I possibly could.6th Grade hosted the best presentation ever given, by my friends Noah and Nathan. What made it so good was that Nathan was given the name “Timmy” throughout the presentation, and at the end, Noah hit him over the head pretty hard with their invention, which was absolutely hilarious.#2: Pre-KPre-K will always hold a special place in my heart so many reasons.The 2nd-to-most recent time I visited my hometown, I went to a local ice cream shop and as soon as I saw this one woman there, I just knew I had seen her before.She asked my grandma if it was me, and also if I remembered her, before revealing she was my Pre-K teacher. I about cried right there honestly. She was so amazing and gave me so many great memories.We went to a farm one time and I remember she liked me the most. The farm was absolutely amazing.The best song I heard in Pre-K must’ve been “The Ants Go Marching” and she introduced me to that.We went to a fire station once and it was absolutely incredible. I remember running home with my fireman hat on. It was amazing.We used to play Duck Duck Goose all the time, and let me tell you, nothing gets your heart racing like a game of Duck Duck Goose.In Kindergarten, I began to read a lot. My favorite place was the Quincy Public Library, and it became a second home to me.They used to being this little bus named Buster the Bus to tell us different safety issues and things like that concerning buses.I’ll always love my Pre-K year, and if you can’t tell, it would take an absolutely golden year to beat it. Luckily, I had one.#1: 3rd GradeThis grade needs no introduction. This is simply classic. The last year of elementary school. If this was a Beatles album, this would by god be Abbey Road. The classic finale, basically.My friend group was utterly amazing, us 4. Just like The Beatles in a way.In music class, my teacher would let me stay after sometimes and mess around on some keyboards she owned. We played so many fun games in music class all throughout my 4 years, but 3rd Grade was its peak.Also in 3rd Grade, one day when Will was sick, Kyle and Deon talked about a girl from the 60’s who had found a door in the floor, went down it, and was never seen again. A month or so later, I actually found the door, and became the coolest person in the grade.Kyle and I both developed a crush on the same girl in 3rd Grade, and that sucked, but the girl, Autumn, was always a really good friend since our mom’s were friends.This other girl, whose name I think was Annie, absolutely loved me that year, and I hate to say it but I didn’t want too much to do with her. Now, I see that she was honestly one of the coolest people I’ve ever known, but I did hurt her feelings a lot so I feel terrible about that.In 3rd Grade contained what was probably the best day of my life. I was able to go on a limousine ride and visit two different pizza shops on the same day. And that’s not all.That year we had done this boys vs. girls competition to see who could collect the most bottle caps because back then some would be worth like 5 or 10 cents each.I’d always bring in about 40 from my uncle’s, and that year, my friend group went to a Pepsi factory while they counted all the bottle caps. They gave us a tour of the place and actually let us swim in a dumpster full of sweet smelling bottle caps. That day was amazing.I played Temple Run for the first time in 3rd Grade and got a score of over 5 million for Temple Run 2.One time we all went to school dressed up and our class had this big thing going on at recess which was basically like a movie.Me and Autumn, that girl I liked, got to show different parents around the school whose child would be coming to the school the following year. It was so nice to see those kids.And speaking of kids, in 3rd Grade, before we got to our first class, they’d let the 3rd Grader’s read books to the Kindergartner's if we’d like, and I took full advantage over that. It made me extremely happy to read them the books I loved.I do remember towards the end of 3rd grade my friend group were reminiscing about the past even then, talking about the good ol’ days as if they were already gone. Personally, I think the good ol’ days haven’t left, and when I’m old, even this time now will seem like heaven.3rd Grade was truly a blessing that really capped off my childhood.I had to take an IQ quiz at the end of the year but they didn’t tell me how to shade so I filled in a smiley face and walked out bravely. The rest of the kids got scared because of how fast I had finished, which I find hilarious.I used to love National Geographic Kids magazines, and one of their little segments is called Signs of the Times, where 6 of the 8 are real and you have to pick out the two fakes. Well, Kyle and I found a hilarious sign which was an outhouse that said “Public Westroom. Where the west still lives.” That was probably my first ever inside joke.That same year, I found my favorite book series, the A-Z Mysteries, about 3 young kids who solve crimes. I read every single one that year, I made sure.I hope you all liked hearing about my life. Maybe this whole thing will make you think about the past and maybe even appreciate the things in your life you don’t really even think about.Thank you for your time.Leave comments below on what you think about my school experience and what I should do in the next upcoming years. I’d love to hear!

Okay so I guess I fit in this category of being a topper. May be you define someone topper as who stand 1st. Well as far I know about myself. Then I would like to tell you that I have always been a topper in my school days. I got admission in IIT Madras. May be all these things make me a topper , I feel.I have read many answers. Most of them are stating about the loneliness all the toppers suffer.Well my story is different. I have a successful relationship. I have my best friend and quite a good circle of friends.I took part in various co-scholastic activities. I was a no.1 debater of my school. I play guitar.I have also won zonal shotput gold medal. Won many quiz competitions. So basically these are my few achievements apart from studying.I was also head boy of my school. I regularly hit gym and hangout with friends. I attend their birthday party. They attend mine.It's not that I am boasting about myself. It is a reality.The problem with usual Indian toppers is that they just study. They think having friends is wrong. They expect people to call them everytime if they are going out.Toppers here in India just live in their own bubble. Their parents fill in their mind that going out with friends is wrong and so on. That is where problem begins. First they (toppers) ignore whoever try to be their friend and then they want people to be their friend.They don't play , they don't take part , they don't go out. That is their problem not of people who go out. It's give and take. If you give your time to someone they will give it back to you. That is simple phenomenon.Toppers are not team players . They like to live alone and when people start ignoring then they feel bad.So basically if I say about me then fine I fit in category of being topper as I always stand first and other things. But I manage my time very finely. When I have to go to gym , I go to gym. When I have to hangout with my friends , I hangout with them. When I have to do something , I just manage my things correctly.Thank you
