Top Ten Accomplishments 15-23

Here are some of the bigger accomplishments from ages 15 to ages 23 (in no particular order):
1) getting the choir and director choice awards in church choir at the same time- mostly because only one person has done that ever besides me and he's an inspiration. it is hard to believe, but I do have a good ensemble voice sometimes.
2) entering college- as crazy as it seems now, college was probably last on my goals when starting high school. I worked my behind off and eventually made it to where I got good enough grades the last couple of years to be a possible candidate for admission. entering the social side was my next endeavor.
3) figuring out the BUS in 2 days- once again, this proves that I'm smart. And that I earned going to college.
4) doing Unified Sports and pick-up ball and church-leagues and doing well- this proved that I wasn't just somebody who did well competing with just people with differing abilities. I also played well at lunchtime football for a while and well with church camp sports for a while, but these sports endeavors proved that I could play with pretty much anybody, which I always wanted.
5) working volunteer jobs and starting my first paid job- perhaps the biggest accomplishment at this point. the volunteer jobs helped give me solace that I could work hard and do what I needed to do and the paid job I started at the end of this era and I still have to this day.
6) making friends in college well the first year and beyond- high school adjusted socially for the whole time and I had a close friend circle, but at this point, I don't really hang out with anyone there. college I hang out with a lot of people and there are some that after they leave I will make a point to hang out with.
7) doing orientations- mostly because I don't believe in them, but I've always been a viable source, so I helped out with them anyways.
8) expanding leadership- there were many things I did in some community but not others. when I turned 22 and 23, I continually expanding my leadership possibilities and opportunities, and I enjoyed it immensely.
9) 3.217- this was my high school ending GPA after year 5. despite some academic shortcoming my first year and some shortcoming with time I could spend studying and how much high school equaled hell, I was able to complete high school that well.
10) going to a foreign country for 2 1/2 weeks and thriving- this is an experience I will never forget. I triumphed in the travels with my Mom by my side and we were able to enjoy my 21st in style.
