Greg/Dean Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 What are 3 of your biggest accomplishments? And what is your next goal? I don't think you're gonna get a lot of feedback on this, and it's not because people haven't done stuff. It's because accomplishments are personal and relative. Accomplishments that seem large to some might be insignificant to others. Perhaps a better word might be achievements. Then you would be talking about things that are quantitative. Acheivements are pre-set, already established benchmarks. For example, Acheiving a college degree. I have a BA in interior design from Virginia Commonwealth University. This is an achievment. Creating a design class and exposing students, in Myanmar, who might not otherwise, have been able to have such experience, and then have at least one of those students go on to study design at a university in the US, to me is an accomplishment. An accomplishment is like a tree that never stops growing and producing more seeds which in turn, creates more trees. The next thing I hope to acheive is a Master's in Urban Management. God only knows what I will be able to accomplish with that. But I hope many things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Baby Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Cold Spring Lane seriously, I now reside in Bangkok Thailand. Why Thiland, and when can I visit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg/Dean Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Why Thiland, and when can I visit? Nuk, you are welcome to visit any time. We are in Thailand because I wanted to move here from Myanmar so that I could pursue other interest. My bf has a regional position at an NGO (non government organization) So he bounces around the region from country to country, sometimes. I wanted a base where I could be productive and have a enjoyable time too. Myanmar was getting to be too much of a hassle. Bangkok is great fun. If you really want to come bring a friend so that you can hang out with someone when we're busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Baby Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Wait a minute. Could I book a show over there? I am sure they like hip hop and pop right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elixabef Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 My biggest accomplishments are probably getting into the college of my dreams, graduating from that college on time and with good grades despite some personal obstacles along the way, and also achieving a pretty high degree of independence along the way, especially through traveling and studying abroad. My next goal is to overcome the some of the health problems that I'm dealing with right now and continuing on with the next phase of my life.

Greg/Dean Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Wait a minute. Could I book a show over there? I am sure they like hip hop and pop right? By their standards, you would be considered avant-garde, but that's a good thing. There is a hip-hip scene, although it's somewhat underground. But don't know that much about it since I'm not into Asian men in dreadlocks. Well, I should say, they wouldn't be my first choice . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illi Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I'm about to graduate with the BS in Accounting from the University of Illinois.

J. Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Well I'm young so I don't have many big accomplishments...I guess the top two would have to be graduating high school second in my class and getting accepted into northwestern university. Oh and receiving the most scholarship offers out of anyone in my high school. I think it was around 300 thousand from several schools offering me full rides. As far as goals...I really need to overcome a lot of fears and insecurities that are holding me back. I want to become more independent and proactive...essentially I need to take "control."
