I made the Honor Roll every six weeks in seventh grade. My name along with other honor roll kids ( six weeks average of 90 or above.) was printed in our newspaper. The Merit List was 80 or above. My brother who was in 10 th grade at the time made the merit list one time.

Mom gave him 10 dollars for making the merit list.
