In honour of the biggest fails thread I thought one for the opposite would be appropriate!
What would you guys say was the best and most excited you have been about a test/assessment result?
I would say my CAFS IRP epitomised that moment for me. After a research proposal, a monitoring research journal, a 60 page report and countless hours spent I came out of it with a 100% grade. I really doubted my ability in it so much and hadn't heard of anyone that had got 100% before me. Turns out me and one of my best friends both got 100% and the CAFS class genuinely congratulated me with it and were really happy.
Another moment was not a school moment per-se. In the holidays I participated in a University program with 30 selected students from around my area at UOW. Our final group presentation (me and the aforementioned friend) was to be 20-25 minutes long and presented in a lecture theatre in front of about 80-100 people. Just before the beginning of the presentation (we'd worked on it for 2 weeks) my heart stopped. I realised my thumbdrive with the presentation on it was missing. I almost broke down and cried in the theatre. I searched for half an hour in my bag and around it. Nothing. I then thought where I'd been during the day. I realised I'd left it in that very theatre by the desktop and sure enough it was there when I began to do the presentation. That moment in itself was just amazing, just getting to present and not facing complete humiliation for both me and my friend. There were students with public speaking experience, which I didn't have much of.
We did the best presentation/speech I'd ever given in my life. My family, peers and teachers were so proud and I almost couldn't hold myself together. The vice-chancellor and other high-ranked people said I did a great job as well. Every single student came up and said the presentation was amazing, what a feeling! I was interviewed for the local news and was the only boy to be asked to do so, I was so overwhelmed. We ended up both getting a HD for the course !
