I bowled a 99
I don't know if this is my greatest accomplishment but I'm proud of it.
I'm a HS teacher and XC coach. I had a student last year who was a smart kid but from a lousy home and didn't apply himself. Acted like he didn't care, dyed hair, too many piercings, the works.
One day I went ballistic. Just up one side and down the other about how he wastes his life and has the potential.
I bucked the norm of treating him with kid gloves and ripped him to shreds.
Another teacher told him I did that because I cared.
He started working in school, got his grades up and this year, joined my XC team.
I don't think he'll ever be very good but I don't care. I hope I made a difference in his life.
You should never coddle or patronize kids, that's the problem with todays "soft" society. Not enough discipline. Good job.
It has been 5 years since I last picked my right nostril.
Thanks for being so hard on me, teach. My family isn't well-to-do, as you know (we only have four cars and six flatscreen TVs :( However, you showed me what I could become. I'm sure I'll get into marijuana soon, which will destroy my life. But, hey: you only live once!

Grafting a horn onto the head of a white stallion, injecting it with equine growth hormone and a large does of 'roids, breeding it before the testes shrank and creating a super-race of huge, rageful unicorns that I keep in my compound up north. You'll find out where as soon as I can get the wings to scale and, of course, solve the fire-breath self-immolation issue.
Had a drop-dead goregeous black girl let me do her bareback in the rear. Best 15 seconds of my life.
Getting arrested. It made the front page of the NYTimes. Other than that, making the USATF Standard of Excellence in the 200, Masters Track.
Disgusting.

also, i've been on reality TV; starred in a major band's music video, sung on stage with another major band (since I kinda know the lead singer), and I can surf over-head sized waves. and i'm a college coach.
I'm happy for you (seriously) but the thread is asking for your greatest accomplishment, not your entire resume. You must be generation Y to have such high self esteem. Hahaha.

I learned proper grammar, spelling and punctuation. I did not think it was a big deal until I started looking at LetsRun. Now I realize just how rare I am. Thanks, BROJOS!
In 2009 I graduated college a clueless liberal arts major. I searched for a job for 6 months but had no luck. Loan payments were due and i was broke. On a whim my best friend Steve and I decided to drive out to North Dakota. We slept in my little civic at night and during the day drove oil company to oil company begging for jobs. Eventually we were hired as roustabouts. The pay was great but it was absolutely brutal work. Steve quit after half a year and drove back to iowa. I stayed and somehow was promoted only 8 months in when our foreman blew out his eardrums. That second year I worked an average of 70 hour weeks. I also brought in $118,000. In April i quit, returned home, paid off my loans, bought a small piece of land, and built an exact full size replica hobbit house, (right down to the small scratch on the front door.) I finished it last month and now have no idea what to do with the rest of my life. So not really a singular accomplishment, but some unique experiences none the less. Oh, and I have ran with the bulls and drank with bob uecker.
You'll always be a dissapointment to your grandmother and I Little Mikey!
You slept your way to the top Mike. All the other roustabouts knew it too, you dirty little who/re.
"small scratch on the front door"
haha i like it but I thought Gandalf rubbed it out? (no pun intended)
I've always wanted to build an underground hobbit style home but local building code forbids it due to the floodplain. Its too bad, theyre environmentally sound and require very little energy to heat or cool down.
Got jumped on the street at 1 am by two guys. Beat them both badly, held them down on the street stripped them of their shoes and shirts. Threw those things down a sewer drain and watched them walk down the street without their clothes.
