Mine hasn't happened yet. It would be when I graduate from college with a bachelor degree, and be done. I am not planning to go for a master degree.

Mine would be finding my soul mate!!  Married to him 15 yrs and wouldn't change that at all.  Other thing would be saving his life while in hospital.  One more would be making money with my home business doing photo restoration and project printing.  The best is knowing were I will be when I die!!

My greatest life accomplishment was the day that I saw my daughter come into this world, also the proudest day of my life.

My daughter is my greatest accomplishment, because for the longest time, we didn't think that we could have kids, because of the medications that I take for ADHD. She was a slight premmie, otherwhise born completely normal, and beautiful. I have to say, she is the best accomplishment I have made, and I love her so much. We once thought that we would never get a chance to meet her, and now she's here, and she is healthy and growing!!! I love my daughter and my husband soooooo much!

Losing my dad right before Christmas, making me without parents at the age of 30 and continuing on with an after school program for young kids and making near straight A's in college.

helping to raise a multi-disabled child for 7 years, going back to school for musical theater and dance (then finishing first and second respectively in both programs), taking what I've learned from various journeys and using the knowledge to help others....

Finishing college.  I have a disability, so finishing college took me eight years.  It was worth it.

my greatest accomplishment so far has been falling in love! i had always been a cold, selfish, my way or the highway kind of person so relationships never really lasted very long. i had one relationship that lasted 3 years in high school but it was more of a relationship of convenience because all my friends were dating all his friends. and we used to break up all the time because i cared about myself more than him and everything had to be my way, my terms. i spent almost 5 years after that being single and i decided that i was okay with that because i thought i could never love someone as much as i loved my son and myself. then i met my husband and within a few months i realized that i never wanted to know what my life would be like without him. this started such a change in me that i fell in love with him, i learned to put others before me, to cooperate and make sacrifices and let someone else take the reins from time to time. this change had made me happier, and has led to our wonderful marriage, and our beautiful little girl that will 2 in a few weeks.

I got 4th place in a statewide History competition when I was 13.
I had worked really hard for that...I was very proud of it.

Greatest life accomplishments and why?? Hmm... I don't think of myself as a person with high ambitions. But being on my own with little or no financial preparation and help ever since moving out on my own surviving until now.. would that be considered an accomplishment?

I would have to say being a mom. I went through so much to have her and ended up having her 3 months early. Had to wait 2 months just to hold her. She is now a happy 7 month old.
