16/30: Accomplishments

16/30: What are your five greatest accomplishments?

1. Being married in the temple. Above all else this was always on my mind and an accomplishment I wanted to achieve. Getting married period was always a fear of mine; I just figured no one would want me. There was never a second guess in my mind that I wanted to be worthy and able to be married in the temple.

2. Graduating from college. This was so huge for me. I always knew I wanted to go to college but to FINALLY after five years be able to walk across the stage and get my degree was amazing. I’m so proud to have been able to succeed in furthering my education. 

3. Becoming a mother. I love being a mom and it’s something I always wanted to achieve along with being married. I couldn’t ask for a more perfect little man to make this accomplishment.

4. Losing 69 pounds. You wouldn’t know now…And I wish I had the pictures available to show you, but I lost 69 pounds in high school. I still think it’s an amazing feat and hope to do make this accomplishment a 2^nd time soon.

5. Being myself. “To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

I find that being able to be myself and live my life according to my beliefs and how I should be living is quite an accomplishment. In a world that promotes so much recklessness and chaos it’s good to be able to stand strong and not be influenced by others.
