Okay, so I did a search and found other more specific topics.


So are there any moments in your life where you've felt so proud of yourself for something? An achievement? A decision? Anything.


I'll begin by saying what I'm proud of.
Every year my family goes camping with my mother's side of the family to a camp on the largest lake in Maine, Moosehead Lake. This happened two years ago. Well, for the past few years me & my cousin (who's 2 years older than me) have been growing apart. Her name is Rebecca. She got a boyfriend and was constantly talking about him and I noticed that she seemed a little..."naughtier", shall I say?
But I was glad overall to see my cousin and agreed to sleep in her huge tent with her & her mother's boyfriend's son, Travis. Hey, it was an excuse to get out of my family's camper. (I hate sleeping in places with a lot of people.)
Well, I was getting tired and laid down for a bit when I heard a "click". I sat up and looked over at Travis and Becca. They were each holding a Smirnoff. Becca and Travis were both 16-17 and far from the drinking age. It felt so wrong.
Becca turned to me and asked me if I wanted one. They apparently had brought an extra. I declined. Becca asked me again, "Kels, are you sure? They're the best!" I wouldn't give in. All those DARE classes really worked on me. "No, Becca."
I rolled over in bed, facing the side of the tent, disappointed in the both of them, but more about Becca.
I guess, looking back at this, I'm really proud of myself for saying no even though I was tempted to do something to make me and my cousin closer again.

Anyone else out there have a story?
