I wrote an 8,000 word documentation for a Computer Studies Scholarship in my final year.
I didn't get the Scholarship. Not even close.

Getting A's on nearly all of my tests (I think there was one occasion where I got a B) without studying, somehow I also managed to get higher marks than those who did study like most of my scores were in the high end of the 90's, in fact the only occasion I can think of where I actually studied was a few weeks ago when our science teacher (Who is classifiably retarded) announced we had a test in two days after not covering any of the stuff she was actually supposed to teach us and instead basing the whole four weeks of classes on making motherfucking Catapults, I shit you not, we were doing a topic on energy and she taught us about friggin' catapults she tried to say that by learning about catapults and trebuchets we were learning about energy transfer or some crap but yeah, still managed to ace that test, no thanks to her teaching techniques.
Whipping up an A+ essay in two hours the night before it was due and making a model of the Human Digestive system the night before it was due, and said model is currently being displayed in the science block of the school.
And scoring higher than the actual bar would go on most of my topics in my Year 7 Naplan test strangely enough I managed to even do so with the writing portion and my punctuation is, well, shit to say the least (Too bad Naplan doesn't count for anything).
Wow that's longer than I thought it would be

Graduated with my Bachelors with a 3.327 GPA and was on the Dean's List. Also, I graduated on time. Which might not sound like a big deal, but when I took a mental assessment of me and all my friends from high school, I was one of 4 people I know that graduated. The rest either dropped out, joined the navy (because they got 0.0 GPA for two semesters,) had kids, got married, decided to just party all the time, DWI's, drug addictions.
Yeah. Graduating from University is a big deal.

My older brother and I are the only pair of brothers to both go through all four years of computer aided design in our high school getting A's all eight years, he was (2003-2007) I was (2007-2011) a record that will forever stand since CAD III and CAD IV were cut from the school after I graduated. Ironically the teacher could never once spell our last name correctly.
For my Final CAD IV project, I created a model of a Wii Remote in AutoDesk Inventor

I'm a straight A student, some subjects I just find easy, (Biology/English) but others I work my ass off for (Physics/Maths) - that's A levels, GCSE's were a total cakewalk.
I think my greatest achievements are when I stand up and argue against teachers as a representative of the school - as in, actual representative, not just some schmuck who kissed enough ass to get on the school Captains Team.

Making a 24 overall on the ACT in 7th or the beginning of 8th grade. Hard to remember really. Haven't had a B in high school yet on a report card despite my extreme laziness. Currently making higher grades than everyone else in my AP US History class on tests without studying or even looking at notes more than once. The one time I haven't made the highest grade on a test I was 2 points behind with a 98.
Some of the younger English members here might remember a certain crisis...though it may just have been my city. Many schools were designated to be closed down and merged into special 'academies', usually including several different school populations. Our school was set to merge with a rival neighbourhood, and the academy would be deep in that area of town.Father Time said:
Even the buses stopped going into that area of town. The students kept pulling parts of the engine out whenever they stopped, or messing with the emergency door.
There was no way in hell we were going to get to school unscathed. Those kids hated us.
So we fought back. There was a team of five or six of us - we'd originally started as a kind of journalism club, though with a lack of actual stuff to do, we wound up organising events and such. The headteacher got a hold of two of us - myself and the designated leader, and the two of us worked out the protests and the propaganda and its distribution, including a pretty neat chant that spread among all the targeted schools, which was most certainly written by my comrade.
It was a hard fight, and the police insisted on breaking up every protest they could - peaceful protests apparently aren't allowed in the West - and the mayor learned that we were not fond of him at all. And eventually, our school was saved. We'd managed to complete the special task we were given just between the two of us.
How the hell? I'll be lucky to get a C, and Maths was my best subject in secondary school.SckizoBoy said:
I guess my best accomplishment would be getting on the gifted and talented register at my secondary school, but probably just because of the Maths thing.

But ive found its the easy way, forget been the nice guy, be the kinky one, not only does it mean people are less likely to just dismiss you as just been mister nice guy, you end up with some great stories to tell!
Almost makes up for been a socially useless nerd at times.
Yeah I know.Ulquiorra4sama said:
I just didn't want 15 "Graduate High Scool" then the thread die.
Getting great to excellent marks across the board (A's in Maths, Specialist Maths, Chemistry and Physics with a C in English) without doing any work outside of school. I did the work in class, and any assigned work and that was it. I understood the concepts and work and any additional study bored me.
I was also elected Deputy Head Boy, but I don't consider it much of an accomplishment. It was a shallow pool of candidates who ran for the Student Executive, and of those elected, only two of us ran for Head Boy...
