Have you ever been passed over for an award, honor, job, opportunity and it was given to someone you felt didn't deserve it? How did you feel? What did you do? If not, how do you think it would feel?​​

I can’t remember a time when I was passed for an award. If it did happen I’d probably be upset but I’d eventually get over it. I would probably just wait for myself to calm down.

I would feel disappointed because I worked really hard for it and didn’t get the recognition I deserve. I was happy for the other person but still disappointed.

One time I didn’t receive star player in a battle of Brawl Stars. I was very sad because I thought I deserved it but Griffin Mylan got it instead. To make up for it I tried many more times until I did get star player.
