Pulling a Family of 4 from a burning car, and they still send an xmas card every year this was 1981.
Over coming my dyslexia and thanking my Sargent who reconsidered this. Losds of other things I did for myself but these pail to insignificance if you cannot do something for someone else. Of course I realise this was a personal thread but a greater person than me said. it's not what you can do for yourself it's what do for someone else that matters.

Mine would be joining the police force at a time when recrutiment was frozen and they were only hand selecting the top 10% of applicants, I did all that with a 3 year old and a 5 month old baby very proud of myself.
( I have since left but its still the biggest achievement of my life) Others include going back to college recently whilst working full time and gaining my level 4 in business administartion i nearly gave up so many times but I didn't. Buying my first home at age 18

I left school with only a few CSE's and according to my careers teacher would only end up on a building site or in the slipper factories of which there were an abundance!
Move swiftly on I enrolled on a YTS at an Information Technology Center (Itec) where I gained qualifications in Electronics and Computer Programming. I was the only YTS they ever employed full time and 2 years later I was providing talks at a local careers fair that my old careers teacher was at. My boss explained to him that I was one of the best students he had ever had and that my ambition just needed a prod in the right direction. One in the eye for the careers teacher. I,m now a National Contracts Manager in a Tech Based Firm. Also helping my DW through a very difficult pregnancy with DD who had the real prospect of Hydrocephalus. Luckily she was born perfect and growing into a well mannered, gorgeous young lady. Marrying my soul mate and having the above DD and DS who is about to go have his Uni Interview for an independent film making degree.
