It paid off! Twice!

I feel great! I was just at my neighbourhood's community centre in a prize-giving ceremony and it wasn't any type of ordinary ceremony, it was held to give away Edusave scholarships and merit bursaries. I was about to go on stage to claim my scholarship certificate and cheque. I was able to meet some of my friends at the ceremony and share our joy together. However, a few months before then....
"Yeah! Report books are out!", everyone was so nervous as their results were finally released. Finally, when I received it, I opened it and saw the grades. Wow, it was fantastic! My hard work throughout the year had paid off and I got good results! I was jumping for joy. "I better bring this back home and share this moment with my family!", I thought and I rushed home....
A few months later, I got a letter with my name printed on it, which is not common for me, and I opened it. To my surprise, it was a notification letter, telling me that I had qualified for the Edusave scholarship. It was unbelievable! My parents were so proud of me and I felt happy too. Soon, in a blink of an eye, I was waiting for the time to receive it in the community centre. Some time after entering the hall and having some refreshments, the prize-giving ceremony began with pupils who received the PCF Alumni Book Prize.
Soon after, it was time to give out the Edusave scholarships. Excited but nervous at the same time, I await my turn to walk on stage to get my prize. Finally, I stepped onto the stage and smiled at the guest-of-honour, who was giving the prize, and held onto the scholarship to allow the photographer to take a picture before I stepped down from the stage. After chatting for a while with my friends, I went to have lunch and returned home with my mother. My mother was indeed proud of my achievement and I realised my efforts paid off, again!
However, the main thought and emotion that I had was that I could share this very special moment with my family members, and that I could make them all feel proud and overjoyed for me and the achievement that I've made.....
