Good to see ya, @Cruiser!
Mine will seem like such little things! I lead a cautious life, and I’m working on getting better about that.
As a shy person, I never thought I would initiate so many conversations with strangers. It’s kind of necessary in college if you want to have friends!
As someone with health-related phobia, I never thought I’d drink alcohol. Finally decided that doing so would be a good step towards a more normal attitude regarding my body and taking “risks.” I did it, and it was fun, and none of my organs shut down.
As someone with little confidence in my “hands on” skills, I never thought I’d try an engineering course, but this past quarter I took a robotics class that’s notoriously difficult (it’s one of those “weed out” courses). It was hard, but I built a kick ass robot and ended up with an A. Sooo much work.
As someone who grew up waaaay too sheltered and naive, I never felt like I’d be capable of achieving any measure of independence. Well I can’t brag yet, but my road test is in a week and hopefully I’ll finally be a licensed driver, and later that same day I’ll be navigating an airport by myself.
Hey, all of these things have happened in the past two years or so. I think that’s a good sign!
