Your most proudest accomplishment

Post Reply New Topic

I ran two full marathons when I was in high school.

Just getting through the day is an accomplishment lately.

Well on my way to earning my black belt.

I've earned a black belt in Tae Kwon Do
I got a Bachelor's in engineering and was the college valedictorian
I have successfully been living independently for about two months

wow you are right up there with the top functioning types.

This time tomorrow, my proudest accomplishment will be the end of this week and start of new week on Friday, long live Friday, Caturday, Bunday, oh please let it be now tomorrow soon!

Not an achievement as such but something I am proud of is fulfilling a dream of backpacking or 'travelling'.

I am obsessed with countries, cultures, maps etc and have spent my life dreaming of travelling through other countries seeing all this fascinating stuff. never thought I would actually do it as I would struggle to cope at times but in my mid 20's I had enough of dreaming and started to get frustrated that I may spend my life as a dreamer, look a loan out, got on a plane and spent 3 months on my own backpacking around south east Asia.

met some cool people, saw some incredible stuff and in those 3 months I probably learned more about myself that at any other time in my life.

Maybe this^ will change soon as my proudest though as I recently signed up to work part time for the Samaritans. Something I have wanted to do for years but never quite had the courage, got my first days training in 2 weeks time!

Well, I don't know if this compares to anyone here. There's not much extraordinary about me, aside from my "savant skill", which I did not pursue using because I got scared of the whole arts industry. But anyway, here's my biggest accomplishment. This is why I isolate myself and force myself not to do anything but; a lot of VERY hard work went into this.

Warning, major showoff ahead...

This is after 3 years of university, with basically shutting myself in and studying, often for days in a row and only taking food breaks. I'll be going into my 4th year taking 5 courses for the first time in my college career and am not sure how well I'll be able to keep those grades while living with my partner (which means doing some chores) and while trying to get possible lab experiences in order to have academic references for grad school. I am looking for some advice/tips/strategies as to how other students can take a full courseload while holding down a job/living independently. I'm fast-tracking because I would like to get a job that I would be able to support myself with ASAP; I don't want to burden anyone financially after having done the standard 4 years of university (I'll only have my thesis to do next year, anyway, and then I'll be done). I also really, really want to keep a straight-A record, considering that the grad school program I'll be applying to is super-competitive and only takes in 5-7 students each year. I have no clue how other students can take 5 courses and work at the same time (and get amazing grades). If anyone has any strategies, please do PM me, as I have no one to ask about decent advice regarding this matter (my disability counsellors keep telling me to stop comparing myself to others, but that's not helpful because I want to get over whatever limitations are stopping me from being able to do this).

wow I was lucky to just get out of high school.
