look!! I don't have the strength to argue with you. Which should be rewarded more, a child that works hard or a lazy one??

Don't mention me again!!

It wasn’t the governor that rewarded big brother contestants and winner .. the governor tried and should be emulated and commended for his generosity . Others should follow suit !!!

Typically, top students in the US get multiple scholarship awards. So, it will not be in form of "best graduating" student which I believe is really not sustainable. Brilliant students like him need more supports, not a one-off "fire brigade" approach.

Those awards are not by the state government. Your point is however well taken
