What is your best acheivement?

Answer 1

Since I'm 65 I have many. When I was 16 I saved a 6 year old boy's life from drowning down at English Bay in Vancouver, B.C. When I was in my 20s and living up North I owned a R & T Dodge with a 440 and made over $8000 drag racing (against men!) I used the same car to go on a 1200 mile race and came in 3rd (all men.) In my 20s I crashed through the "Men's World" in business and made friends with them at the same time. Am I a women's libber? To a point, but I enjoy being a woman. I was young, full of myself and had a blast. In my 30s I pulled a teen out of car that had been in an accident minutes before it caught fire. I give respect and expect it back and if not I kick the person to the curb so I save my energy for those that need me. I've learned to apologize and truly mean it when I say "I'm sorry" if I've made a mistake. I have many friends and feel blessed and I like myself because I know I will always stick with friends and family 100%. I'm loyal and honest and I worked hard to get that way. LOL I am a Christian and believe in it with all my heart. I lost twin sons at 3 days old; beat cancer back in the 1960s, and also beat the dreaded disease of panic attacks and Agoraphobia. I'm resilient and had one bad marriage and a messy divorce and bounced right back out in the world to better myself and I am married to a wonderful man now and we will have been married 35 years. Although we couldn't have children I am blessed with 3 nephews, 1 niece and 2 Goddaughters all of which I spent a great deal of quality of time with them when they were younger and have fond memories. I saw not only my own parents through illness, but my husbands and never faltered until they passed away. I work my butt off, help out my husband and friends, and volunteer at the Abused Women's Center as well as Pet Network for the Prevention of Cruelty for animals. I give my time and some money to Children's Hosp. I walk through life very sure-footed and balanced, but also love to poke fun at myself if it means I can get a smile out of someone I like who isn't feeling so great or is depressed. I love to help people in general and fight like a Pit Bull for the under-dog. My government knows my full name and where I live! LOL Doctors sit up and take notice if I'm their patient because I want answers and no-nonsense attitude when dealing with my health or that of my husbands. I'm a Baracuda when it comes to business. Be nice to me and we can make a deal or come to an agreement, shaft me, and hell hath no fury like a woman! If the above makes me sound arrogant then I guess I am. If you think I'm an angel I'm NOT! If you think no one could be this perfect your right! I had to learn all those things from taking different roads in my life and learning to listen and communicate from people much wiser than myself and I have a great thirst for knowledge. It keeps you alive!
