Currently its the fact that 2 of my difficult boys at work are turning it around and doing brilliantly!
One of them is in Year 10 and has been working his socks off in Science and has gone from scraping a D to hitting an A* in his controlled assessment and has been moved up a set in his English!
The Year 9 boy who's been having it very tough has just shown me his report with pride for the first time in months!
Seriously very proud! |

I can empathise with that, I am very proud of my kids' achievements, too. And I mean not just academic but how they grew into very grounded and down to earth young adults who have a lot of empathy for other people. |

Yes same for me they don't have their dad as he passed away and they are very polite and ive never had any trouble from them...the most was one of them had to get interviewed after a fight but it turned out the other boy hit him first and was picking on his brother...that's the worst that has happened. |

Apart from bringing up the kids.
I think saving life of grandson after he stopoed breathing is up there. Along with saving life of woman who took overdose at a place i worked the other first aider was useless was left alone to deal with it. Another was when a lady on bicycle was hit by car. Thankfully all ended well.
Finally doing my first london marathon. |

Makes all the work you put in worthwhile and makes up for all the days that were rubbish. I'm sure the boys will look back in years to come and remember those achievements too.
Well done |

Raising our two sons to be good young men. Both have graduated from university in their chosen fields and both are confident enough to start making their own way in life.
If I leave this world tonight, I'll do so a happy and contented man  |

Despite having bipolar, with the help of my mother i managed to bring my son up to be a well grounded, sensitive, polite social young man and although he wasnt academic hes in a job that many couldnt do working full time with alzhimers patients and loves it.
Also im proud that i turned my life around from being a complete nightmare of a person to quite a nice person |

For me it's the enormous pride I have in my late father, I know it's probably not what the thread was aimed at...
Finding out the truth of how and why my father was mortally wounded in action way back in the early Seventies, despite the government of the day and the MOD brushing things under the carpet, has been an enlightening experience for my family and brought an enormous sense of pride for us.
It has brought my family into contact with the colleagues of my late father and it's only a shame that Mum died before the truth was fully discovered and admitted to.

It really does not matter what the thread is about or not - and your post feels it belongs here anyway. I am really quite struck by the enormity of what you have just said and the pride you feel is well justified in my world. |

I'm proud of my 3 children and the way they have dealt with challenges in their lives ,and mine, and how they have turned out,
I'm also proud of myself that I started studying in my 30's and became a nurse and then took further study to get a specialist practice degree..the bummer being that my health stopped me using it for long. I'll never regret doing it though. |

I am immensely proud of myself for walking away from a relationship I knew was toxic yet he was the love of my life. He had manipulated me for 5 years and had done a substantial amount of damage to my self esteem. But I found the courage to walk away, breaking my heart in the process. It has been a journey well worth taking and I am clear and free...and blossoming... |

The hardest part was knowing it was the only option.... |

In 1990 me and my two children were homeless.
Today, after three years at uni, I'm doing a job I love that pays well, one child graduated with a 2:1 and is now undertaking a political career and the other is working for a bank, has three very nice and well bought up children and is an excellent mum. |

I recently got my son on stage during a gig and he played Highway To Hell with us. It was an incredibly proud moment in my life, even if it was just a small pub gig. |

Arse End of the Universe, Cumbria |
In 2007 after I hit 40 I decided I wanted to combine doing something for charity with doing something for myself so I signed up to trek the Inca Trail for the Blue Cross animal charity...I committed to raising almost £3000 to cover my costs and a donation to the charity - in May 2009 I spent 4 days walking the trail with 28 strangers having raised over £4000 in 18 months (about £2300 went direct to the charity and between the entire group we raised approximately £75k). Looking down from the Sun Gate onto Machu Picchu was one of the most proud and emotional times of my life. When I got home, I signed up for another trek to Angkor Wat in Cambodia, this time for our local branch of the RSPCA - unfortunately due to my arthritis I had to cancel it, but by the time I cancelled I'd still raised just over £2k for them - still hoping to go to Cambodia someday |
