| I would only share the info with close friends if they asked specificlly and he didn't want to appear rude by not answering or evading the question. That way it would not be construed as bragging. A truthful answer with no bravado thrown in should be well received since they ( his good friends) asked to begin with.
Conversely, I would hesitate to let the high score "slip out" in hopes that it might impress teachers. You never know how things may get twisted along the way. Remember that "gossip" game we all played as kids?
S was a top student in his h.s class so was prob. expected to do well which he did. He was NM Commended and nobody even knew about it or knew what it was. He was not recognized by his school and never mentioned it to anybody. Also received full ride scholarship to his college but didn't bother to report it to the school newspaper who published all scholarships in the senior edition. His attitude was that he was happy with what he had achieved so it didn't matter what anybody else thought. |
