<p>I’m a Semifinalist for National Acheivement. I was the only one in my school this year. There was also only one National Merit Semifinalist this year. But we had about 4 Commended Students, and about 3 National Hispanic Scholars. There’s usually more of all of these at my school, but my grade overall is pretty dumb :P</p>
<p>People congratulated me, including teachers, principal, guidance etc. They put a little blurb + pic in the local paper, like they do every year.</p>
