Back in high school I took place in a talent show. There were nineteen contestants. There were three different categories of performance with six places each of winners and runners up. Three times six equals eighteen winners. I was the one person who got nothing for my poetry reading. I got mad skills.
Once, when I lived in El Paso, Texas, I travelled all the way to New Mexico somewhere for a Regionals competition for several activities. I did a clay sculpture for the art competition, played ping pong and participated in a spelling bee. The sculpture got 8th place. I didn't even place in the ping pong. The spelling bee was more like a bumble bee, earning me absolute last place. I got mad skills.
Once, when I was in high school in Seoul, Korea, I put together a science project that involved playing various styles of music to common household plants. I conducted the experiment, did my research and wrote up everything into a comprehensive report complete with charts, diagrams, bibliography, etc. I spent months on the project so that I could participate in my high school's annual science symposium which takes place in Tsukuba, Japan. I was told my project wasn't very scientific so I couldn't go. I got mad skills.
