Whats your proudest moment in life?

[Ellis]

So members of GTP, What is the proudest moment of your life? 👍

 

[terminator363]

Someone said I was awesome here on GTPlanet.

 

[Omnis]

I shot a quarter-sized ice blob that we stuck on some cardboard from like 150 yards away my first time using a rifle. That was pretty sweet.

My proudest moment in life was sticking up for someone being bullied in school. A simple and common thing, I know, but yet I feel that I improved that persons life positively in some way.

 

[PeterJB]

Duh, completing Oblivion, what else?

But seriously, in my relatively short life it would probably have to be successfully juggling three instruments with three A Levels, essentially doing six studies simultaneously, and passing all of them.

Either placing 3rd place in a Nation-wide design competition, or getting a strike on my first frame in bowling.

you can see that I don't value this competition a whole lot if I'm comparing it to a casual bowling session.

Proudest, but also saddest moment was December 13th, 2009.

We'd ridden down to London to take part in the Toy Run from the Ace Cafe, and because of the way we and the bike looked, we were allowed to park right by the hospital doors so that any children brought down from the wards could see the bike, and sit on it if they wished. One litle lad aged about 8 was brought down by his Dad, and the smile that spread across his face when he was put on the bike was brilliant. His dad took some photographs, and then thanked us for making his son smile, adding that he was unlikely to live to see Christmas Day. I had to go round a corner to cry once they had gone back into the hospital. I'll never be prouder of anything than making that dying little boy smile.

Erm, nothing springs to mind. *sigh* Shows how interesting my 13 3/4 years have been so far.

 

[Carbonox]

I got a platinum in RE5.





Wow.

Shape your own future. 👍

Being there for friends in need recently

Thank you is a word I've grown up (sadly) to hear very little of. To hear it from people who mean a lot to me means a lot!

Dude, that is touching.

Proudest moment for me? June 2011. It was Grade 7, and in September I would go to my first year of high school., and am now in high school. As I am quite good at math and my parents agree, I had taken the entrance exam to get into Math 8 Honors. Then in June, my teacher informed me that I had done it. I got in! My parents were so happy. And to make the deal 20% cooler, I have had a test average of about 84% so far. Talk about good news everyone!

 

[Ryou]

Nothing much..

I guess being able to see and play a couple of songs with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra was the proudest moment in my life.

 

[BobbyBRAKEaNek]

My kids, me being a dad.

That's deep. Thanks for making that boy smile. I bet he really appreciated it.

High School graduation, earning my 2nd degree black belt in Karate, and going to the BMW M Performance Driving School and getting compliments from pretty much everyone there. I even won the two competitions they had for us, even though there were other guys there with some autocross experience

Recalling a 2 paragraph excerpt for a school exhibition, word for word, without any cards or cues, and all within a week

 

[Wyvern89]

Defended a girl in high school from being molested by douchebags, buying my first guitar, and playing guitar and singing on stage for the first time in a college music festival.

 

[ranhammerR34]

Let's see... In 1997 and 1998, my marching band won the Class C State Finals in Indiana.... Graduating from High School in June of 1999... but the proudest and probably the most awesome birthday present/Christmas Present to my Dad was in 2004 and it was this: Being the first college graduate with a degree of the family. --- Randy

 

[boomee]

Hmm I have a couple and I will rank them accordingly
Accepting the Lord Jesus Christ as my savior is definitly #1
Marrying the Love of my life is #2
Graduating the Police Academy #3
Being blessed to come back in one piece from Deployment to the middle East #4

 

[Shaun]

An easy one for me.

Seeing my two sons born.

And in second place, raising a fair amount of money for the Royal Childrens Hospital in Melbourne through our social club at my local pub a few years back. It's amazing how how easy it can be to raise money for a cause that is so important to a lot of people.
I started after one of my sons had to make a few visits to the RCH, it's surprising how even your hard nosed bastard will happily hand over his last few dollars when you mention it's for the childrens hospital.

Cheers Shaun.

Wow you have a remarkable aptitude in mathematics man! Procuring good academic achievements in school subjects can be a pride to others being a sheer fruit of your diligency in your studies. Keep up with the good work in your second and third year of high school too.

 

[Jump_Ace]

Well I'd have to say it was the day I PR'd in high jump and triple jump on the same day in college. It was a nice warm day in May (which in Oregon is uber rare). High Jump was 6'6 3/4" and Triple Jump was 44' 2". I was unstoppable that day, I never scratched once in High Jump until it got to 6'8 1/4" and in Triple Jump, on the previous jump it was also a PR at 43'10". Those were the days.....*daydream*

A close second would have to be when I won Districts in 8th grade in both High Jump and Discus. More proud of the Discus win because one of my best friends (a few years older than me; my track mentor) and I would train essentially year round for track (mostly throw discus when it wasn't raining ) and a couple years after that win, my friend passed away in a terrible accident involving a semi truck.

Hmmm....Trying to think hmmm....



I dunno, actually going up and talking to this hot girl?

Out of 14 3/5 same answer. I guess uh... I dunno.

 

[CMvan46]

Celebrating 4 years with my girlfriend this week. One more damn year till school is done and then it'll be 5 years with my fiance.

For my "more manly" sporting life it'd be tying the defending American national champions in hockey. We were god's at that tournament haha.

 

[Alex p.]

Ok, I'll give it a try.

I guess for me it's always defending the weaker ones, when they were bullied, always did that, always have been hated for that.

And in all actuallity, I have also been bullied so yeah.

Oh and maybe being a good uncle to my little nephew, who I love almost like a son, I would die for him without even thinking.

 

[PeterJB]

I retract my previous statement and change it to playing my Cello on stage at the Royal Albert Hall (lastnight)

 

[Lizard]

The time I won a bet against one of my school teachers that I could win in a go kart race on the last week of school.
