What's been the greatest achievement of your life?

[PorkChop]

I finish uni in a matter of days, and if I manage to graduate with a 2:1, that'll easily be the greatest achievement of my life.

What's your major?

I really can't think of many 'great' achievements, but last year I made the top 15% in my state when it came to medium scores in the social science department across all universities. I got an invite to join some academic club, too, so that's pretty cool.

I often can not grasp the subtlety of your humour.

Ask the question in a non-Chewy way.

You were in the top 15% in medium scores.

Yeah, at the end of every year they calculate your medium score for that respective year (assignments, examinations, essays, etc) and if you break the top 15% across your field (for me, social sciences) they offer you some invite into an academic club which is privately run from another institution. That's what the invite letter said, anyways.

I haven't achieved anything in my life that I would consider 'great' as of yet. My daughter is amazing (to me, anyway) but that's more to do with who she is and her personality rather than how I've raised her so far and It doesn't feel right to take credit for that.

Well, now I can't claim mine or I look like a horrible parent

Eeeek, sorry!

That's been mine so far. It was a relief to get a 2:1 because had I got anything other than that, considering the course I was doing was a "Mickey Mouse" course, I'd have hidden in my bed and never got up.

Other than that, getting 6 GCSE passes (beating my siblings) was a happy moment.

I'm hoping that my other greatest achievements are yet to come.

You have more to do with the success of your child than any other stimulus she will experience in her life.

Give yourself credit for a good child.

[Twister]

Aww, thanks. I guess you're right. Sometimes I find it hard to believe that i'm actually doing an okay job at this whole parenting thing and that a lot of it is based on pure luck

What did you do? Business I.T? Psychology?

Mine's prolly my degree too. I managed to go back as a mature student after years of hard times and numerous people (grandparents, family) telling me I wouldn't ever get a degree.

BA Honours Journalism Studies, hence the "Mickey Mouse" good-natured jibes from my friends. Slightly envious that I was fairly relaxed compared to their anxieties on dissertations etc.

How does that differ from Journalism?

It doesn't. Take the Studies out of the title and it's that pretty much. Probably included unnecessary theory in the first year which maybe was the inclusion of Studies.

Managed to pass my GCSE's having only gone to school five days my last year because of health reasons. Did very little revision and even fell asleep in one of them ... I'm not sure how this miracle occurred but I'm thankful it did. I could have gone to college if my health improved, which unfortunately it didn't and now it just seems impractical to go back to that school environment. Nevertheless, proud I managed to do this.

Also wrote a Novel which I never thought I'd be able to do. Editing and re-writing still, but getting that first draft done was a big deal for me.

If it's just the age thing holding you back, don't let it!

Going back was the best thing I ever did.

Partly the age thing. If I go back to do A-Levels, that's 2 years. Then if I want to do some University course or whatnot after that, that's a few more years on top. By the time I'm done, I'll be pushing 30. This is all assuming I go within the next year or so. And frankly my health isn't in a position where I could even manage a relaxed schedule at this point.

Also partly because I don't want to feel like I'm going backwards. I've been on pause essentially because of my health for nearly a decade already. I don't want to go to college and have the mentality "this is where I was when I was 15" you know? I'd rather try and pursue something that at least feels as though I've progressed slightly in my life.

I have thought about doing all this online, and if I could afford it, that'd be the ideal solution. Alas, I can't, so at least on paper, I'm completely hopeless.

A rather beautiful post, with that I must ask, who are you and what did you do with chewy?

That aside, I take credit for my son (well, along with my wife ) he is my greatest accomplishment
