Award Ceremonies, they are designed to give people of all ages satisfaction in themselves for achieving a variety of goals. The variety of ceremonies is large and they can differ in excitement levels. Last weekend it seemed there was two ceremonies going on in my world although I was only invited to one.
To overgeneralize things I can start off by telling you that all award ceremonies are boring, whether or not you are receiving an award at them at all. Especially when over 100 other people are getting the same award.
In my ceremony we were recognized for earning the Canada Cord in Girl Guiding, there was also some adult awards and some Commissioner's Gold award for Rangers. We had to line up in alphabetical order to walk in and sit behind our families. I was number 20 out of 114, we sat in the backish of the auditorium.
We also had special cards prepared that had our favorite guiding moments on them. So imagine over 100 girls walking up to a microphone and telling us their favorite moment. It's interesting at first, but then it gets just plain boring. It was fun to get a certificate and stand up in front of all those people, even if it scared me to death.
If you didn't know, I don't like public speaking. At all. So I enjoyed it but was scared to death at the same time.
All in all the things to remember about award ceremonies are that you're supposed to enjoy them. So if you have a ceremony coming up be sure to have fun and be proud.
