We all know that you worked really hard to be awarded that medal or trophy, and what took your blood, sweat and tears doesn't deserve to get stored in a shoe box and pushed under your bed, put into a dark drawer or hang cluttered on closet door knobs.
It is an eternal milestone and reminder of YOUR EXCELLENCE. If you have children, displaying their awards is a great way to value their hard work and show them their effort pays off and is valued and appreciated.
