How I did it: I found the love of my life: my soulmate, who showed me what it's like to truly live life. Within the span of merely a month, I experienced more things and went to more places than I ever had before. And get this: we both do not have a car, so we get around by bus and we still experience a whole lot. My depression and bipolar symptoms decreased dramatically and I found new reasons to live.

How I did it: I had been wanting to make a website for my art and photography for the past 3 years, and because I'm a full time student, I just didn't have the time to design an elegant, professional-looking website manually. I designed several layouts, but getting content up was a struggle; so for 3 years I didn't get very far. About 4 or 5 months ago, I came across JIMDO.com, a fairly new hosting site with a quirky, unique interface that let me creat… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I live in Hawaii and the last time I had been to the beach in a bathing suit was in 4th grade when I was about 8 or 9 years old. Since then I was overweight and way too ashamed of my body to be seen in one. I'd avoid bathing suit situations at all costs.

How I did it: When I turned 18 I wanted to start building credit early, as it is a "necessary evil." I did online research after getting rejected for many credit cards because I had no credit history to begin with. I discovered some companies like Citi, Chase, and Discover offers credit cards especially for college students looking to build credit. I got approved for a great college card from Citi with a rewards program. I am slowly, steadily building … Read how I did it…
How I did it: It was a slow and gradual change taking place mainly from my sophomore to senior years in high-school. Since then my look has improved more and more. Before 10th grade I had always been overweight, frumpy, and completely lacking in fashion sense. Since then I lost my braces, lost about 30 lbs, developed a great sense of fashion, completely altered my hairstyle and color, learned how to put on makeup, cleared the blemishes, and overall bec… Read how I did it…
How I did it: Drawing and Painting was something I was better at than most of my peers ever since I could pick up a marker or crayon. I was never seriously interested in furthering and improving my art until about 6th grade. When I was 11 I developed an intense desire to draw a person's face and make it look "really realistic." That year I started self-teaching myself through instruction books and began improving my drawing skills drastically. Since th… Read how I did it…
How I did it: Taking classes in high school to learn absolute basics, then researched on different websites. Learned a lot just from experimenting on my own. My current job requires my photoshop knowledge and I learned more about it while working. I'm always learning new techniques, as Photoshop is so wide with many, many features. Read how I did it…
