Youth Salute

As most of you have probably seen, I'm on the bulletin board in the atrium with everybody who got selected for Youth Salute (this youth leadership program).
Today was a seminar/awards ceremony at Eastern.
The seminar was cool. We had a motivational speaker who has spoken to corporation leaders and Olympic athletes do cool stuff with us. I got to meet a few people too.
Then the awards ceremony.....it sucked.
There were 15 people that got $4000 scholarships to EKU, Georgetown, and Midway. Then 44 people got Awards Stars for being the top youth leader from the 44 schools in the program (some of which had received a $4000 scholarship already).
Then there were other $100, $500 scholarships given out (most of which went to people who were already up on stage for getting awards).
So only a handful of people actually got awards while most of everybody who showed only got a certificate....that the people passed out without any names on them.
I'm kinda pissed. I thought I would at least get a $100 scholarship.
I didn't sign up for any of the $4000 because I didn't want to go to those colleges (and Midway was females only).
There's also this national conference in St. Louis in October that 6 people got selected for. I figured it was the same weekend as SAYF, so I didn't go for it. I'm pretty sure the 6 people that got selected were already on stage.
I'm not the happiest that I usually am because I felt cheated and I felt like it couldn't been run better and that everybody could've gotten an award or at least their name announced.

So it was all dumb.
