I was talking to a friend about college and remembered the final project I did for my music business class. The jingle was a collaboration with a different friend of mine, and the professor played it for the class. Twice, as he laughed maniaclly and my classmates stared at the two of us with utter apprehension. It was one of those moments that I will absolutely cherish eternally.
Things you're proud of
Only 2 things right now. Everytime my kid does something that touches my heart I think of what a good job I've done so far in only 2.5 years. Things like "you're my favorite daddy" or when she sees me come home from work. The other would be bowling. Been doing it most of my life and I'm just now getting serious to the point that I hope to be on the PBA Tour(what you see on Sundays, ESPN) in 3-4 years.

I'll look for you on ESPN. :P I can't say that I am drawn into watching bowling on a regular basis but sometimes when I am flipping through channels, I will stop and watch a game or two of bowling when it's on. Good luck, I hope you make it onto ESPN!
As a adult, getting both my degrees undoubtedly. As a kid, arriving nearly two hours late to my GCSE art exam and still getting a A* for my final mark.

I saved a bunch old children once. Around winter a local fam back home takes kids on sleigh on some back rodes. One day the people accross the streats ghoats scared the horses somehow and the sleigh went off the road allong with the kids and the horses and tipped over into a ditch. The horses were on there sides and were scared so they were kicking and thrashing around. We managed to get the kids all to safenty and then started to work cutting the horses free of the leather harnesses with our pocket knives. A few times I has a hair away from being killed bt a wildly thrashing horse but we ende up getting them loose and into a stall so they could calm down.
I'm proud of my girlfriend who is taking her masters in Cccupational Therapy. She made all A's her first year and get this... she had her own cadaver. She dissected an entire body. That shit is hardcore. She's an amazing girl.
I myself, am proud of my Business Administration diploma, and I'm going to take my first year of Industrial and Residential Wiring (electrical) this September. I've also, successfully quit smoking cigarettes for over a month now. Besides that, I'm just happy to be enjoying life.

Pretty much. I walked in and everyone was horrified because I was expected to get a A, but then I was so late... But I did knuckle down, even though I had little idea of what the brief entailed, and what I was going to paint. I managed to create a self portrait that got me the mark in the end. The picture was so good a friend of my art teacher offered to buy it, I refused and a week later someone stole it off the school wall. Someone actually stole a 17 year old's art work...
Someone actually stole a 17 year old's art work... "I'd be incredibly proud if that had happened to me.
I can't think of a single event. I guess I'm mostly proud of some things I did at college, lik some minor papers and short stories that got published in literature magazines. Nothing big though, and nothing that I plan to keep on doing. But it was fun at the time.
I once caught a serial masturbator at a laundromat. I was thanked by both the police and the laundromat owner and got a free soda for my efforts. I started doing my laundry at my mom's house after that.
Proud of my body, i've been working out for like 5 years and i'm super happy about the results. Also i quit dipping (Used to help me cut weight for wrestling) so im proud i still have my lower jaw.

I'm proud of...... well I don't think I've ever been proud of anything really.
" Graduating from High School and this HUGE ass Japanese Phoenix on my forearm. "Don't mean to be a dick, but the way our education system is run, it's impossible anymore for a teacher to hold you back a grade. You can graduate high school and not be able to read.
Great jingle JackiJinx, it's catchy as hell.
Anyway, I'm proud of
Took four months over the course of about 30-40 hours.
The best man's speech I gave at my mate's wedding was possibly the best spot of writing and public speaking I've ever done. The bride even kept the bit of paper I had my stuff written down on. Every now and then, if I'm feeling a bit down on myself, I'll think of that moment and remind myself that I get it right occasionally.
I'm also proud of the 10-year relationship I've had with my girlfriend. We rarely have disagreements and we've just bought a house together.
Oh, and seeing Jeff wearing my Space Neon Lobsters shirt when he did I Love Mondays recently? Yeah, that's right up there.
" I'm proud of...... well I don't think I've ever been proud of anything really.Sure you can... It means you love who you are, always a good place to start.Ok, I'm proud of having low self-esteem and a true lack of any confidence. I can be proud of that right!"

Dude that is Awesome.
Just plain Brilliant.
Well done.
I have a lot of creative output in the form of music and graphics, and it feels good to see it continually improve and take off into new areas. I'm proud that I'm at the point where if I want something, I can just make it myself, and at a high quality. If I want a new shirt, I can design one. If I want to hear a certain type of music, I can make it. That sort of thing. I'm proud of that. :)

This wins. And I'M PROUD TO BE AN AMURKHAN, WHERE AT LEAST I KNOW I'M FREE!
