I've never understood how their twisted brains can like their fake awards at all. I feel the same way as Johnnie. I don't want some participation award. Even back when I finished high school, I would say I didn't care about graduation and it didn't feel like much. A lot of people didn't understand this, you know high school graduation is a big deal and all. The thing is for me, it was compulsory, it was expected--finishing high school was nothing more than meeting the baseline.

It's the same in the work world too, at least if you're in a corporate job. They will do these little awards things, and it's always given out to one person who was the one vocal person of a project, sucking on the teet of management to get recognition. Since I'm sort of competitive mindset, I tend to just set my own goals to be the best at whatever work. Maybe it goes back to when I ran my own business. Recognition of the feat isn't even required, because the fact that I know I "won" is the important part.
