Same as titles. Events in your life that would be worthy of an achievement were it a video game. Anything from your first love to graduating from School. It could also be something surprising such as... waking up from your bed?
 
- Got my Bachelor's in psychology
- Returned to school at the age of 32 to try to get into medical school
- Got a job in a lab (wheeee)
- March will mark four years with my boyfriend, which is 4x longer than any other relationship I've ever had
- Took my first trip by myself to somewhere where there wasn't anyone waiting for me on the other side, to a country I'd never been to before and only have a beginner's grasp on the language, and still managed to live there by myself in an apartment for a week (lots of firsts in this one)
 
- Surving my Sophomore, Junior, and Senior years of High School to be able to graduate. I was fighting for my life medically all three years, but was able to pull through and graduate
- Receiving my first degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do. My first master said I would never become a black belt, but I proved him wrong that day.
- Passing my 4th degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do on my 2nd try. I failed my first 4th Dan testing, and worked even harder to pass the 2nd time around.
- Receiving my first degree black belt in Hap Ki Do. For years, I had fears of being a partner for other students due to getting badly hurt a few times. I had to put aside this fear to be able to pass, and I did.
- Composing my first Symphonic band music, and my band class in high school playing it in rehearsal.
- Getting first place in a mile run competition when I was 13.
- Getting first place for the first time ever in a Martial arts tournament when I was 18.
 
Being me because I'm awesome beyond awesome. Plus it would have been a very long essay.
 
Most of mine are academic awards/titles that I've received (for my extracurricular classes, since I'm not actually smart) but I also consider my weight loss to be a big personal achievement for myself.
 
I have a career doing what I love most (freelance artist) and I make a good living off of it. Going to school is just an obligation that I would like to fulfill for my parents who want to see me graduate college, but I doubt I'll change anything career-wise. Very lucrative and I am my own boss.
 
Earning my high school diploma, AA and bachelor's degrees.
Being employed for half of my life (I just turned 32).
Getting my driver's license and owning car.
