Whoever said, "Work hard, you will achieve your goal!" was the biggest liar ever. Take me for example. In my school, some special tests are conducted known as SOF Olympiads. These tests are always one step ahead of our classes. For instance if I am a second class student the test will consist of 3rd class syllabus. I've been taking and winning these tests in all subjects (English, maths, science, computer) since my first grade. Each year I have won silver or gold medal in each subject. My house is full of them. Now thing is, each year my teachers just calls the students who won gold medal and they get their medals and prizes from principal and guests and whole school recognizes them and they get fame and everything. There's this girl, i wont tell her real name so just imagine me as Suzanne and her as Natasha. She has won less times than me but still she get her all medals on stage and I get mine in a corner of an isolated class. Everyone thinks that she is a genius and I am invisible girl about whom no one knows. It's been 10 years like this, i never complained. This year I literally worked hard and I finally got my first gold, in English. No one else got any position in English or computer or science, only Natasha got another gold in maths. So basically it was me and her who got medals (gold) in Olympiad in whole classes of 300 students. I was literally damn happy. Finally after 10 years of handwork I achieved what I was looking for. I started imagining myself on stage and I started imagining of how my friends will react when they finally know about me. But a month after results Natasha came to me and gave me my certificate WITHOUT my medal. I was shocked. I went to ask the teacher in charge about it. He said he will give it to me soon. I asked what about being on stage and all. HE said that this year no one will get their medals on stage. I felt kinda sad but I was calm because if i am not getting it, Natasha is not getting it on stage either. But still i requested him to please let me take my reward on stage. I continued requesting him about it next 3 months. I literally begged him. He finally said yes. Then yesterday like usual I was in twice-a-week-assembly. I was standing in the audience when I see Natasha getting up on stage and receiving her medal from our principal. That shattered my heart. And not only that, everyone including those who didn't got any prize went on the stage to get their damn participation certificate. I was there in the audience waiting that maybe if they call my name I can still run from audience and go to stage but no. I kept waiting for my name to be called but it never did. My principal said, "I am proud of you Natasha. You are the ONLY one to get a gold medal this year." Only my bestie knew that even I have won too. I was crying and my bestie was trying to make me stop. After almost whole day at school, I went to my incharge and asked about my medal. He said oh sorry, I forgot. He gave me my medal IN A CORNER OF AN ISOLATED CLASS and said that try harder this time and we will give you medals on stage next time as if getting a gold medal is an easy affair. I am literally crying while typing this. I think I am worthless and I don't deserve it. Can someone please help me?
