Everyone thinks I don't deserve this award. I say to them FUCK YOU! I worked and showed interest in what I did and I earned this award. Sure I may not be the smartest student who achieves top marks, but I show a passion for what I do and this is my reward for that. Also I was given $500 prize money.
I will just say that the award was given to mature aged students studying in the field. Many students were nominated and a panel of staff chose me. I felt very lucky to get this and to have my wonderful partner with me on such an occasion.
