52 Lists
Week Three// List the Things You Should be Proud Of
I'm going to start by saying that I find this to be a really hard list to make. I appreciate that it says the word "should". I believe that there are probably a lot of things that I should be proud of but I find it really challenging to say those things out loud. I find it even more challenging to not accompanying every single item on this list with a caveat or explanation. Here goes my attempt to admit the things that I should be proud of without explanation, excuses, embarrassment, or caveats.
- Attending and finishing Dartmouth in 4 years
- Asking the question "how are you" and standing still long enough to hear the answer
- Helping a friend when they need it
- Working with SLTP and making a difference in the lives of students
- Not settling or lowering my expectations
- Practicing kindness, especially when it is hard
- Writing thank you notes
- Getting out of debt and rebuilding my credit
- Taking control of my health and exercising and eating better
- Losing 80 pounds last year
- Believing in Santa Claus
- Building the FYSEP program and seeing its impact on students
- Finding my career in student affairs and excelling at it
- Being able to synthesize ideas
- Helping my family
- Moving away from home
- Making it through some terrible situations without losing hope
- Putting people before product
