What's something you're proud of that you can't normally talk about?

I'm not going to write a sob story about my upbringing, but to put it into perspective I left school with only 4 C grades and worked as a kitchen porter or several years before having a child at 20 with a person I ended up breaking up with. As a single parent, I got myself into university by doing an open university module. I'm now two years into my degree and looking to get a first (I got an 82 mark on my last essay). I've managed to raise a kind, very confident, well traveled and musical daughter. On the side of my degree, I've done quite a lot of charity work, taught myself 'titanic' on the irish tin whistle and learned to hula hoop on my nose.
