We've all accomplished things we can be proud of. And it's likely we've also done things that were embarrassing at best; stupid, shameful or regretful at worst.
Tell us a story about a time when you did something you (and perhaps others) were especially proud of. Maybe you were selected for an elite orchestra, or perhaps your team just won a championship game. Whatever the accomplishment (or failure), we'd like to hear the story behind it.
Or you could tell of a time you did something you later regretted or were embarrassed about. Maybe it's something that's really funny now but wasn't when it happened. In any case:
• Describe the situation, yourself, the location and the others involved.
• Provide us with colorful details (sights, sounds, smells).
• Tell us what happened, what you did and what the others did.
• How did you feel about it then?
• And how do you feel about it now?
• Finally, what did you learn from the experience?
