What I am Proud Of - Idea continued from Base

General
Ill take a try at this, though I have trouble with words ^_^
I was priveledged enough to start college two years early (as a Junior in High School) through a jumpstart program, even though my attendance and grades in Highschool were less than desirable. Within one semester I had finished all my high-school requirements and had moved on to start my degree in network administration and network security engineering. I achieved far higher grades than I ever had in any previous schooling, and went almost to completion on my associates.
The moment I graduated Hichschool and turned 18 I decided it was time for a change in life, and quit pursuing what I knew I was good at, which was networking, and moved out and back to hawaii to pursue a culinary career. I got myself into and through school on my own two feet, which broght my fater and I to an understanding for the first time in our lives.
Now, I work long hours, at a less-than-desirable job but I pride myself in the fact that EVERY day, I manage to have fun and enjoy my career immensely. Within the last week I was contracted to cater part of a wedding (as part of a 3-man group), as well as bake and design the wedding-cake. As a result of that, I picked up a SECOND catering gig on my own for a brunch party of about 50, and things seem to have taken off from there.
My career is AWESMOE, and amazingly fun, and rewarding in more ways than monetarially.
I also have found a renewed love for painting, and have taken it up again.
In the last months Ive sorted my life out more and more, and am moving out of Vegas to Reno as soon as I can to enjoy a change of scenery and further my career.
I am thankful for the fact that I have absolutely wonderful friends who support me, and the things I do, and have been there for me through the rough parts of my career and life. They, above all, are worth more than anything in this world and I value them very much.
