So the other day in one of my Algebra classes, we got off topic as we are sometimes prone to do. For some reason or another I got into a discussion about how I can't stand the fact that every kid these days seems to get a trophy for no reason. Sign up for soccer? Get a trophy! You didn't even play? Who cares? Participant Ribbons for everyone!
Anyway, to teach them that only the winners should get the trophy, I told them that whoever got the highest score with the most impressive work shown on their Algebra test, which happened to be over the Exponential Function, would get a trophy.
So I had to make a trophy. Some styrofoam, some paper mache, and some spray paint, and POOF, we got ourselves a trophy for the Exponential Function. During the trophy presentation (which is going to go to the lucky young man who scored a 105), I'm going to call it an "Expy."

I LOVE IT!!!!!!! That is too much fun. Mark, I'm totally impressed with your artistic abilities. I may sound like a total geek, but I would have strived to have won that trophy when I was in school.
