Back in primary school (I said primary and not elementary because I am very smart), the teachers handed out these little chains that you wear around your neck. Of course, since I was a simple-minded kindergartner, I started chewing on it. What the chains were actually for was to put these little charms on it. Every quarter, the entire school met up in the gym and they would hand out awards for each class. There was a music award, gym award, homework award, and the best one, the principal’s award. There were two of each award handed out to every class, and it was always one boy and one girl who got them, in the name of equality. Actually, there was one award that wasn’t just limited to two, and that was the homework pass. Every person who finished all their homework assignments for the entire quarter was given the homework award. The homework award was probably the worst charm because everyone had one. I probably had at least twelve of them. I never received an award that wasn’t the homework award. Years passed, and every time they called the boy and girl to receive the music award and the gym award or any award, I was never called. While all the other kids flexed on me with all their different charms, I had a pitiful chain with just a bunch of homework charms. Eventually, I stopped caring and just threw my homework charm away after they gave it to me. On the last day of what I think was second or third grade, I was not present at school because I went to Virginia or New Jersey. I don’t really remember. When I got back home, the school had mailed a principal’s award to me. If you didn’t know, the principal’s award is the most prestigious charm out of all of them. It’s the one you bring out when you want to flex all the charms you have. I don’t think they gave me the charm because I was a good student, but it was just because I missed the last day of school celebrations. This theory was proved when Khang was also sent a principal’s award. The charm was useless to me anyway since I had already lost my chain. I never did get to flex that principal’s award.
