An achievement your proud of.

Recently I finished shooting my first feature film. I wrote, produced,, directed, shot and edited the film.

It's taken me 12 years if trying and failing to get to this point and I'm obviously really proud of the achievement.

Here's the question

What have you done that has pushed you, challenged you and ultimately made you feel proud?

I'd love to know some of your awesome acheivements.

My son

Don't think I am a natural parent plus he was born with a visual impairment so been hard at times -operations, problems at school etc

He is a lovely boy/young adult.....and despite being in his teenage years is still lovely and is a caring, sensitive, loving individual

How we did it I have no idea

Now...if he could just conquer keeping his room tidy then he would be perfect

My biggest achievement was forcing myself to becomes well again and face my fears after a murder attempt 8 YEARS AGO

Just Christmas 2014 I was told I would remain in the nursing home indefinitely unlikely to ever live independently in the community

So.. Facing my fear was mine

Well done everybody.

I think something which always makes me feel proud is that I saved someone's life. Four years ago I got a "goodbye" message from a friend who was literally about to hang herself in her garage.

Though I was at work I phoned her, over the course of an hour talked her down from the stool she was standing on, through untying the noose she had made and towards getting help the next day.

Because of that her son still has his mummy and son #2 came along two and a half years later.

its a personal achievement and shouldn't be compared to the live of others. It sounds as if driving is a bug thing for you and you are working to overcome that. Be proud.

Our family is battling against an unseen disability that is physically, emotionally and mentally ripping us apart from the inside out each day.

Raising my son as a single mum, he's 6 and I am unbelievably proud of him.

Personally, losing weight - I'm now within half a stone of goal - having lost 18 stone now since jan 2010 when I started, and have passed my level 2 gym instructor course, doing another teaching module in April. Feel so proud to be able to look at my old size 26 clothes and realise I will never be back there.

Loosing 7 stone last year, it's been a rocky road and there where times I had set backs and gained some of the weight but I've managed to get back on it and re loose, I'm not at my goal yet but I'm starting to see light at the end of the tunnel now

Regardless of what anyone else thinks I've worked really hard for that 7 stone and I'm proud of myself

Here's the question

What have you done that has pushed you, challenged you and ultimately made you feel proud?

I'd love to know some of your awesome acheivements."

There are a lot of achievements a person goes through in life. One of the experiences I had that I could call a life changing event, I moved from one country to another. I start from nothing. After a lot of suffering and falling and standing back up on my feet I learned that success is learning to keep going no matter what obstacles you face. A year later after all that I went through I have it all. When I look back to what I was and what I become I see only an achievement I could be proud of.

I'm glad you said that because I was thinking the same

I dont see my kids as an achievement either, I got pregnant, gave birth and bought them up, that's the circle of life not an achievement, I am proud of my kids my eldest two are both at uni and doing well but that's more down to their own hard word and I'm not taking the credit for that

I used to work as an engineering project planner...but the company restructured, I got a new boss ...and a job i loved turned into a daily drudge of bad management, unreasonable expectations, pressure to meet unrealistic deadlines, endless unproductive meetings, beaurocratic nonsense and working with people that just made each day a little slice of hell ...and I began to wake up every day feeling miserable, and come home feeling miserable.

My biggest achievement was having the confidence to leave, with no small amount of uncertainty/risk with mortgage and bills to pay, and re-train to learn a skill that has enabled me to set up our garage as a workshop and run my own small business from home...I am making a success of it, love every day, am happy and start each day with a smile, and it finally feels like I'm 'living life'

for me overcoming life.

Early teens I was shot In the eye with an air pistol, which left me partially blind in that eye (stopped me joining the Navy). Late 20's beat testicular cancer.

I have built my own bicycle frame, completed the Liverpool to Scarborough twice, the London to Brighton twice. Got my day skipper qualification.

My career . My aim was to become a VP and complete my MBA before turning 30. I'm the youngest VP at my work place. And my job takes me to places. There were amazing people who have helped me to become who I am today. Some were there for reasons, some were for seasons. But I'm thankful for all of them. No regrets!

London

Raising three happy, confident, intelligent, loving daughters following the numbing depression of my son's death, and not allowing my grief to stop me living and loving.

Rushden


"I don't count kids as an "achievement"! Yes I am proud of them and love them to bits, but to call them an achievement I think is to put them on the same level as passing an exam or getting a good job!

But I am proudest of being a published author! Been writing for years and it is great to see my pen name up there on the bookshelves

possibly not if you can spit them out for britain ...if you have battled with infertility your whole life then it sure as hell is !"

I still don't agree. Persevering to enable you to have children is a great achievement, but the your children are not your greatest achievement. Still, opinions differ, I just wouldn't ever liken my children to anything that could be considered superficial.

Working in the job I do now. I support elderly residents with dementia.

Its physically and mentally draining, but the rewards are fantastic. The pay is shit (pun intended) but crack on and get on with it.

I was trying to do my paperwork today and a resident tried to "bite" me (she has no teeth), she'd already had her dinner so guessing she must've been hungry still

I lived on the streets... I've worked hard, to become thé person I am today, and put my past behind me.I have four beautiful children, and a partner, who loves me, for all my faults. So I guess I'm quite proud of me.

i have uploaded music that pianists have neglected. E.g Allan, stephen heller.

May not be great effort on my part but I put them back on the map. Ppl just need to watch esp pianists so they can learn and play how it should be.

Would also love to write film music
