One day, it was announced that each school in the state of Bastille should nominate an Ambassador for Character Competition.
Atkins was chosen to represent Bloomingdale School because no one could match his good character and intelligence.
"And the winner is, Atkins Patterson," the governor announced.
Atkins was overjoyed to have won the character competition.
Dedicating his award to his parents, Atkins said, " I dedicate this award to my parents, Mr. and Mrs. Patterson, for the amazing work they did in raising me."
Atkins also won as the overall best Ambassador at the national level. His good character, intelligence, his positive attitude and kindness warmed the hearts of the judges.
"Atkins is such an amazing individual who has shown an impeccable character throughout this competition... " The president announced.
Mr. and Mrs. Atkins were given a standing ovation and an award for raising such an amazing individual as Atkins.
Cherry was green with envy.
When the family got home, Cherry told her parents, "Mum, Dad, I am very sorry for how I have behaved in the past. Today, I learnt that good character pays."
"It is so good that you have realised all we did for you and your brother," Mrs. Patterson said.
"Cherry, good character is key to success," her dad said.
"Thank you Dad, thank you Mum, I really appreciate you both," Cherry told her parents.
"And thank you Atkins, for making our family proud,'" Cherry told her brother as she hugged him.
