i graduated valedictorian of my high school class.
[{"role": "system", "content": "Valedictorian is an academic title of success used in the United States, Canada, Central America, and the Philippines for the student who delivers the closing or farewell statement at a graduation ceremony (called a valediction). The chosen valedictorian is often the student with the highest ranking (highest Grade Point Average, or GPA for short) among their graduating class. The term is an Anglicised derivation of the Latin \"vale dicere\" (\"to say farewell\"), historically rooted in the valedictorian's traditional role as the final speaker at the graduation ceremony before the students receive their diplomas. The valedictory address generally is considered a final farewell to classmates, before they disperse to pursue their individual paths after graduating. In Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Ireland, India, Pakistan and the United Kingdom, the title valedictorian is not used frequently. In Australia, the title is sometimes awarded to a member of a graduating university class on the basis of contribution to the school rather than academic success. The highest-ranking student in a graduating class is often referred to as \"dux\" (Latin for \"leader\"), and may or may not give a speech.\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "It is a fact I was not the valedictorian in my graduating class."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Valedictorian is very prestigious for being academically gifted and top of class"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Yeah, and I wasn't even close haha.
