School Days ID Parade
I’ve noticed that the chorus of bird song audible from the garden has been growing louder as Spring announces her arrival. This year is passing at such breakneck speed, it’s a little unnerving!
We anticipate our future and contemplate our past, but too often we neglect spending enough time enjoying the present.
As life progresses, time passes more and more quickly, and before we’re aware, it’s arrived, and been and gone. There are no dress rehearsals, so it’s important to identify what we want from life, and how we aim to accomplish it.
When I was at school I didn’t appreciate the luxury of education or the opportunity that it afforded. I was always too eager to grow up, to be a teenager and do what teenagers did — have fun, enjoying a carefree life of excitement, adventure and romance.
Here’s a squint at a sample of the squares I was so keen to escape…
A first prize of 5,000 Entrecard Credits [ECs] or $25 Amazon Gift Token is offered to the person to correctly identify which one of these grotesques is our very own Reward Rebel, aged 11 years.
This is how I look these days — easy-peasy, or what?
One outright winner will be drawn from the correct entries and awarded 5,000 ECs or $25 Amazon Gift Token. A further 1,000 ECs will be divided between the remaining correct entries. So, everyone answering correctly wins ECs — whether it’s 100 or 1,000 depends on how many people have a keen eye!
Of course, if the winner has a website, it automatically receives a generous serving of publicity from Reward Rebel, washed down with a glass of effervescent link love.
To enter, simply refer to the indexed outline of the photo below, ascertain the ID number of the girl you think is me, and enter your answer in a comment on this post. Comments will remain in moderation until the contest has closed, and the winners declared.
- All entries must be received by midnight EST on Monday, 31 March.
- Winners will be announced on Tuesday, 1st April.
- Entry is restricted to one per person, email address, blog or IP address.
Good luck!

Hi Reward Rebel,
This is largely a guessing game and I’m in a dilemma whether to pick the one I think is you or to pick one that would be flattering you.
I guess I’ll do both, it’s possible too I believe.
So my guess is you are at the front row, student number 4.
–Durano, done!

I’m going to go for number 18.

Good contest and great code graphic!

Thanks for letting me know about your newly launched contest. I don’t think i have the keen eyes, here’s my wild guess. #4.
[Reply]
Sorry about not guessing last night. My wife was dropping for me because I was working on our new house.
My guess: #28
Dunno why, but it was between that and #6, and 28 won the coin toss.
Happy Easter.

fun contest - thank you for sending me the message about it so I can stop back - I dropped early this morning in a hurry before Easter breakfast using firefox - no photos or images so didn’t see it.

Stine’s last blog post..Happy Easter!
[Reply]
Well, I would have said 4, but your “hint” said it’s not the girl who looked most like you do now… so then I thought maybe 1…but I guess I’ve settled on 18. You’ve presented us with 2 two very different angles, in an obvious attempt (in my opinion) at fooling us one way or the other.
Thanks for the contest, it was fun! Final - 18.

This is so fun! I can’t wait till March 31! You are so brilliant to have thought of this contest!
Just got back from my doc’s appointment. I am getting hopeful, Layne, despite the fact that I won’t be able to take the board. I am really just praying to recover and get back to my feet. Health is really wealth. I still hope to be around till my son’s hair turns grey. lol!
Thanks for being there. You make blogging so much fun! Kindest regards from the tropical heat of Manila!

I will give a shot at no.7, that will be good if it’s a 360 change from the young days.
[Reply]
I am guessing you are #4. I have almost nothing to base that on and I am horrible about “seeing” people in photos. I am not the one to call for a photo line up! lol
[Reply]
Ok, I had to call my wife to help me, hope you don’t mind
She says #4. Where do I pickup my entrecredits?

No intention to pick on you Etienne (well, I confess, just a little bit
) but a 360 degrees change is the same as no change at all 
[Reply]
I just had to include an interim message to convey my thanks for all the entries and wonderful comments. I’ve been bowled over by the response to this daft lil contest, and totally delighted, too.
Thank you all for your support and friendship

You deserve it all, Layne and so much more! The blogging world must be all too gloomy without you in it.

From my second blog, I’m gonna guess #18. Boy, this is hard! I wonder if I guessed right
[Reply]
Layne, this is really tough, I should admit. Having done the process of elimination and looking into the curve of each faces, I’d have to say #23 fits best your current smile from the your current photo on this entry.
I was actually looking into the best cheekbones from amongst the crowd and I would have to say, #23 has the most prominent one. You’re one lovely lady. Your making us look closely to your photo makes us appreciate your beauty more.
