a freak present

had a lot of presents in my high school graduation that was a very special moment for me and my family. But one of these presents was very freak, and still today I try to sell it.

To contextualize, I studied industrial mechanics at a technical high school, and on the last year I had to go two days at the week to school, and three days to an enterprise for the practice. On the graduation ceremony, the high school gave presents for the students with the best marks, and too for the students well regarded  at the practice’s enterprises. 

I knew that I wasn’t the best student on my class because I ever was the "second best student" on the four years of high school. I didn’t have any hopes to take a present, but I was very surprised when the presenter says my name: “And the prize for the best student on the practice of this class is… Iván Cea”.

Whaaaat?? I didn’t understand this. I really hated the career, the enterprise, and this high school, but all considered me the best student. I stood up to take the present, and I received a little box. I was very curious to know what was, and when I opened this I saw… what?? A SCIENTIST CALCULATOR!!

Well… my classmate that wins the “best student's  prize, obtained a hand drill.

Today I'm studying journalism at university and I never used the calculator, I tried to sell  it in every e-commerce website like “mercadolibre.cl”, but I don’t have any results. 

I think that this "present" is a reminder that I shouldn’t do or study something that I really don’t like.
