Emigrating and the amount of self-teaching I've done with languages and how far I've got with them because of it, especially Danish.

Also getting past innumerable hurdles of varying kinds in life and how that has made me into the person I am.

Gaining admission to one of the top 20 schools in the UK and getting told I was in half way through my interview.

I was quite proud.

Whoa you must be damn good if they tell you half way through :biggrin:.

Well, I do try :wink: Haha, messing! Nah, I was just lucky... I have a thing for interviews, they always seem to go well even if my academic record isn't as competitive as everyone else's!
Depends on who's asking. If it's in an interview I'd say something else which I've done but not my biggest. If it's just random I'd say my A-Levels (Which is my biggest but more generic).
Getting a 68 in my first year without reading a single book.

Not surprising. Just impressive.

I also don't know if there are different sorts of boot camps? Did you try and join the army? I dunno. That's why I asked!

I planned and did my own 520 mile sponsored walk for Mind 2 years ago. Raised £1,130 in the process.


Nice one. How many miles a day / how long did it take?
