How I did it
It made me 
How I did it: Technically, it took me seven years to pay off all of my credit card debt, but I am including every card that I have ever had. I am just glad that this experience is over and that I never have to take out another credit card again!!! Good luck everyone, and if you have to take out a loan to pay off your credit cards, DO IT! One of my cards skyrocketed to 29.99%!! That is as high as it gets in my state! Read how I did it…
It made me
Ecstatic
How I did it: I took the written test in 2005 and passed it. After having eye surgery, I lost confidence in myself and I stopped preparing for the road test. After a few stops and starts, I FINALLY buckled down this summer and studied to take the test. I will be 25 on August 22nd, and I wanted to have my license. I cried after I got my license because I thought that I would never reach this moment...Yet on my first try I passed! The feeling of euphoria… Read how I did it…
It made me
Happy
How I did it: I donated. I registered voters. I voted. We can achieve so much in this great land of opportunity when we work together. Our citizens deserve to live a country with universal healthcare, great educational opportunities, stable career choices, and other positive attributes that designates this country as the best place to live on earth!
