This thread is for the proud moments that have occurred. The ones that help you understand that you 'get it'. These can be from the distant past, the recent past, the present, or even about the future. They can be about something you have done, realized, or helped with. They can be about your observations of others or even the impact of seeing something someone has done or is doing.
It's kind of like the popular thread -
You Know You've Overdosed On FIRST When... only different.

I have been proud to be a FIRSTer when I can share stories of students, mentors, and teams that I've come to know, with my 81 year old mother, and she waits with eyes sparkling, to hear 'just one more story'.
