I am proud of the fact that I have made it this far, I've overcome a lot of obstacles in my life, some of them I brought on myself and others were just a part of life. I've been molested as a child, raped as a young lady and a woman, in an abusive relationship (he tried to kill me on several occasions), I have given birth to two premature children and they are as healthy as can be today, I was a single mother on welfare and living in the projects and I made my way out of it. I got on welfare because with my second child, I was high risk and couldn't work and her father had been long gone. I worked full-time while attending college full time and I also did hair on the side to make ends meet.
I am proud that I am no longer the girl that I once was. I've been through it all. I've been a drug dealer, damn near a prostitute, I was a weekend alcoholic, I know I don't need to go on, you can see were i'm going. But now, years later, I've gotten my life back on track and I haven't felt better.
It is very hard to go through some of the things that me and a number of young women have gone through and to be were I/we are today is truly a blessing.
To all the other women who haven't walked down a similar path and made it through, I want you to know that I am proud of you and so are the others:)

Still being alive!
Life is hard and I think everyone experiences times of wanting to just give up, I know I have. The important part is to keep trying. If we give up then we will never know how it could have turned out.
As far as other accomplishments... Mine are ongoing. I've raised two children am still raising a 9yo and help raise my 16yo who lives with his father. My baby is due anytime now so I still have 18 more years to go.
Other ongoing accomplishments are attending college. Wasn't easy going back at 38 years old with children still at home. I still have several years to go.
There are others but I still think the most important one is staying alive.

With todays divorced families, I'm most proud of raiseing all 4 of my children alone, and they ALL graduated High School.
I've seen many 2 parent families with even less children, and their kids don't finish school.
I'm proud of them and myself.
It makes me swell with JOY when we all get together and they still have hugs and kisses for me even if their friends are all sitting around! ( Well, even their friends hug me too). :-)

That even after having lost love I've found it again and never gave up.
