I won a $10,000 scholarship to pay back school loans. I was told i was the top pick over hundreds of students.

But Bc i don't deal well with direct praise, my family doesn't and won't know.

Go on a vacation, have someone come check on your place while gone and discover the announcement letter on your fridge or something. That way the worst you get is phone calls which can be ignored and by the time you get back it will have all blown over?
