I made a video project for Spanish class in high school that was so good, the teacher used it as an example to show students the kind of quality they should be shooting for, and continued to do so for years afterward.* True story.**
*: It was a rare and wonderful team we had. The one guy was a brilliant and funny actor, I was a writing guru†, and the other guy was talented at video editing.
**: My cousin can back this up. She had that Spanish class two years later and saw our video then.
†: Shut up, it's like my one really fond memory of high school. Let me have this one.

That's a pretty good achievement (IMO). I've had one teacher hold my essay as an example of how something should be done, but that was because we were her first class where she was trying something new and she didn't really have a precedent set, so... Yeah, it wasn't so great as an achievement as I would like it to be.
My AP European History teacher asked me for fresh copies of all the papers I wrote in his class to use as examples. He was still using them when my sister went to school there. Also a true story.
Essays tend to be harder to do something impressive with.
Edit: This is why there's no YouWrite.com site with essays that get millions of hits.
Don't I know it. Writing is something I enjoy doing and will pretty much just go with something once it hits my brain. Whether it was actually trying a blog or just putting it out for my friends to read, they go largely ignored.
I'm a pretty good writer too... though none of you would believe me. /wrists/

Yeah, well, you're asian! You guys get like A++s and that shit ain't even possiburu!
Well my friends, it's always a pleasure to read you and write back, but wanking calls and then sleep for work, take care and be well, live long and prosper and all that shit.
Good night, and holy shit I thought we were in the GSC the whole time...
I'm not even drunk!
EDIT: Oh and cappy, you're a good writer. I enjoyed your latest piece on the merits (and faults) of each of the major political systems. I also happen to agree with much of what you said. I just don't let you know this because I don't want you getting a big head.

I had the same situation, except because the teacher thought it was hilarious. It was an advertisement for Hired Goons, and showcased us chasing people, collecting money and breaking knees.
