Since when does a sheet of paper determine whether it's a 'skill'? Maybe when it's written with the right ink...
It's one thing to be certified or acknowledged that you've accomplished something by someone else. However, that means nothing if you can't put your own signature on it.
(They say) If you write on an award, it ruins its value, because it's no longer authentic.
(I say) You cannot be authentic without putting your own stamp on things... whether it's given by an institutional authority or you're brushing ink that curves and eventually dries on your own canvas.
Your award is the ink derived from your own scholarship. Make your experiences come alive rather than be told what's worthy of celebrating.
Celebrate your penmanship... because the ink of a survived thought is worth a thousand times more than a neglected one.
