Meaning of Valedictorian

<p>I’m valedictorian but did terribly on the SAT. The Salutatorian aced it with no prep. I guess I work hard in school to make up for my actual lack of talent. A few others did better than me as well. Oh well, rank is more a matter of work ethic than intelligence. I guess they have to have some intelligence to do well in APs, etc., but it is more work.</p>
