..what about your life are you most proud about?

I'm 48.

Pride don't come natural to me but I guess for all the offers I have had I never did sell my soul. It's a good feeling ':mrgreen:'

<-- 57 years old.

Most proud of? I've much to be proud of, not the least of which is being an American. How to decide?

• Putting myself through university and earning an MSEE degree.
  
• Joining the U.S. Navy at the age of 32 and earning one promotion in each of six years to 1st-Class Petty Officer.
  
• Earning an Honorable Discharge from the U.S. Navy.
  
• Marrying a beautiful woman who is now earning her own Master's Degree.
  
• Raising three sons to adulthood without any of them being homeless or ending up dead or in prison.
  
• Supporting children in third-world countries who value their own educations.
  
• Serving voluntarily in a local homeless shelter.

All of this without ever knowing that I have an ASD, and that because of this, I was "supposed" to be unable so succeed at anything.

I guess I've shown them ...

I'm 40 and I'm proud of dragging myself out of the s**t and becoming a responsible person capable of holding on to a job, bringing up my daughter and keeping a nice home all on my own.

I was told that I would be dead by the time I was 21, so I reckon I've shown them too.

I'm 15
I've been able to get A's and A*'s in all my subjects at school (with the exception of art with a B)

I am 26 years old and so far, I am proud of being a straight-A student in high school, maintaining a relationship with my boyfriend, and having a job.

Getting into and graduating from a better university than ever thought I'd get into, despite nearly flunking out of high school. I also worked for 2/3 of it which gave my parents enough leftover money for a new room over their garage and my for my dad to buy a new pickup (they grew up poor so I think they appreciated that).

I was lucky that they could & did help, though, and that I happened to live near a junior college that was of sufficient quality to let me transfer to the U. of California system.

About to be 27, had my first relationship this year, graduated college last year, and am possibly about move out to L.A.
