Greatest achievement

[minimeeze]

What is your greatest achievement to date and why are you proud of it?

I have a few things I can think of that I am proud of, but my greatest achievement has to be my tandem skydive I did a few years back. I surprised myself at how calm and relaxed I was, and the feeling was so exhilarating, like floating on a huge cushion of air. Nothing has surpassed that feeling to date. I also raised money for the midwifery unit where I worked at the time, so it was a double bonus :D

Can't say Ive ever achieved a lot........but last year getting accepted into the Guild of Essex Craftsmen (http://www.thewillows12.fsnet.co.uk/) with my nature photography and being judged and given 3 "YES" cards, one from each judge... was probably my best acheivement.

I can now display my work at certain craft fairs through the year which sometimes only Guild Members are invited.

There are only about 3 other photographers in the Guild out of a total of about 200 members.


Also, having 2 healthy lanky teenage boys around the house is a bit of an achievement after having lost one baby son, and been confined to hospital for 2 months waiting for each of these two to arrive.

Did it!!!!!!!!

Well, I was on 'Watch with Mother' way back in the early '60's..
I also made a centre spread (wait for it girls.....) in Dental Weekly when I had 17 caps and crowns done at the same time (after an accident, not just for the fun of it..)
I had a front page picture in the 'Oxford Mail' when I saw a police car on fire..
I managed to get myself off drugs (see my avatar for some idea of how |I looked as a 16 year old) when many of my friends died..
And most of all, I got me 2 girls, aged 8 and 3, who seem to think I am a good dad..

I learnt to tie my own shoe laces last week, no more getting my cardy stuck to those pesky velcro straps and having to wait for 2 hours for someone to rescue me.

I saved a mans life.

Used to work as a life guard and bloke had a heart attack in the pool. Gave him mouth to mouth and cardiac massage, was just set to go with the defibrillator when luckily the men in green arrived!
Was on the radio and papers and everything... Bloke survived but never even sent me a thankyou card... (Prob coz I think I broke his ribs!!! :lol: )

I saved a man from drowning while on holiday in Majorca the other year.

Pratt jumped into the deep end of the pool thinking it was the shallow end.

Kept on thanking me throughout the holiday. Could not get rid of him!
