Teacher of the Year- runner up?

Okay, so you saw the great letter that I got from my principal, I finally got why. She pulled me into her office to let me know that only one person had nominated one of our teachers for Teacher of the Year. Can you guess who was the person to nominated the choosen teacher of the year was? Yes, me and had I not, our principal would have choosen and she told me it was me! AHHHH. I nominated a person into my spot. Can you believe this? It was a sign. God knew it would go to my head. I keep telling myself that the runner-up (me) got $5000 from donorschoose donations this year. I should be satisfied with that.
