Meaningless accomplishments... that mean something to ourselves.

I was 5 years old and managed to make it around the skating rink one complete turn without falling. Of course I was holding on to the rail, but it was a big accomplishment for me.

Oh yes, too many to count. I have nothing as exciting as you story. WhenI turned ten, on my actual tenth birthday, I had a soccer game. I just so happen to be on the sorriest, suckiest team in our age bracket. (Soccer wsan't as big then as it is now). I was the only experienced one on the team having 5 years under my belt. Anyways, We were down6-0 and I was defense coming up to the halfway line on the rare moment thatour team got up to the other defenseive line. When I saw the ball coming my way I trapped it, lined it up and heard someone yell take a shot. I did and I scored from the halfway line. THE|HALFWAY LINE!! Of course nobody cared because when you lose 8-1 that 1 is nothing next eight. even if it is a rare unheard of (at that time) 10 year old playing a full field scoring from out that far. I was never able to recreate it or duplicate. But it is an accomplishment I can hold onto, as hey 1 out of 6 kids in my family born and raised on soccer, can only do.
