When I passed the motorcycle test. I was training so long and so hard that I was really proud when I
finally pass the test and could start to drive. Even the guy who teach me to drive said that, he knew I wanted
the license cause I just continue even if I failure most of the time. But now the license is mind and I am proud that I don't give up.
I'm not particularly proud of anything. I've gotten an Associate's Degree, but it wasn't the Bachelor's degree I expected to have. I've mostly managed not being an alcoholic the last few years which is good. I've also managed to live a pretty crime free life and try my best not to be much of a bother. I've also been unemployed for 8 months or so now which is making me really itchy.
I suppose the biggest accomplishment is my marriage; we've been married 3 whole months! I love my husband dearly, and he and I are a good match. Even though I'm absolutely insane.
Yeah, he's totally normal. <snort>Quote:

You have figured out that you can strongly disagree with someone on core issues and still cherish that person dearly, you have recognized that you were headed down a path that was not a good match and changed direction, and you have become much more responsible in practical matters. Basically, in a very short span of time, you grew up. It was pretty awesome to watch.
I have worked with children with Autism since I got out of college (about ten years ago). After a few years, a coworker of mine (who actually has a daughter with Autism) wanted to start a social skills group for kids with Autism, and asked me to run the group. That was about 6 years ago, and now (this is in addition to my full-time job, of which I am also proud) I run 4 groups a week and have seen so much progress. I take every opportunity I get to thank my friend for giving me the chance to begin such a positive experience in my life, and I am so proud of how far we've come and how many lives that we've touched!
Aww, shucks. :blush:
Jason is a weirdo, but he's pretty even keeled. :P
