If you are a parent of a school going child then you may like to read this.
He/ She need not always be
The flag bearer on sports day

Be in the play in the first place and have a speaking role
Selected to represent the school in competitions
The class monitor
The House Captain
A school prefect
The Head Boy or Head Girl
Come first in class
Score above 95% in school / board examinations
Have his/ her name up on the honours board
Recognised / honoured at the school assembly .
The one selected to welcome the Chief Guest
The one chosen to present the gift/ bouquet to the guest of honour
The teacher's pet
The one whose photo appears in the school magazine
The main character in the school promotional video
The Rex/ Victor ludorum ( Bishopites would remember this)
There are pupils who are late bloomers.
Considered shy or timid in school.
Never selected for any prominent role
Who teachers feel lack leadership qualities.
Who wait in vain to be recognised and given that one opportunity to prove themselves.
Often they do quite well in life - they rise to the top of their profession, while leading with distinction.
The cream always rises to the top.
It's all about self confidence and biding one's time .
Patience and perseverance pays dividends.
