I do not mean the pride you may have felt at graduating, getting married, having children, children's achievements etc. I mean YOU. Whe did you feel proud of an accomplishment that you can vividly remember. For me, it was having my first short story published in a sunday Newspaper. I kept looking at my name printed in the paper and the fact that the story was good enough to be published was of immense amazement for me. I still have the original copies of the newspapers that published my stories and when I occasionaly look at them, I can still feel pride in this accomplishment. How about you? What has given you perssoanlly this feeling of pride?

I was suppose to graduate in 1988 but complications with my pregnancy caused me to quit school seeing as how my child was more important than my diploma. I spent the next ten and a half years being a housewife, then when me and my husband split I had to go to work to take care of me and my kids so there was not time to go back to school then. When I married my present husband I decided it was time to get my diploma, I did not want a GED, I wanted to get my high school diploma so I found a school I could do correspondence through the mail with and in 2003 I received my High School Diploma. Other than the births of my two children, that was the proudest moment of my life to date. Be Blessed!

This is a fantastic achievemnt because through hard work yu made your dream come true. You did this primarily for yourself and succeeded. many congratulations. Yes, much of our ppride is for our family but this is why I stressed something personal that you did. so many women make so many sacrifices for husbands/partners and then do not get a chance to finish their education. It idss a way of control by many men. what do you think? Again many congrats and have a happy thanksgiving

So many times it is a control thing for a man. My first husband did not want me doing anything outside of the home, but my present husband encouraged me through the process of getting my diploma and he is supportive of me wanting to get a college degree, which I am going to get started on after the first of the year. Be Blessed! Happy Thanksgiving!

Being a lot older than you, I have seen so many women experinece the same thing re control with me. The m,en want you to think that they love you so much that they cannot bear for asnyone to look at you etc. What they want is to know where you are! If they really loved you they would encourage you to have an interest or further your education outside of the home. They would want to uplift you and empower you to be your own person. I am proud that you are going to go further with our education. Best of luck, my friend and I am happy that you now have a husband that means you well. God Bless

Isn't it a wondeful feeling to accomplish something for us only? What kinds of things have you felt proud about? do you want to share? Thanks for your response.
