i have had three beautiful children, and been a full time carer for my husband who had severe heart failure. He had a heart transplant last year and now i am training to become a nurse. Life hasn't been easy at all until last year and even then we are still having set backs and his health is slowly getting worse, he has developed new conditions and every hospital visit reveals something new. I love my husband and my children so much and i am so scared for what the future will bring as i am only 25 my husband is 30 and i hope and pray every night that life will never be as bad as what it was before the transplant. But i would do it all again and i hope that by becoming a nurse i can help people who need it. I have needed help in the past and they were there for us and i feel like i should repay the debt.
I know i haven't done anything major with my life and at times i regret this but i feel in my own way that my life has not been wasted because i am here and i have cared for my husband and my kids when it was so so hard. I don't regret one single minute of it as i know one day i will look back and wish i could relive it all again when my family was complete.

I consider a lot of what I have done worth while, even the mistakes were worth it because they become the most valuable lessons in my life
The most worth while thing I have done must be take the time to stop time and think-when I stop time and think I can look into time and see what isn't apparent to the eye-really, it's study isn't it? I study everything, from what I see to what I hear to what I read and only then do I come a conclusion, and it will be my own and not what others have either tried to convince me, teach me or want me to believe-I believe in myself-so lots of things well worth doing

I spent five years teaching conflict resolution to every fourth grader in the Indianapolis Public School System. The program I was involved with took a school of fourth graders each day and taught them non-violent was to solve their problems. Every day they ended with my portion of the program where actors (at first I was one of them, but later I became the director of the show)acted out problems the kids might encounter and had them solve them using the skills they had learned.
I've never been financially well off and the program was very time consuming and didn't pay well, but whenever I feel down about my station in life I look back and it kind of boggles my mind how many kids lives I touched. If even one percent got something out of it, I can say my life was never wasted.
I would run into random kids on the street (in the 12th largest city in the U.S.) and they would stop me and tell me how they used the skills they learned to stay out of trouble or help other kids. The look of accomplishment in their eyes actually made me tear up a couple of times. It made me feel like there was hope.
My position was eleminated because the Bush administration decided the program cost too much. No child left behind indeed.

I have to agree with Tony q saving some ones life. Dont want to say to much as its a work in progress but surfice to say some one is behind bars. And a life saved and given freedom from their long term tormentors. Knowing that you were the result of that gives you a feeling of joy like you have never expericenced.

The most worth while thing would be buying my new PC so I can answer this question!
Most meaningful is my little boy (3) and my next little boy (due Dec 7th)

Went to a university near home so I could stay at home with my dad. If i hadn't, we may not be as close as we are, and I certainly would not have met my fiancee if I'd have gone to live away at uni. And i wouldn't have been able to visit my house bound nan every week.

Faced my fear and looked at the world how it is rather than how i wished it to be - I am still having wall to wall panic attacks but the clarity was worth it.
