So I was the top student at my elementary school. Would it be wise to mention this, even though this was over a decade ago?

I was the valedictorian at my kindergarten. I definitely mentioned it in my award section and personal statement.

Haha... I really hope that this is a joke.

you're so cool


But to the OP - No it wouldn't be wise to mention that because it really has nothing to do with where you are right now/what you're capable of.

I'm sorry but, the OP asked for the sarcastic responses. You guys are awful

I think you should mention it because it demonstrates long term, outstanding performance. If I were you, I would bring it up in my interviews too.
