<p>Please share your greatest accomplishments with the world! For example, Intel/SIEMENS semi, Robotics World Championship eliminations, perfect SAT/ACT, Rank Top 5%, # of APs taking, Olympiad qualifications, etc. you get the gist. </p>

<p>Me:
I took Algebra II H in 3rd grade</p>

<p>Oh, yes, exactly what this website needed more of.</p>

<p>Things I’m proud of, though:

  • Tested out of trig, physics, calculus
  • Losing 50 pounds
  • Riding my bike 50 miles wearing high heels and a dress
  • Earning $1122 at McDonald’s and not spending it all on something stupid</p>
3

<p>Did the dirty.</p>

4

<p>Hmmm.
Well, I’m on the varsity drill team at our school. We’ve won the State Championship for Military/Pom for 3 years. That’s pretty cool.
Apparently we have a few world records in cupstacking at our school. That’s pretty cool, too.</p>

5

<p>i have a large swagsack</p>

6

<p>inventing the word jidiot</p>

7

<p>I think harasNN wins the thread. No point in even posting any other accomplishments.</p>

8

<p>^ definitely harasNN did something most people on this website won’t do until they’re 40. lol</p>

9

<p>Haha, while actually I said he won it for the way he phrased it, though I suppose the dirty itself is an accomplishment. </p>

<p>Something about saying “the dirty” cracks me up.</p>

10

<p>I can top harasNN:</p>

<p><em>Ahem</em> I went for the belt and got it (HIMYM reference).</p>

11

<p>Things that people say are impressive about me even though I have an inferiority complex:

  • Siemens semifinalist 2012!
  • Got the highest score on my science olympiad event out of everyone on my school’s team
  • I do my own research, and only contact professors when I’m extremely stuck
  • I have three poorly written, but completed books - novels. I might want to edit them some day.
  • I have a 2:30 800 m time in track
  • My favorite and best swimming event is the 100m butterfly.
  • I can run a 6:30 mile when I’m out of shape</p>

<p>Things I am actually proud of:
…
…
…
…
.
Yup, nothing</p>

<p>I am NOT trying to fish for compliments so please do not say “that’s wonderful” or anything cheesy or else I will virtually kill you.</p>

12

<p>Is butterfly really that hard for beginners?
I’ve often found breast stroke to be much harder.</p>

13

<p>Here I was thinking all of cc was already a gigantic show off thread.</p>

14

<p>I got an A in AP US History and thought it was easy, while everyone else is struggling for a B+
Also, I’m proud of my improvements this year. I went from a B- to an A- in English this year, an 1890 to a 2090 on my SAT, and a 161 to a 202 on my PSAT.</p>

15

<p>I…uh. I don’t know. Made a club? Contributed more in my classes?</p>

16

<p>I’m taking four AP tests this year. I was one of two students who gave the school board intel on changing the grading scale. I am starting a club to help prepare students for AP tests. Sadly, that’s it . . . for now.</p>

17

<p>This year, I got caught jumping out of a window but managed to escape punishment. So proud of myself.</p>

18

<p>all that really matters is whether or not you have a large, and i mean large, swagsack</p>

<p>nuff said</p>

19

<p>I pulled out a B in IB History this quarter when I got a C last semester.</p>

20

<p>If people have a perfect ACT/SAT as a junior already, I am jealous. </p>

<p>Although someone at my school got a perfect as a junior last year.</p>

<p>Wow, I’m already a junior. I never thought the day would come. I guess I should be getting a perfect too.</p>

<p>And I’m not.</p>

<p>Hmm. Back to studying!</p>
