Nothing wrong with being introverted. Extroverts think they need to "normalize" you to being like them, but screw them. I am introverted and I am NORMAL (and no, I don't want to get together and go out Friday night)!

I had a high school counselor that told me I wouldn’t make it through nursing school because of my grades. I listened to him and didn’t go to college. A few years later I went to a local community college, met with a counselor and told her about my desire to become a nurse and my experience was with the high school counselor. She said he’s right, you’ll never make it. Again, didn’t go to college. A few more years pass. I get a little wiser and wonder who these people are to think I’ll never make it though college to become a registered nurse. I meet with a third counselor. I tell her the stories of how I was told I would never make. She looked me square in the eye and said “you’ll make a great nurse”. I entered the nursing program, excelled and tutored other students and became a registered nurse. The day I graduated, I called that high school counselor, 15 years later, and told him never, ever tell another high school kid they can’t reach their dream. I’m proud of becoming a registered nurse. Never, ever let someone tell you that you can’t achieve your dream.

Of trying to, and I hope achieving, be a better person. Less judgemental, less critical, more open minded, more willing to learn about people who's lives are different to mine. Trying to be more patient with myself and others. I've been most successful with not caring too much about what other people think of me - that's their business, not mine.

I was playing Mario Kart 8, on the Big Blue map, and my dad was ahead of me, in first place. I hit a power up, got a blue shell, and launched it. It hits him just as he touches the finish line, and I zip in front of him, and win.

The power people have to achieve great things. Whether that is working 14 hour shifts in hospitals to save lives during the pandemic, accomplishing a breath taking stunt on a ski slope, or even having the strength to get dressed after fighting a period of depression.
This has been so evident over the last year and a half - the kindness and support people have shown to others and the environment is wonderful.

For once I actually have a couple things, I got really good grades, a lot of positive referrals, I made it to my 15th birthday (an achievement I didn't expect to get), and my little cousins look up to me. I'm mostly proud of them though, they are much stronger then I am and I think I look up to them more than they know.

I'm proud to say that I'm someone my family can count on. I've always told my nieces and nephews (I have no kids, medical reasons) that if they feel they can't talk to their parents, they can always come to me and they'll have my added support. My father is recently widowed (my mom died in September 2020) and he can count on me to help him with paper work etc and his bank (he's only learning now how to use the ATM). It might seems that it's being taken advantage of, but it helps me mentally to know I can help them.

I’m proud of myself because I managed to get passing grades this year. School during Covid was insanely hard for me, and yet, I managed to do so much better as the year went on. I had some incredible teachers and so many people help me out, and I succeeded. This actually works for school in general, but this year was definitely the most challenging.

I'm proud that I taught my German Shepherd to play Find It with her treats. Basically, I hide her treats around a room and tell her "Go find your treats!" And as she nears one, I'll say "Warmer" until she's right on top of it, then I say "Hot!" And she'll stop and smell the area she's in until she finds it. If she walks away, I'll say "Colder" and she usually turns back around.

I grew up very poor. I'm told my mom would skip meals so I could eat. I also had a hard time in school due to severe social anxiety and dyslexia. I finished my bachelors degree at 35 graduating with honors. I started working in my field within a month and today I own a nice house with a great mountain view. I own my dream car and am positioned to retire a millionaire at 55.

When I was fourteen I had a big fight with my brother (we even got to a point of physically fighting). It was for a stupid reason but we both were really stubborn and proud, so we kinda decided on not acknowledge the existence of each other for several years. Time passed by, and we both grew up without knowing much of the other, but the I learned that he was now married to an awesome woman, had s little child and was working hard and being the best father/husband he could. I had grown too, became less stubborn and I was learning to accept my mistakes and try to fix what I could -meanwhile I still could- and decided that having such a burden in the soul was not healthy. So, almost ten years after the fight, I got in contact with my brother, we talked it out and apologized to each other.
Now I have not just my brother back, but also I have a marvellous sister-in-law and a wonderful niece.
I've never been so proud of anything in my life than decided to let aside my stupidity, and reconciled with him.

Isn't that the sort of thing people say when you don't really register with them? If they were saying it to someone else theyd probably use the word, 'bland', or just "who?"
