All of us have something special that we or someone in our family has accomplished and it's time everyone gets the opportunity to brag. If I could brag about one thing, it's the fact that all three of my kids have a college degree. Considering the fact that I raised them by myself, working two jobs and they were on their own alot, I am so proud they persued their educations! Come on, let me hear you brag!

Congratulation, what you have done for is exactly my parent had done for three of us. My 2nd brother got a Double Honor Degree in Mathematics and Finance, my youngest just awarded 1st class Honor in Mass Comm and currently on scholarship for Master Degree. And for myself, I am 2nd class honor in Business Administration. That's my parent credit.

I am always bragging about what exceptional athletes my daughters are. Neither myself or my husband were much into sports. My family is more of a music family than an athletic family, so is my husband's for that matter. So I am very surprised and proud at how well they excel at sports.
My 14 year old graduated grade 8 this year with the female athletic award. She moved on to three different divisions in a Basketball Free Throw competition, and her school basketball team made it to the second level of tournament competition for the first time in years. She is a fierce competitor. She also scored a winning overtime goal in a shoot-out at a soccer tournament. She also has several medals and trophies in Taekwondo.
My younger daughter is also great at both basketball and soccer. She has scored her share of baskets and also moved to the second level in the Basketball Free Throw competition. Two years in a row her team won the championship for indoor soccer for her age level.
I would like them to take piano lessons but we can't afford to buy a piano. I think music is important too but am happy with their good grades, sense of humour, beauty and athleticism.

I am so happy I am in college right now and my daughters about to be three, and we are pregnant with a boy now. I think the only thing that could make life better, is more money for bills!

My older sister graduated high school at 16, got her Bachelor's degree at 19, all the while singing in her traveling college chorus, and she got her Master's at 21. She was working full time once she turned 18, and she didn't live at home once she left for college. I think she's awesome. I just wish she liked me more! LOL

Now THAT is something definitely to brag about! You are absolutely amazing! My kids are still young! I'm way, way behind your accomplishments! What I'm really proud of right now are their little accomplishments that they themselves are proud of too. I was so proud of my daughter's first article on their school magazine that I took pictures of it and posted it on my blog http://www.paulynramirez.com/a-mothers-love-happiness-and-pride/ But it is my ultimate dream to achieve what you have now accomplished! Congratulations to you!

Well as you all are pretty much aware by now of how proud of my sons I am, the soldier and the firefighter, I still have to add this here.
I have accomplished a lot in my life. I got my education, ran my own business,etc. etc.. But of all of the accomplishments in my life the absolute best one is raising these great boys. I am so proud of them and the really great thing is that they are proud of me to.

Hehe. Ok I will brag about the fact that I am 27 with a Bachelor's Degree and a good job making decent money. Plus, I have a boyfriend who will do anything for me...the ONE I've been waiting for. So...I thank god for all of my blessings.

I have nothing to brag except that I am proud I am one good and great person. Whatever I do is not so much for myself but for others. It is one good thing I feel about myself though many others may disagree with what I do. Many times, people tell me to think of myself first before others. I am not bragging. I have great close and bizarre buddies.
