your biggest accoplishments/goals in life?

[satan 59]

All commercial stuff these days, food packaging etc. Was in the wallpaper trade at one point, designing and separating ready for laser engraving. Used to deal with all the big players over here and a few in the states. My plan at school was to become an architect, took all subject to go in that direction but just couldn't get into a practice anywhere, ended up in a small studio doing the wallpaper. Haven't done anything for me in years, just don't get the time. I'll get back into it at some point.

This is quite a loaded question/topic I guess my biggest thing is my two kids, Alice and Jane. I was young when I had them and foolishly married their dad (lesson learned) I have accomplished so much in my 26 years. I was the first of my family to complete high school (dropped out to have baby number one). I was also the first one to get a full scholarship to college. When I was in my teens, I was the lead vocalist in a Christian rock band - we got to tour Canada and it was pretty amazing. Something I will always remember. Until I got kicked out for being knocked up with said firstborn... I've also accomplished something pretty cool that I never thought I would. I bought my first house this past July. That is a goal I have always wanted to reach. This past year I also gained the strength to leave a very emotionally and financially abusive relationship. I started it shortly after my marriage ended and it took two years for me to find a job in a business that wasn't owned by the man I was dating. I was so happy when I finally told him I was done and that I deserved so much better than to be treated like dirt. Thanks to leaving that relationship I learned how to say yes to things I wanted. That is a giant accomplishment for me. I have always done what everyone else wanted and never went after what I did. Totally done with that crap. I finally got my sleeve started. I stopped caring what people thought about me and stopped worrying about disappointing people and just went and got it done. My tattoos are for me, no one else. I have several goals I want to achieve. I want to go back to college for Journalism. I have applied but I missed the cut off date, so I will be offered a place if there is room. I want to travel. I want to leave Canada and visit Las Vegas so I can hang out with Vinnie Paul (close friend of one of the Loaded Radio owners) and play KISS mini-putt...and walk around with booze in the street (Unheard of here in the hammer - unless you are homeless. They do it all the time) I want to go to more shows. Hopefully going to Black Sabbath this April, but I want to go to the BIG festivals. I want to wait until my kids are a bit older, though, so I can bring them haha Lastly, I want to be happy. I want to learn how to enjoy life. I want to look back at my life on my death bed and say that I was honestly happy. Fingers crossed it happens.

My proudest moment was saluting my nations flag during my graduation ceremony for the U.S Army. Basic training was the biggest obstacle I've ever had to face, both physically and mentally. Sent from my LGMS500 using Tapatalk

I am finally starting to reaaalllyyy feel the pressure as well as having a case of the ole senioritis. I have approximately 6 weeks left until my internship is over, and about 8 weeks until this semester is over then on to grad school. So ultimately my goal is to graduate grad school with decent grades and land a job immediately, heh.

You mean you go to school, then college, then something else in America? Here you go to university after school, get your degree, and get to it. As for the question at hand I have finished school, landed a great girlfriend, scuba dived the Great Barrier Reef, seen the Eiffel Tower, overcome clinical depression - twice, and recovered from a very serious accident. Ha and I thought I hadn't achieved anything...

We have associates level, bachelors level, and grad school levels, which can have masters degree and PHD degree. The end of this semester I will have my bachelors degree, which is a four year degree, then I will enroll in graduate/ professional school, where I will obtain a masters of social work in mental health so that I can eventually become licensed and provide therapy sessions.

[RelentlessOblivion]

Here you get your Bachelors qualification, have the option of doing Honours if your GPA is high enough, then you can enrol in Masters, then PhD if you want but the bachelors is enough for most jobs (i.e. lawyers).

[mindy6158]

Here you get your Bachelors qualification' date=' have the option of doing Honours if your GPA is high enough, then you can enrol in Masters, then PhD if you want but the bachelors is enough for most jobs (i.e. lawyers).[/quote'] Not here anymore, people are starting to want masters minimum. Fucking sucks.

[RelentlessOblivion]

Anything above honours here sets you up more as a career academic/scholar then anything else

Movin there

With the American dollar currently buying $1.30ish Australian it's a good time to...

[Os Abysmi Vel Daath]

I really hate the credentialism that's prevalent in America. You need a degree to do fucking anything, and it's stupid.

[RelentlessOblivion]

I agree, let the homeless bloke who dropped out of school in seventh grade have a crack at flying the plane once in a while

[Os Abysmi Vel Daath]

I agree' date=' let the homeless bloke who dropped out of school in seventh grade have a crack at flying the plane once in a while [/quote'] Sounds like a good idea to me

[RelentlessOblivion]

Just don't let the ex Hot Topic checkout chick work as a butcher...

[mindy6158]

Just as long as I don't still gotta bring the bastard 22.899 poundage of groceries n shit....

[RelentlessOblivion]

That really doesn't sound like a lot Mindy...it's like eight kilograms of groceries. I have skinny noodle arms and I could carry that in one hand...for a little while.

[FatherAlabaster]

It's ok, as long as you can avoid getting expelled, you'll never have to.

Well let me give you a cookie! Nah, the heavy things was more the amount of time I had to carry them, which was about ten minutes and it fucking sucked.

[RelentlessOblivion]

Cookie? I'll have a macadamia cookie please Getting back to the topic at hand I'm quite pleased with what I've accomplished to this point in time. Not content to stop there but happy that I can lay claim to some achievements at least.

Scratch my last post here. Finishing school is an accomplishment I guess, and so is maintaining a steady relationship for seven months, but I've got nothing else to my name in 24 10/12 years. It's pathetic really.

[witPhassion]

Right now: focus and do well in school. Travel with my best friend. Be around with inspiring and positive people as much as possible. 

One of my achievements now so far is cutting negative people out of my life. ??
