Achievements

I was thinking earlier today about the things in my life that I have achieved. To some people they may seem small but nonetheless I feel proud because they are personal to me and 1 of them is something my late mother said I would never achieve so I set about proving her wrong and succeeded.
My achievements are first and most important having my 2 beautiful children, my daughter who is 23 is engaged, working and has lots of friends, she is also the kindest, sweetest person I know. My son who is 14. He can cook, he cooks pasta better than me, he does his own washing and ironing and he is also a gifted linguist and does especially well in Italian class at school. Secondly when I was 40 years old I got my degree in Social Policy and Admin, I got 2.2. This was the thing that my late mother said I would never achieve. When I started the course I was pregnant with my son, I gave birth in the Christmas holidays and went back to University 10 days later. Another achievement is staying in the same job for 8 years, normally I quit after 2 years through sheer boredom. Over the past 2 years I have achieved self confidence something I never thought I'd have but I got there in the end. My most recent achievement is finding happiness with a guy I met on this site. Small achievements yes but it's better to look at what's been achieved rather than what's gone wrong. Looking at achievments gives that feel good feeling if you know what I mean. Everybody has done something that they're proud of no matter how small.
