The principal began with an animated and excited speech, rambling on and on, until he was shaking with adrenaline. He was so moved that he had himself on the brink of tears.
"Today, I have good news to share with you. One of our students has won the gold medal in the National Middle School Composition Contest. This is the first national award our school has received since its establishment. It carries significant importance to our school, the city's leaders, the provincial leaders, and the Ministry of Education. It is indeed the biggest accomplishment in our school this year.
"Thus, the school has decided to grant this student a scholarship of 500 yuan. The City Education Bureau and the Provincial Education Bureau have also contributed 1500 yuan, all of which will go towards the prize money."
"Everyone, let's give a round of applause."
