graduating from college, getting married, having a child. And giving money to charity when I can

Still working on it, but moving to HI from NJ was pretty bold and significant.

Graduating from University-a future achievement

graduating college and losing weight without any diet aids.

none.

I think it's an interesting question, and Maria's response got me thinking about why. One one hand it makes me think of tangible stuff, like degrees and whatnot, but on the other it's also a question about what kind of people we are and whether we're proud of it. I'm still working on both answers.

So, basically, that was a long way of saying that I'm intrigued by your answer, Maria.

Uncomplicated response: 2 (overpriced) degrees, alma mater, losing weight, being healthier

Slightly more complicated: I'm proud of the person I am today because I've changed a lot for the better, figuring out who I am and being comfortable with that. Though I have fewer people around me and I run into more conflict with others, life is a lot easier.

my terrific two little people who call me mom

my law degree

letting go of my commitment/abandonment issues to marry my husband

letting go of a lotta ish regarding my family, that could really have me messed up in the head….

same as above but about husband's family…LOL!!!

Standing in Newcomb Hall @ Jefferson's University…the very moment when my degree was conferred upon me, I had the most overwhelming sense of accomplishment and pride. It was an amazing beautiful feeling!

When I received 11, 000 dollars from a friend who died from cancer, I donated it to Doctors Without Borders. I know it's what most would do… but I was still glad to see I stook to my ethics when I was given the power to indulge. But it's rare that I am proud of myself. There are so many humiliating things I've done. I guess I should stop sulking and be more proactive.

Wow, Ilnaz, that's real and open

At 26 years young there is much more to accomplish. I would love to say that I already have but it would be inaccurate based on my heart felt wishes. I believe that my life achievement has yet to come. It is within an arms length but it has yet to come.

I would be very proud to be a catalyst for change on my continent and in my countries(Liberia,RDC).. ..Hope we turn the page on old politics,and archaic mentalities…Help Africa become raise to its true potential….

I'm most proud of moving out to NYC alone (well, with my cat) and actually creating a good life for myself, despite the fact that my family was not supportive of my move at all. Kinda like other people have said, I'm also proud of who I have become. Being a happy, educated, married, NYC-loving, conscious, world traveler was certainly not a given. I come from a long line of teen moms with broken hearts, broken homes, minimum wage jobs and seemingly, very limited options. So now, I want to enable my little cousins, nieces and nephews to see beyond the corner of the world they've been shown so far.

Hmmm…obtaining my bachelor's and master's degree, moving to the city of my dreams (NYC), leaving a marriage amicably, starting my blog and finding a great online community.

To be honest I am proud of everything I have done to date, the good and the bad.

As a young African-American woman some would say I shouldn't have had the opportunities I've had throughout my life thus far. I shouldn't have been raised by both parents. I shouldn't have started reading, writing ,and speaking in full sentences at a young age. I shouldn't speak so well I could go toe to toe with most broadcast anchors. I graduated with honors from one of the best HBCUs. My first job was at one of the world's best fashion magazines and then I transitioned to one of the world's largest spirituality sites. I am most proud of my life thus far. Check back with me in about 10 years, I know by the grace of God I'll have so much more to tell you.

And like the Cruel Secretary said, I am proud to have found a great online community as well.

Becoming great friends with my parents.

ilnazhad I love what you did with the money as DWB is one of my favorite charities.

ronniedobbs,
I'm not proud of personal achievements. I hope that isn't offensive but it is one of my "philosophies" if you will. There is nothing for me to gain by patting myself on the back. I don't think I deserve that yet.

Being true to myself and being the best person I can be.

The first thing that came to my head: being able to forgive my parents for the harm they caused me and subsequently becoming a woman free of so much pain, fear and anger.
