9th Grade Award Assembly

Today was our 9th grade Award Assembly (As the title says). So, I got a medal of 'Nerditude'... hahaha, I was hyper in the assembly. So, I got a medal for Honors Geography, awarded for academic excellence and such, so yeah. I also got the presidential academic award, and they said 'It's the most prestigious award out there' what I want to know, is, if it's so prestigious, why where there so many of us? (For those of you who weren't there, there where at least 40 of us... probably more) And, so, to close, I say congratulations to all of you out there who where awarded something, most likely you deserved it, but, some of you... hahaha... jk.
