What’s something you’ve done that your past self would be proud of?

What is something you have done that your past self would be proud of?  Honestly the first thing that I did was graduated from grade school in 1979.  I graduated from grade school by earning good grades while I was in the 7th and 8th grades at the Franklin School and Edison Elementary School located in Dayton Ohio.   However I did graduated from high school at Paul Laurence Dunbar High School on Tuesday June 10th 1986.  Even though I graduated from high school 3 years late simply because I was a juvenile delinquent and I was constantly getting into trouble from 1979 through 1986.  My mother did sign me up for the Job Corp Center in Grand Rapids Michigan and I was only there for less than 6 months.  Even though I didn’t graduate from Job Corp but my mother sent me away just to teach me a lesson simply because I was constantly getting into trouble and hanging around the wrong people during the 1980s. My grandparents sent me to their house during my last two years of high-school because my grandparents told me in my face that if I would have stayed with my mother I would have ended up going to prison or ended up dead.  My grandparents always stayed on me because they always knew that I was better than my brothers and sisters.   I literally did stayed with my grandparents until I graduated from high school and I got my first apartment located at the YMCA in downtown Dayton Ohio on September 30, 1986.  My grandparents were very happy for me because I had learned how to be responsible for myself and get a decent job working in the community 👏.  I know that I might have made mistakes along the way but God and Jesus Christ as well as my family members were always there to pick me up off of the ground of despair and depression.  My other accomplishments that I am very proud of is graduating from college at the University of Toledo located in Toledo Ohio on Saturday June 12, 1993 and again on Saturday June 17 1995.  I graduated with my Associates and Bachelors degrees respectively.  I also earned my Social Worker License from the State of Ohio Counselor and Social Work Board in Columbus Ohio from September 21 1993 until September 21 2010. I also got baptized on Sunday morning February 15 2015 at the Fort McKinley United Methodist Church in Dayton Ohio.  I have accomplished a lot within a 30 year period.  I also wrote and published three books as well as written over 10,000 blogs and essays from April 9 2009 until now.  My family members and friends worldwide are very proud of me.  I am very proud of myself for completing my goals and achieving success in my life.  I have been clean and sober from alcohol and other drugs since Wednesday Evening May 2, 1990.  I have not taken a drink of alcohol and smoking marijuana throughout that time.   I am very proud of myself for achieving my personal goals 🙌.  Lord God and Jesus Christ thank you for allowing me to achieve all of my goals and definitely staying out of trouble.  Thank you for allowing me to answer this question to the best of my ability.  In Jesus name Amen and Amen 🙏. Thank you God and Jesus Christ for everything 🙏.
