Well am am so proud of my daughter,i have not told her yet,but i will.My daughter is 16 and her boyfriend is nearly 20,she dumped him a few weeks ago as he kept smoking drugs.This upset him so much as he thought she would not dump him all because of him taking drugs.She gave him the altermatum and he had a week to think about it.He has chosen her over his habit and she has been there for him all the time and it has now been 3 weeks he has not had any drugs.Are you proud of someone?

I'm proud of my family right now. I hope to keep it that way until my last day on Earth. My children are still young and they already give us so many joy and happiness. Nice grades, with honors. My wife is great too with her carrier booming and we rarely had a big fights. Small fights over some very small things are part of marriage and love to have to every now and then. It adds spices to the relationship.

I am proud of this one friend I had when i was in college. He was not the typical good student at school, actually he is the happy go lucky type. He cheats during examination, and sometimes he was late attending classes, but he survived college and have a degree. When I learned about from a collegue, he has now a condominium which he owns and a own business and he is working in a real estate. He have 7 cars and one house and lot. He already have a family. I am very proud and very happy for him of what he had attained. He seems don't have a dream before but now watch out how he grow. and He grew big.

Wow, it is surprising to hear that he has chosen her over the habit. Sounds like it was not only good that she stood up to him, but you can be proud of him for accepting her ultimatum. I was recently proud of my niece. Back in the summer, her parents were fearing that she wouldn't be able to go to college. And even if she could get the money to go, she wouldn't be able to find housing. Well, she did all of the paperwork herself. She stepped up to plate and found all the paperwork needed. We were all so proud of her. And, I think my sister was being a little negative at first, in thinking she did not know how she was going to be able to go. So, I was kind of sad because I thought it would be really neat to see her be able to go. And then when she stepped up and did all of the paperwork and found all of the documentation and grants on her own, we were all so proud.

I am proud of my nephew and his accomplishments in college. This is his second year of college and he is doing quite well. He is President of the Political Science club and Treasurer of his fraternity. He pledged his first year of college while keeping up his grades. He is also vice president of his mock trail team at school. I can say he is quite active during his college experience and yes I am a proud Aunt as well as the rest of the family.

It is great to hear that the boy gave the bad habit for loving her.This can be a convincing sign that how he loves her.I have always been proud of my grandmother who raised two sons totally by herself during the war time and stood at the same time my grandfather's betrayal.She has been so resolute and perseverant.And when I was born she became a babysitter of me.I am proud of her.She showers her love to everyone in my family unconditionlly.love my grandma!

I am proud of my son. He has been struggling in school for three years. He was even held back last year. Now he is making A's and B's and is really giving it his all. I am also proud of my grandmother a recent leg amputee at age 90, despite having one leg and being at her age still does everything for herself. She doesn't give up.

I am proud of my daughter too. She does not waste a single minute. She goes for work, takes care of her married life and house, does crystal beeds business by making it herself, goes for music class, Tanjore painting class, Art of living class, does breathing exercises at home, keeps in touch with parents by visiting us and meeting me and taking me to movies and malls, keep in touch with everyone over phone, does charcoal painting, embroidery, invites friends for lunch and dinner. I just wonder whether God has given her alone 48 hours per day. God bless her with good health and energy.
