What Has Been Your Proudest Accomplishment Post-CWP?

I am proud of having the courage to live my life my way. Each person owes it to themselves to look inside and decide the life that fulfills them. They also owe it to themselves to act upon that decision. I launched a new company with a College Works Painting buddy.
