---I have been working hard to pass a class in graduate school. It's been a super tough semester, and I thought my grades were going to be low enough to the point that I would be dismissed from the program - but I managed to work my butt off! I still am going to most likely be put on academic probation because I am not above the 3.0 mark, but at the very least I did squeak a B- in the class I was worried about and I shouldn't have to worry about it again! I am super proud that I was able to complete the class and I feel that I will be able to overcome any more adversity and pick my grades back up for the next couple of years in the program.

Positivity: I’m honestly really proud that I began Rise. I am working and improving my writing and art so much. Especially my art. I used to not be very good but now I feel like I can complete DCAY’s and people aren’t as disappointed!

I’ve recently got a job. So now I work full time and go to school full time. I’m really proud of that because I’m about to graduate and I can afford the things I need!

Positivity: I started my first job (sort of). The store has a lack of front end employees and I had to be cashier for a week which I'm proud of myself for being able to do - I have anxiety and I actually managed to do cash. Anything I do now in my actual job is going to be slow and easy.

Positivity: I finally finished personal finance!! One of the most aggravating classes I have ever taken, it was a roller coaster start to finish. I passed my final today with an 87% despite averaging the tests at 70% and I am just so relieved that it's finally over.

I'm really proud of coming back to Rise after nearly a month. I didn't truly have any ideas for my clan or my founder, so I just left it. But, I finally went back to it a day or so ago, and I'm pretty happy with what I've come up with so far! I'm really excited to develop my clan and its traditions more! :3

adding on to this to say that i finally bit the bullet and got my crush's number yesterday, so I'm pretty proud of myself for that! now to actually text her fhskshd

Honestly, this is the perfect time to have one of these (for me at least) because there's actually a lot of stuff I'm proud about!

The biggest right now is that I got my first job about two weeks ago. I had applied a few places before and not gotten the job and honestly, I didn't think I could stand much more rejection. But I applied for it anyway and got the job! It's honestly super crazy and it's been tough to learn everything but I'm starting to get the hang of it. It's a huge step for me in terms of becoming a "real" adult and I'm really proud of it! I've been stressed out for months about needing to get a job and it feels great to finally have one.

Something else is my recent creative "achievements". I haven't written or drawn anything in years, partially due to school and also because I'm not a great artist. I'm a perfectionist and have a vivid imagination and it's tough to draw something when it isn't anywhere near what I want it to look like. However, since joining the Rise community I've actually written a ton about my clan and made two art pieces so far! I'm really excited about all this and really hope I can improve my art and writing. Also, I haven't read a book for pleasure in years (big oof) and I'm halfway through The Apprentice's Quest right now! I used to read pretty much a book a week when I was younger but a mixture of school and access to iPads/phones/computers pretty much destroyed my motivation to read. I really hope I can keep reading!

Another thing I'm proud of is my overall maturity. I moved away from my hometown in September with my husband and honestly it's been tough keeping a house since we're both pretty much kids... But every day I'm getting better about cleaning up, cooking, doing dishes, etc. It's really cool looking back at what I was like even six months ago and I'm really excited to be growing up!

Also, idk if anyone will read to the bottom of this, but reading through everyone's forms so far is really inspiring! Everyone is doing their best and I'm so proud of everyone!! <3
