Should I just kill myself lol
My school announced me as valedictorian and then took it away because the board of education revealed a paper that said valedictorian needs to be chosen based on 2nd marking periods result (the 7th semester of high school). This paper was meant to be applied from 1999 but the whole school was unaware of it for the last 28 or more years. The school has been choosing valedictorian based on 3rd marking period result. According to that I was 1st, so the school announced me as valedictorian. But the parents of the student who was first in second marking period brought the paper to the school's attention. The student's dad is also in the board of education and they are pressuring the school to follow that paper's rule. For the last 28 years and maybe more, the school was unaware of this rule but when it's my turn, suddenly the rules came to light. Everything was done, my speech, my essay for valedictorian breakfast bla bla bla. Even for the second marking period, some of my courses were not added and no explanation was given for that. The principal apologised (literally begged) and said the higher ups are just being too pushy. And none of the teachers or studentd were given the explanation as to why the valedictorian changed in like a few weeks after declaration. And everyone keeps asking me what I did and everything is so fucking ass right now... But i guess at least I will be graduating as first of my graduation class and that's the final transcript that will go to my colleges...
I think you should be open about the reason they stripped you of the title, but bring it up as a funny "oh well, this will be a funny anecdote for a LinkedIn post". It's important that people do not realize how much this hurt you.You can even include it as a story in your personal essay, framing it as how you managed to overcome and motivate yours...... 2 reply
you'll realize later that all this valedictorian business is nothingburger. just focus on doing well in college and getting a career that fulfills you. I'm sure you're frustrated right now, but all this will pass, and you will have a story to tell people in the future. 1 reply
Just be honest about this, it’s not your fault. If I were you, I would be getting my parents involved, and if that wouldn’t work, I would go higher. Even if the parent is from the board, they’re not above it and they can’t ignore a complaint. You were treated unfairly, you should focus on the fact that your score wasn't calculated properly...... 2 reply
None of this is your fault, also that's like mega suspicious?? Like why CHANGE you so suddenly? This is like so improper. Valedictorian title is like a big one, I am one myself from Junior high and I understand how incredibly it is unfair to lose that title because of a sudden paper?? Sounds like those parents wanted someone else to be the valedict...... 1 reply
