A little introspection...

To me, being successful means...
Finding something that makes you happy. Finding something that you enjoy doing every day.

My definition of success has changed over time. 

My greatest accomplishment to date and what I’ve learned from it
Graduating from college. Even with a learning disability, I can still achieve anything I want. 

An unexpected event that significantly changed my life and how it impacted me
I had to undergo major surgery just months after my birthday. It completely changed the way I look at life. I appreciate each and every moment so much more now after nearly having life taken away from me.
