Amazing Accomplishments

<p>I don't know if there has already been a thread for this but anyways...post your most amazing, wonderful, awesome, spectacular accomplishment! ("hook" if it's not an accomplishment). I thought it would be fun to see what amazing things people have done on this board :).</p>

<p>I don't have anything too amazing but I like the idea of getting a list together so I'll post:</p>

<p>I've organized a handful of fundraisers, the biggest one of which was a golf tournament and silent auction. We raised over $11,000, including $2,500 cash from Taco Bell corporate. The money covered sr gift + activities & covered 1/3 of the costs of rehabilitating my sister's former orphanage in China (my family adopted). It was an exciting thing and was on the front page of the local newspaper as the only tournament run by kids at the golf course in its 18yr existence. :)</p>

<p>I composed my own classical music pieces to perform in paid concerts. Tickets were $6 for adults and $4 for children. It was also an opportunity to donate money to a charity which helped promote local elementary education in Africa. I hosted and coordinated a total of 10 concert, raising a total of $44,000.
I also worked with my assistant conductor to produce a CD recording of one of the concerts, which was sold at my philharmonic's chamber concerts.
Some of my music has been premiered by the Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra.</p>

<p>My most amazing accomplishment is full sleep of 8 hours.</p>

<p>Intel Semifinalist and 18 other science awards...</p>

<h1>5, nationwide, in the National Geographic Bee (2003)</h1>

<p>I have an essay published in a book.
Paid guest speaker at Rutgers University (will return for more engagements).
Community Organizer---3 years strong---organized rallies, protests, petition drives, developed and facilitated workshops for community members and peers.
Featured in the New York Times and in a documentry.
1.5 high school GPA.</p>

<p>You guys are so crazy! I'm really impressed :).</p>

<p>I've rolled double sixes with a pair of dice three times in a row... haha.</p>

<p>But seriously, I think hairypotty's is the most impressive of all of these.</p>

<p>Junior Olympic Gold Medalist for table tennis. :)</p>

<p>Ok, so maybe compared to all you freaks, this isn't as amazing, but my most important accomplishment was on my Science Olympiad team, where I was part of a team that came together, won regionals by 1 point, won States by a mere handful, and then placed 1st in the nation over Troy high school, which has about 4 or 5 national championships. Oh, and I medaled at Nationals. But that was nothing compared to winning the whole thing.</p>

<p>My ancestors killed Jesus...that must count for something</p>

<p>Jesus still Loves you. ^^^</p>

<p>C'mon, I know you guys got something cool!</p>

<p>three inventional patents~</p>

<p>school mascot
state FBLA champion 3 years in a row</p>

<p>JJJNET: What is FBLA?</p>

<p>I was the lead in an independent short film, which promoted child abuse awareness. I played a young girl named Judy (I look several years younger than I actually am) who is sexually abused by her stepfather (played by David Keith). The inspiration came from the producer's childhood. The film took tons of rehearsing (especially since it has graphic themes), and was shot in about 4 days. It has gone on to show at several film festivals, and also will be shown at the Prevent Child Abuse America national convention.</p>
