And being in love with him! 
I sang as part of a larger group at the Queens golden jubilee a few years back, it was an awesome day, i'd say that is my greatest.
The one of most personal worht though is getting my black belt 1st dan, i sweated blood for 6 years for that an the final test about knocked me out so wheni passed i was so elated. it was kind of like a placebo, a big, dehydration based placebo.

I once saved a little girl from drowning.Valkaris said:
I was in the pool, at a backyard BBQ. I was the only person still in, and was about to get out, when I saw the neighbor's visiting friend's very young daughter at the top of the ladder to the pool. I knew what she was going to do, and I told her not to, but of course, she did it anyway. She jumped into the pool. We're talking a little girl, probably 2-4 years old here; she couldn't swim. She started to sink, but not being a complete idiot I was already grabbing her, and holding her up, at the surface, while calling for help. Since it took a good half an hour for anyone to hear me yelling at the top of my lungs for help, and to render assistance, they're all really lucky she lived, because they wouldn't have heard her splashing about, and drowning, if I wasn't in there.
So yeah, that's what I hold highest thus far. I mean, I'm only 15. Hell, back then I was 13, and weak sauce; but I still reacted quick enough, and was able to hold her up good enough, for her to not even get her face wet.
Yeah, I'm a good person. Also not the bragging type. But this is the one thing I could not help but tell everyone I knew, all one person, and now the Escapist.
Interesting. You used conditionally in a different context than I did, but I get what you're saying.FargoDog said:
I have a feeling my greatest achievement won't come until I am older. I have got atleast a dozen people into system of a down though and that's pretty good.
My greatest achievement is that I'm me, despite everything. The odds of me being the person I am today are quite low, given the sheer range of possible choice in life. Even a minor action could have changed many things in my existence - despite all this I have managed to successfully become a person I believe is fundamentally good, with aspirations of improving on this as circumstance permit.
Getting my degree. That's the best thin I've done, and could be the high point of my life. I have a feeling it may be all downhill from here.
Wow. You have way more time than I do. I tip my hat to you, sir. Well done.Lazarus Long said:
OT:
I've traveled to a country very different from my own, and have dedicated myself to the language.
And I have loved. Very few can say that.
Well I've got two. One was learning the guitar. Not really good at playing but I thought I'd never get it. And two, more game related, was getting all 494 pokemon in my pokedex. You have no idea the pride I took in that. Sadly, I haven't been able to get very many achievements in my life yet.
Actually trying to think up a noteworthy accomplishment from my life has made me realize how much of an underachiever I am.
I guess winning that race against the other sperm?

That was pretty cool. I liked how you showed your (or whoever the boy was) age difference.Oatmeel said:
I haven't really done much... or anything, really. I mean, I have few friends, but I am only close to my sister, so I haven't done anything special as far as relationships go. I get good grades for the amount of work I actually do (Hint: It's no work at all), but compared to other students, my marks are terrible, so I haven't excelled academically either.
I think my greatest achievement might lie within one of the depressing poems I have left written on the board in my English class. I've never recieved any feedback on them (And, god, I don't want to), but I've put more of myself into them then anything else I've done.
Yes, yes, I know, emo poetry, stereotype etc. But what else can I do? I can't draw, and I find writing in prose difficult without a criteria. Or a deadline, for that matter.
I hit a third grader in the head with a softball a couple years ago. That was pretty cool.
Just in case anyone wants to know what happened. Every year the P.E. classes at my old high school has a Softball tournament in each period, and I just so happen to be able to hit softballs really really hard. We played on the football field and the elementary students would come walk the track. So I hit a massive foul ball and drilled one of the little kids in the head he went down and both the games stopped to laugh at the kid's misfortune.
