...just looking for some stories to make me smile.

What do you consider your greatest accomplishment so far in your life? And how old are you?

    My greatest accomplishment thus far has been completing my BS degree while working full time as a single mom in a new state where I know no one.

    I'm 22. Maybe not the greatest accomplishment in my life, but the hardest one was deciding I deserved to be happy and removing my abusive ex from my life completely.

    Actual greatest? Probably anything academic that I've done, but I don't count that because it took minimal effort.

    Well, I'm only 20 so hopefully I'll have some better ones down the line but deciding to go into recovery for an eating disorder and seek help for other mental health issues was by far the hardest thing I've had to do. Not quite recovered yet, but getting there :)

    Other than that, I'm still pretty stoked I actually got accepted into Uni and I feel pretty damn accomplished every time I get more than 90% on an assessment piece I felt sure I was going to fail haha

    It's really sad but I feel like my own personal greatest accomplishment is my weight loss and physique transformation. Otherwise, I have nothing. I'm amazing with technology, computers but other than that I really need to have that *thing* .. learn a musical instrument, learn a second language, get a degree or start a business.. earn SOMETHING.

    I'm in my mid 30's .. :ohwell:

    Note: I should add that I did raise 2 well mannered, morally sound great children (so far) that are 10 & 7 but that's not me personally, I'm just one of two that did that.

    How are kids an accomplishment? How is procreation an accomplishment? You will say, well my kids are so good and pious and smart and great.....but every parent thinks that about their kid.
