If you ask just about any Christian my greatest sin is pride.

I think I might just list one achievement per stage of my life so far that I am proud of or at least used to be proud of.

As a baby I almost never cried literally almost never and I am quite proud of that not for any specific reason I just think that’s pretty cool that I have a baby wasn’t crying and whining annoying pest.

When I was around four years old they had my head ripped open by a pitbull and I had to have my Scalp stapled shut so I have two small scars on both my eyebrows and one massive scar on my forehead and the reason I’m proud of this is because despite the fact that I was literally bleeding everywhere I was actually fairly calm I say fairly calm because it was Very scary at least for that first day after that though the annoying part wasn’t that I had my head ripped open it was the fact that I wasn’t allowed to pull out those staples which were really bugging me.

In grade school they always had us doing these competitions every year where everyone in the grade school would have to compete In athletic competitions they weren’t really anything that big it was mostly just runningIn athletic competitions they weren’t really anything that big it was mostly just running, jumping and throwing Well anyways I won two 2nd place ribbons, a 3rd placed ribbon and a 1st place for something I can’t remember.

In middle school we had people from different professions talk about what they do and I was lucky enough to hold a conversation with a nasa engineer over a Skype call with the class, well me and one other student actually got high praises from him because of our knowledge and ability to understand things he brought up. (So for context I grew up being competent in every subject that wasn’t math but had a particularly high aptitude in science and linguistics while the other student was a walking Thesaurus who seemed like he could Recite the dictionary from memory)

In high school I saved a few people from a fire and more importantly didn’t hit my half sister after she accused me of starting it Because oddly enough it was much more stressful dealing with my Half sister’s BS than it was running into a burning building. I should note that I only needed to run in for one person because I was able to wake everyone else up and they were able to get out on their own but still.

I turned 18 during Covid so I haven’t had the opportunity to have accomplishments as an adult or at least not nearly as many but that said During Covid my social anxiety had become more severe But that said I did find out I was able to throw One of those really big window air conditioners any effort And I’m talking about one of those air conditioners that’s bigger than your torso buy a decent amount. Even then I don’t even think that was my most impressive feat of strength as an adult because I just remembered one other thing that I did that actually tops that quite easily. So during the winter it snowed quite a bit and so I decided to make a giant snowball and when I say a giant snowball I mean it was larger than my torso and I was able to pick it up about 3 or 4 inches before it had shattered from its own weight. Keep in mind that I did all this while dehydrated and hungry. You see at that point I was really broke and didn’t have much money while the place I was living in also didn’t have running water or at least it didn’t have running water that was safe to drink so I had to buy water from Walmart which costs money and I was poor very poor.

recently, all of the 30 middle school students that were assigned for me to tutor and help them recover from failed grades and/or to catch up with their subjects... they all approved and passed their tests and are moving on to the next grade, and they won't need more tutoring next year, they can go on their own... and I that's a very good and rewarding feeling

I spent a lot of night hours working into it, lol.. most of the time I am here at G@G I am also working on those tasks or my actual job

Phoenix98 · Answer

I had a karate kid like moment during a match in a martial arts tournament years ago.

when I threw my kick it was so perfectly executed that the entire crowd went wild including a lot of esteemed masters.

I lost the fight but I gained the respect of a lot of strong people so it was still a win in my book and I won like 12 medals that day to.

another moment I’m proud of was a saved a newborn animal that had been born that day or the day before from dying. She had fallen off her mother and abandoned and was crying when I found her so I took her home watched over her all night and took her to a shelter in the morning.

I recently completed my Catechism courses and was consecrated by a man who has a chance (slim though it might be) of becoming pope.

And I don't know if I'd consider this an "accomplishment", but I was tremendously honored last week when a friend of mine asked me to be his soon-to-be firstborn's godfather.

Everyone here will talk about big accomplishments especially the men. However, when the covid hit, everyone was shut in and being single wasn't easy. To get through that period, I started creating art and found out it was a great source of satisfaction. It has been two years and I keep improving my art skills. I have no plans to be a professional artist but I love what i get from art.

Recently I found a young woman sat at a roadside trying to take her own life. I sat with her until help arrived. We just talked random stuff. It was the most frightening thing I've ever done. I'm not experienced or trained, i do have a lot of empathy for others though. Anyway, she is still alive to this day. I dont tell many people about this but it still haunts me sometimes.
