10 things I'm most proud of myself for

Tags: 
  • Lasting a week without talking to anybody

  • Losing 10 pounds in a month

  • Volunteering for an anti-child abuse organization

  • Writing a published short story

  • Finishing a 12.5 km (7.75 mi) marathon/hike

  • Completing a working model of the Mars rover

  • Learning to drive a stick-shift

  • Owning a dog for 12 years

  • Remaining calm while being kept hostage

  • Twenty-one years of not smoking, drinking, or doing drugs

That first one is pretty impressive. Did you just spend the whole week at home by yourself, or did you actually go out in public and still avoid saying anything?

Thanks. I actually had to go out of the house and do some chores (grocery shopping, etc) unassisted. It was part of a 'challenge' that I took to see if I can live like a mute. Although I really wouldn't suggest trying it out yourself. It can get really lonely.
