I am curious to know what your favorite moment, or your biggest accomplishment in your life is. Was it winning a school spelling bee? A special vacation? Finding some money on the ground? Feel free to brag as much as you like. After all, this is your moment! Mine: I was always a natural soccer player (American Soccer/Footie), but I never really enjoyed playing so I took 8 seasons off and figured I would probably never play again. Well, I decided to play again, because it was my last year of eligibility to play. I tried out and ended up making the Gold Team (Gold was the prestige team, Silver was next, than Bronze, and then House and Midget were the lowest ranks). It was a very big deal to be a "Gold" player, where I came from. It was where all serious soccer players enspired to be. A lot of people were actually annoyed with me because I made the team after 8 years of not even touching a soccer ball, while they had played their whole lives. Either way, our team had a very successful season and were off to a great start in the Playoffs. In order though, to make the Championship game, we had to either tie or defeat our last opponent. Very, very early in the game, we fell behind 2-0 and were playing absolutely terrible. We were flat out playing awful. Late in the game, I took a shot which hit the post and went in the net, bringing the score to 2-1. My team starting cheering, but I said "C'Mon guys, this will be our last game if we don't tie this game up, some cheering and start playing". Immediately after, I stole the ball from one of their players and took another shot, which also hit the same post and went into the net, tying the game up at 2. I managed to score two goals in less than one minute. Which I thought to myself, "this can't get any better". We managed to hang on to the tie and because we tied, we were off to the Championship. In the Championship game, just minutes into the game, my teammate Jeremy gave me a fanastic pass and I headbutted the ball into the net, giving our team the 1-0 lead. Eventually the other team tied the game up at 1, and it remained tied until very late in the game. Before you knew it, the referee yelled out loud "Three minutes remaining in the game", just seconds after, I stole the ball from one of their defenders...got around another defender and scored, putting our team up 2-1. We went on to win the Championship by that same 2-1 score. Because I scored all 4 of our goals in the final two games, I was named M.V.P. for the season. That was my favorite moment of all time and the thrill of that tournament will remain with me for the rest of my life. What is your favorite moment. Be as descriptive as you can. I want to feel the thrill to. Feel free to brag as much as you'd like. This is your moment. Re-live it!

My biggest accomplishment was going to the Shapporo Japan. I went to a conference for disabled people an active as a delegate from the north east the schedule was very grueling. We got up every morning at 6 am and went to bed at midnight.Plus all the jet lag, when i got home i slept for two days only getting up to shove food in my face and use the bathroom.
