    What is the proudest moment of your life?

    Mine would be when I was seven years old and I won a piano competition. I practised so hard beforehand, as much as I didn't like to do it, and I gave it my all at the competition. I forget what song I played, but I guess that doesn't matter. ^^;

    After I won, though, the local news came up to me and interviewed me. That was really cool because it was my first (and only) time on television. They just asked simple questions like how old I was, how I felt about winning, and stuff like that, but I was so happy.

    ...I never saw the broadcast, though. >.<

    So, what's your shining moment of pride? :D
     
    So far it's been finally walking across the stage at my graduation, but it will someday be replaced with the day that I get married, look at my child for the first time, and watch that same child graduate!
     
    When I get a Report Card with straight A's on it, because I'm not a straight A student. XD
    I've had a lot of proud moments actually, *hums "Memories" song*
     
    Coming 2nd in a regional trampolining tournament. It wasnt that high a position, but for my first comp i thought i did ok.
     
    Well, I'm a hopeless pathetic failure who doesn't really exceed expectation in anything and will probably live the starving artist's life and be found dead of alcohol overdose in a gutter about twenty years down the road.

    ...But I DID make mashed potatoes that taste good and I DID get in the top ten percentile on the National Latin Exam. And I WILL get out of West Virginia and hopefully into a good art school. >:D
     
    In Year 4, my school had arranged for selected students to visit a ceremony in London where the Queen was attending as well. Ten students in my class were selected to go on this trip, myself included. We had a lot of paparazzi shots and I actually shook the hand of royalty for the first time in my life. I felt really proud at the time, thinking back to it now gives me butterflies in my stomach.
     
    The day I got my black belt, by far the proudest moment of my life. Sure, I was bloody and sore when it was all over, but none of that mattered. All that did was that I had worked for three years for it, and I got it.

    Ooh I did that, that comes equal with my trampolining one :D
     
    Um. Honestly, I don't think I have one XD;

    I'm not a very successful person, but I guess what I got a promotion at work was pretty cool. I'm not a bagger anymore, I'm a cashier.
    (b' ')b
     
    I'm a humble person, so don't feel much if any pride regardless of my achievements and the like. Having someone to love and who loves me back is probably the biggest and only thing for me, though for me that is more a thing of gratefulness than pride.
     
    I really don't know. For me, anything below a certain standard is not even worth a good moment of pride; for example I was upset when I got all A's and two B's on my report card last week. Good grades are just something that is expected. Instrumental wise, I guess getting six trillion solo's for stuff and being advanced for my age group. But that was expected of me as well, so I don't really see it as something to be proud of. Sports are the same as the other two.

    Snap, I really don't know. I suppose it would be winning a writing contest or making a flawless persuasive speech in English class a couple weeks ago. As I said, I expect things, and yeah. s:
     
    I would say my most recent proud moment was on the 13th of this month when I graded to Green Belt in Karate, but that's easily gonna be replaced when I finally become a Karate teacher and when I get my Black belt.
     
    Graduating high school third in my class, I suppose. Even though my class was small (120 kids), it's still amazing I placed so high. I graduated with a 4.05 weighted (I'd guess probably between 3.8-3.9 unweighted?), which I like. I was aiming for above 4.0. :D

    ...of course, since high school's so easy, that just means I did my homework and did okay on tests. I have a 3.2 in college right now. D: *sighs*
     
    I guess I haven't had a happy moment in my life. Or was it when the girl I liked looked back at me? 0_o. Probably the day when I scored 5 goals at a football match in my school. I got all the credit for the match win.
     
    My shining moment of pride? That would probably be the time where i stood up to these tough guys... in front of the whole school.

    Ahaha. One of the best posts of all time.

    Me? I don't know. Asking me to pick out something like that above everything else is one Hell of a challenge. Let's just say it was when I joined The PokèCommunity. Ahaha.
     
    When I won $5000 at a Young Author's competition. They payed for my flight and hotel, and I got to fly to Seattle first class :3
