My proudest achievement is one of two things (yes I'm that proud
The first one is I overcame a fear of flying by going on a flying without fear course. This was a massive step for me and it literally opened up a whole new world. Great things lie beyond your comfort zone!
The second one is doing my undergraduate degree as a mature student and winning two awards for my work. I couldn't go to university at the same age as my friends because of illness and it gave me a real sense of accomplishment to finally show what I could do!
Who's next?

I’m also proud of my GCSE results as I was very unwell during the exam period but I still managed to get some decent grades.

Also, how old were you when you studied, if that’s not too personal a question?
Thanks!

I must admit, I'm also struggling to find something I take pride in now. A lot of the things that I have 'achieved' despite my issues are bittersweet because I could only do them once and hated it the whole time I was there, only appreciating what I'd done afterwards but not able to even attempt it again.
I did win a 'student of engineering' award back when I was in college which I should probably be proud of. Never thought much of it at the time. Assumed it was just some Millennial equality thing where everyone would get an award. I tried to pass it up as I was terrified of going to an award ceremony but was strongly persuaded to go. It turned out there were only 2 out of each sector that won the awards so slightly more exclusive than I expected!
Still had to go to the ceremony and hated it lol, had to walk up on stage in front of a huge hall full of people...also had my picture taken and put in the local paper...
That's an amazing achievement @OverlyAnxious The mere thought of engineering makes my brain hurt as I'm not technically minded. I am sure you earned every second of that awkward prize-giving ceremony

I don't have a cut-out myself but I reckon an older family member probably still does!
I like engineering as it's set by rules and laws that (almost) never change...makes it all nice and predictable! It's the unpredictable nature of humans that I struggle with!
I would have to say my proud achievement is being a mum and nurturing my son to be the person he is now and becoming.
I have picked myself up after a very rough few years, which included broken marriage, losing my leg, losing my job and home, losing my independance becoming a single parent all within the same year
Now I am back to enjoying life though it is a different life and my son has been my rick and my reason for keeping fighting
@janer1967 Blimey lady. That is an awful lot to process and you've come out the other end as strong as you are. Well done. I bet your son is a true credit to you.
