What little thing are you proud of?

Don't tell us a major accomplishment. We don't want to hear about your Nobel Peace Prize or your Congressional Medal of Honor.

Tell us some little thing you take personal pride in, but are maybe a little too embarrassed to announce to the world.

As for me, I made my fish avatar. My idea. My ink. My Photoshop work. I think its pretty cool, considering I have no real art training or anything.

I am proud of the fact that I shot a wedding this weekend with 300 plus guests and no assistant to help me. I didn't loose my cool one time.

I walked home from the train station today....in the rain....so that my wife could let my son (1.5 yrs old) nap. About fifteen minutes...hot and humid....but it felt really good to see him sleeping when I got there.

I can write good poems sometimes, although I don't consider myself a poet, or a writer, sometimes the urge just hits me and I write something, and I'm usually really pleased with it. I'm proud of that.

Hail Accomplishers of Jejune Deeds!

I once ate a 1-pound hamburger with bacon at Fuddruckers in 7 minutes and 40 seconds to win an impromptu race. The spoils of my proud victory included the near admiration of my peers and a swollen belly. I leisurely polished off my fries as the others faltered one by one.

I'm proud of my writing ability.

I assume a good command of English comes with reading a great deal. I am certainly guilty of that.

My wife has banned me from our local bookshop on many occasions and now refuses to go there with me.

I like my ability to communicate. I can strike up a conversation with any type of person and make them feel comfortable being around me.

My fiance is always amazed at how all of her "difficult" relatives warm right up to me and end up having a great time when I meet them.

I'm proud that I'll will be soon turning 19 in a couple of mouths and have not had any of the various pitfalls many other indivduals have had (STD, got a girl preganat, no drugs, no jail time, etc.)

I'm not saying that I look down on anyone, I've just learned from others mistakes and looking at some of my family's history, it means a lot.

This may be gay and shallow, but here goes:
My freshman year at college I rushed several fraternities, but really wanted a bid from one. I did not get a bid because two graduating seniors thought I was too much of a dork. The next year, against my better judgmnet and at the urging of some of the members, I rushed again.
My senior year at homecoming, when I was president of this fraternity, I was gracious and nice to the guys who came back who had kept me out as a struggling freshman.

My own person -- his by choice
 
Location: Lebell's arms
Raising a very difficult, rebelious, angry step-son to adulthood -- including graduating from high school (not in special ed. despite the fact that his biological mother thought he needed special ed.) and obtaining a respectable job in the milatary. Now he is planning his future career and standing on his own!

I was most proud when the twin step-son toasted me at their high school graduation for being the "best mom a kid could ask for." (And biological mom was in the room.)

I proud of how I think I made a difference in the life of one little autistic girl. When I was 20 I worked at a day care where we had a lot of special kids - most from abusive homes and in foster care along with others who had special needs. One little girl was a head banger and had 3-4 fits a day. None of the teachers wanted to deal with her when she had her fits and the head teacher was left to deal with it instead. When I started there I was happy to help her and the other teachers were glad to cover for me in exchange for them not having to deal with it. She had a pearcing scream and would kick, thrash and bang her head unless you restrained her for about 10-15 minutes every time. She was about 3 and still small enough to restrain simply by holding her closely. I would hug her and rock her and murmur "I love you (insert her name)" over and over. I was there for about 8 months and by the time I left to begin college she had begun to come out of her shell and calm. She even went a couple times for a whole day without a fit near the end of my time. I wish I could see how she is doing now. When I left I told her every day for a couple weeks that I was going to be leaving and showed her on the calender when it was going to happen. She was to the point where she would come running to me when I arrived in the morning. It was a thrill to see this sweet, beautiful child go from a recluse and harming herself and others to so much more calm and loving. I hope I have the chance to work with more children like her.
