Your biggest achievement in the last 10 years

Hmm i'm only 17 so...
The only thing that i can see that is remotely good so far is achieveing a AAABB in my higher exams which will allow me to go to university to study engineering :D.
 
Nothing much, moved out, got a decent job, run a team of developers all who are at least 10 years older than me, actually that doesnt sound too bad for 22.
 
My biggest achievement has been getting myself out of debt, paying off 16k in the last 2 years has really been hard but its so worth it now.

Now just the mortgage left :'(
 
I'm now 20, I met my boyfriend, who I now have a house with, got into uni, passed my driving test and did a zipslide thing for charity.

I don't know if I would actually class any of those things as an achievement though. Winning a Nobel Prize, now that would be an achievement!!
 
Probably passing my Police Assessment Centre, might not sound a big deal but it will open up so many choices for my career now. I've had a lot of bad luck over the years so this is a nice bit of news. :)
 
Getting married.

In the next 10 years, I would like to post here and say I've moved abroad to Canada and set up a new life and family.
 
Graduating uni, after 3 long hard years - and numerous attempts to quit!
Starting my first 'real' job the week after results.
Buying our own home, having a cat and a dog (our happy little family)
Getting married to the most wonderful man in the world, without whom none of the above would have happened!
(not in chronological order!)
May not seem a lot, but I feel like the luckiest girl ever!

Edit: btw (as other people have mentioned it) i am 23 - and looking forward to the next 10 years!!

Darn... I just realised how pathetic my decade has been... next decade should be more productive though, uni and jobs ahead..

Anyway, only stuff I really remember as an achievement was conquering (or at least slightly subduing) my fear of women, being drunk (not often), going scuba diving in a swimming pool, got the train from Wales to Yorkshire a few years ago - made me feel oh so grown up :p ... I would say GCSE's as well, but tbh I don't think I tried my best or really achieved anything doing them...

There is plenty of fun stuff I've done over the decade, but hardly anything that was actually an achievement, makes me feel depressed :(
 
Finishing year one at college doing electrical installation and feeling pleased with myself which very rarely happens, here goes year 2! :)

knuckling down and actually revising, passing exams and generally feeling happy knowing I'm finally doing something I'm enjoying.
