What is everyone's proudest accomplishment in life? Could have more than one if you've done a lot you are proud of! Curious to hear everyone's story!

Making it this far.
There was a lot of doubt about that at one point.

Individual accomplishment? I've won a couple of 80-person Texas Hold'em tournaments and have bowled 7 sanctioned 300 games
On a greater level, the wife and I raised 3 kids and they all graduated without getting arrested or knocked up. All 3 are now decent human beings as adults. Huzzah!

I once used a 2 Can Dine coupon at McDonald's and ate all of the food myself. So there's that.

I paid my own way through college and got a job in my field while still in school, amongst a couple other interviews and offers. Also bought my own car in cash off of working a retail job for a little under 2 years.
I'd say those are my 2 biggest-- the college thing meant a lot to me because I was never a school person. My own mother doubted I'd be able to handle college and assumed when I was 16 that I had not planned on going. Not that it was about proving anybody wrong but I proved to myself I could handle it and I made it happen.

Working my way to my final year of university, living by myself for the last 3 years, having a YouTube channel that gets upwards of 1000 views per video, all the weight I've lost in the last few years and just in general surviving this long. I've had quite a number of moments of doubt in the past few years with my struggles with mental health but I'm slowly becoming better with every day.

Honestly, I haven't scrapped the surface of what I have and will accomplish in life; I am only 19. But, I think I have a lot silent victories.
I struggled with being brutally bullied, I don't bash my mom but she never was good at understanding me being bullied or how I felt and it's damaged our relationship to this day, My weight issues that have been there my whole life, I am not where I want to be but I am in very good solid shape and continue to improve, Living through being put down my whole life, overcoming my grief over my bothers drug addiction and death, Graduating High School; I never was a dumb kid. But I have issues with how I process numbers really hurt me in math. And losing my brother to drug addiction, my family not giving me proper ways to grief, myself not feeling engaged in school as I have taken Accelerated college course World History, English, Sociology , Government, etc. It never felt my strengths mattered. I had scholarship going for me or in the works. But, since I did so poorly in Math and Chemistry class my GPA crashed. My family also fell apart and my uncle who I felt very close too, I had very bad falling out with that hurt. I felt abandoned, my best friend became addicted to Heroine, I became very angry. And as one of my teachers said I had zero f***s left to give.Blah Blah, so graduation was huge for me. And getting supervisory jobs this young. Being able to grow and understand who I am what and what's around me, Learning where my failures are and rebounding them

Helped reunite many lost animals with their owners, and help get a 9 sweet chihuahuas into a no-kill shelter by finding fosters, many moons ago when I volunteered at my local one almost 4 days a week for a year. Best thing I have ever done.
Hopefully, fingers crossed, a bit more magic left in this man. Here's to hoping.

Making a pretty decent living with wrestling and acting. Sure, all that is on hold right now with that silly virus crap. But I saved my money and everything is paid off. Time to work on writing and getting stuff ready for film.

Graduating College would be the top accomplishment.
I managed to survive 9 years working at Walmart. I was the second longest person working in my dept when I left in 2017.

I can't even shop in Wal-Mart for more than ten minutes without hating it. I have no idea how you did that! My hat is off to you! |

I put up with a ton of bull crap over the years there. I've seen lots of crap during my 9 years there. |

Professionally, photographing a Wrestlemania. That was a life goal, and I did it by the time I was 30. I've shot 4 in a row now, and in a few weeks it would have been 5, but you know what happened.
Personally, raising my daughter through the first 6 months of her life. I'm rocking her to sleep right now and everyday I wonder how she's made it this long without me messing her up in a major way!

That's awesome! As a job? Or just attending and getting good pics? |
