At the age of 20

I have:

-Graduated through high school
-Been to 13 states (this only included actual stays in states not drive throughs or Airport stops)
-Been to Spain
-Recorded a CD
-Been a Pescetarian for 13 years
-Been in numerous plays and musicals
-Helped create an acting troupe
-Assistant Directed a show
-Built Sets
-Been in a movie
-Learned how to drive
-Been an active member of Peabody's community
-Won Competitions
-Held a few Jobs (never been fired)
-Taken out loans
-Fought for things I Believed in
-Failed

This is just a list of things that popped into my mind. Things I consider achievements of some kind. The last one is very important not by itself, but how it affects the future. Failure is not a negative thing in itself, but how one reacts to it can be. So while the list is mainly about successes, failure reminds me that I have and will lose sometimes, but as a road, not an obstacle to winning.
