Personal Accomplishments
Personal accomplishments are the achievements that an individual has acquired over a set
period (Thudt, Alice, et al., 6). These are what you value more than others and give you a sense
of satisfaction and pride. These can attribute to psychological, emotional, spiritual, and
professional growth. These accomplishments may include attaining a certain educational level,
having good health, starting a family or a business. It is important to note one's accomplishments
to understand the extent of your growth, primarily in business. To attain these goals, one requires
a positive mentality and understand one's self for opportunity creation.
Being a male and of over thirty years and with two beautiful children, even though in
college, has helped me a lot in attaining most of my goals and encouraged me to acquire skills
that have boosted my achievements. I have accomplished many things that define me and that I
proudly call mine. These include:
I organized successful fundraising to facilitate the repairing of the elderly house in our
society. I did not have public address systems nor capital to advertise this through posters. I
performed a door-to-door visitation with the help of some youth members in our local church.
This event was attended by many members of the society irrespective of their stature. The
amount collected was more than enough. It surpassed the intended amount by far. Later I was

selected as the overall overseer during the repair of the latter. Through God's grace, we could
complete the repair, and the senior citizens had a better place to call home.
Another accomplishment was that I attained a diploma in Home Based Care after
learning online on the same. I had put a lot of commitment and sacrifice during the period of
learning. I would wake up to do revisions on the topics before preparing breakfast for the
children and later head to work. I was often at the pick of despair, but I encouraged myself, and
finally, through hard work, I completed it.
After being employed in a nearby health facility as a cleaner after being used, I decided
to open my own cleaning business. The amount that I had saved was not enough to buy the
equipment required for the services. I applied for a loan that I was granted with a minimum
interest rate. I applied for the necessary business licenses and found a suitable place to set my
office. After a long time of advertising, I finally got my first clients. In later days I got referral
clients, and this enabled my business to grow. A nearby manufacturing company contacted me.
They offered me a contract that boosted my business for I was able to expand my services and
accommodate a larger group of employees.
I later developed chest and back problems due to carrying heavy equipment and lack of
proper air circulation. This was brought about because my office also served as the storage room
for the detergents and cleaning tools. It was always stuffy, and the air was a dump. I was
diagnosed with chronic pneumonia and was hospitalized for a week. I did not give up, and I was
determined to fight for my health for my children's sake. I heeded the doctor's instructions and
took my medicines as required. I recovered quickly, something that surprised even the doctors. I
was discharged from the hospital and complimented for my miraculous recovery.

Lastly, I was invited to our local church. The sermon was precise and encouraging. I
decided that it was time to offer my life to God to make me His tool in His service. After the
miraculous healing, I knew that it was not by my strength or might but God's hand. I dedicated
my life to Him, who healed me, and it was one of my most outstanding achievements.
The degree to achieve and complete this goal required a high sense of self-sacrifice and
discipline. One must be committed, motivated, and determined. To see their dreams come true
and attain a sense of accomplishment. The recording of goals achieved helps the individual
become stress-free (Rupert, Patricia, and Katherine, 5).
