What is one fantastic thing you've accomplished?

[sonrisa]

It doesn't have to be big or important, just something that you are proud of, that you have done. 

[alzi]

I got my doctorate. That is big, important, and I'm proud.

[margotmacomber]

Got a BA, joined the Army, and produced a child.

I'm pretty proud of my tampon ditties in that thread earlier.

Which thread?  I missed them.

I was the first person in my family (including my brother) and in H's family to graduate from college. Granted I'm too dumb to get a Master's but I do have a bachelors.

[sneetch]

I moved to a country on my own where I didn't know anyone well. I made friends, got a job, had an apartment and made myself a life there for five years.

Pontoons!

I think they start on page 4 or 5.

I'm pretty proud of the times that I've lived overseas. In both cases it took some courage to take the leap and although neither time worked out quite the way I expected, I am so glad I did.

[Marle]

Moving to another country to go to graduate school and being a successful professional with a happy marriage and the smartest kid in the world.

Why do I complain so much?!

[rupertpenny]

I'm finishing a 2 year masters degree in one year. I did my first masters, also a 2 year program, in a year and a half.

Too bad I'm way better at school than I am at real life.

[sewf]

I found a job I really enjoy going to every day.

I have made real, life long friends who I trust and adore.

I married the best man I have ever met, who is honorable and funny and is turning out to be a great father.

[malibu]

Well, I guess having a baby is something I'm proud of. I didn't think i'd ever have kids due to being terrified of labor.

[8675309]

I had 3 weddings that I planned and designed published in a couple different magazines. That was pretty freakin cool.

[bananapancakes]

Moved to a country where I knew no one and didn't speak the language in order to accept an awesome job (did this twice). Traveled a great deal through Europe/Australia/parts of SE Asia on my own. Maintained a healthy, happy, long distance relationship with my BF/FI/now H while doing all this.

[BieberMyBalls]

My accomplishments are few and far between, and this may be eye roll worthy, but I'm most proud of how I'm raising my children. I'm proud of myself for not following suit of so many teen mothers, and recognizing that it was time to grow up, and fast. I didn't make the best choices, and seeing people making those same choices makes me sad and sort of angry, because its hard as hell being a mom to someone when you're still maturing yourself. If there is one thing I'll always be proud of myself for, its that I didn't fail them. There's still room, but I'm going to make damn sure it stays that way.

I'm hoping that I can add a few more accomplishments to my list soon.

I'm really proud of myself for having the guts to start a solo practice and then successfully growing business.  I went out on my own with one tiny client, but I worked hard at bringing in business, and the work poured in really fast.  

[curtains]

Moved up from an admin to an engineer and operations analyst with no degree.. tripled my salary and support my dd and our (very good) life with no help from anyone.

[Deleted]

I moved to a middle eastern country the day after graduating college. I was 21, and even though I've lived over in the region most of my childhood, this was still a new country with no friends or family.

Lol, it was kind of brazenly stupid, now looking back. I had no idea what I was doing.

[underwaterrhymes]

I'm also really proud - having seen what happened to my parents' marriage - that although I was attracted to assholes and slept with them frequently enough for it to not be a fluke, I had no interest in dating them seriously.

I knew I wanted to marry someone who rocked my world in every way and I was willing to wait to find him.

It took me nearly 31 years to meet my H and 3 more years to marry him, but it's the best thing I've ever done in my life. He's really amazing and although a huge part of finding him was luck, I'm also really pleased with myself for not getting tired of being single and settling for anyone else.

He was worth the wait.

[flex]

The main thing I'm proud of, which has allowed me to live a life that I'm proud of, is I'll celebrate 25 years clean and sober on July 3rd. Quarter of a century, y'all!

[pantsparty]

Mmm...I don't know. I guess I'm proud I moved out when I was 19 and have been financially independent since then.

I've been successful in my career with only a high school degree.

I married an amazing man that is everything I could want in a mate. I consider that dumb luck, though.

[karmasabiotch]

I helped victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and child abuse for 10 years being on call day and night.

[ElizabethBennet]

The only thing I can think of is moving out at 19 3k miles away from my family to live in a different area. It didn't go very well but I did it lol.

I wish I had more to add and I think I must be going through a quarter life crisis or something because I always get down on myself when these types of things come up. I know I'll get there but I'm bummed I'm not there NOW.

[Deleted]

I think the thing I'm most proud of is everything I accomplished from 17-20. My mom threw me out when I was 17, so I had to make sure that I graduated high school on my own while working 3-11 at the gas station. I know this might not be a big deal, but when I think about the direction that my brothers went and the direction I went, there's a big difference. They both never graduated high school, had pregnant girlfriends by the time they dropped out, and still constantly make bad decisions. I made something of myself, found a good husband, have an amazing child with one on the way, have an all around pretty spectacular life. Sometimes I still can't believe that THIS is my life.

[nannersp]

Putting myself through college with no help from my parents and very few college loans.

[gault]

Moved on and healed from an abusive marriage
Lost over 120 pounds

[bleubook]

I got all of my filing done.

[Dusky]

I graduated from college. Neither of my parents did so it was a huge accomplishment for me.
