The Luck Of The Irish...What have you won ?

[sandrauk]

Back in 1959, in the Lifeboys, I won a copy of the New Testament. We could either write on, why I would rather be a boy than a girl or, why I would rather be a girl than a boy. I knew the risk, but I let it all out and it was rather a long essay for an eight year old. It's still my proudest possession.

-1st place in trebuchet-building competition at Hillsborough County Science Brain Bowl (12th grade)

Wait what year was this? Because my senior year (2012) I captained the chemistry team to 3rd place and our trebuchet team wom 2nd in that exact same competition.

Gee I'm old.

Gee I'm old.

But you just won a Belly Rubz! (rubz, rubz, rubz, rubz) See, your luck is changing. *giggles*

I was born into this stupid existence a little over 50 years ago    Not going to state whether that was good or bad luck

2004. (so nope, no connection.) Fun times, though. I got to be a complete and total nerd and made a floating-arm trebuchet, which probably no one else even knew existed at the time. (Thanks, "Junkyard Wars!" )

I would say it was a good thing!    So would the other how many thousand of us now who depend on you?

When building models before the contest, I suggested to build a pyramidal trebuchet for inclreased stability, and whaddayaknow, they did it and it worked!

Pretty weird though that we both went to high school in the same county.
But heck, my high school had just opened when you graduated, so you'd probably never heard of it

I won an award for excellence in teaching.

I was at Tampa Bay Tech. (Taking a fair guess that you've probably heard of that one. ) Also went to Middleton for the first two years that it was open.

But yeah... definitely cool!

Yep, was at a few football games there. I was in the band. One of our assistant directors said we were never going back there because the hot dogs were awful
I was at Newsome, pretty much one of the only things out in that farm country besides a housing development that half the houses were unoccupied and they were still building.

Oh, just reminds me, I won best John Proctor in our Crucible skits in AP Lang junior year.
My sister has the same teacher this year. She was awesome. And totally supports my transition too

Hhhhm lets see

I ve won a mobile phone , a t shirt , a video game  and a meal at a restaurant...

little joys that would make me feel better

[Jill F]

Let's see...

I've won... *announcer's voice* Absolutely nothing! 

I don't count slot machine jackpots because I'm a net loser.

I do, however, consider myself as having won the trans* lottery though.

Kia Ora,

There seems to be a lot of lucky people here....

I know at times some might not feel this way/ agree, but in a sense we have all won life's lottery -the first prize being born 'human' and for the most part having the luxury of freedom ...Things could have been a whole lot worse......

+1

And I'd add to that, by addressing our gender and identity questioning proactively, we've all won an important internal conflict against self-denial.
