#Proud Of Me In Forbes

Half of a year has gone by already, but I still think this is the best achievement of my life, by far. I don't want to brag but, this is a great deal for a ex 17 year old (17 when I wrote & published the article about myself) and still is to this day and from now on forward. This opportunity presented itself really weirdly because, I got a call one day, while I was in school and out of now where, a very nice lady asked me if I want to write an article about myself and publish it in the Forbes Kids summer issue. Count me in. I didn't even blink. Of course, my parents taught me not to answer to unknown numbers but, I am glad I did. I would've regretted it for the rest of my life. Why did I get to be in this prestigious magazine? Not because I am rich or something, (not that I am poor either, because I am not (bad joke)) because as you all know Forbes is known for the annual
tops (The World's Billionaires List). They were right in one aspect .... somebody is rich here ..... and that is my CV is rich. Is full to the brim with diplomas from different things I've attended. But the most outstanding diplomas are the ones from my volunteering. I've done so much volunteering work throughout my high school years. And one of the greatest people I've met and worked with recommended me for this amazing thing. Isn't it crazy? How do you do something to help people and help yourself as well and you get rewarded with this. Never in my wildest dreams I thought I was gonna be here. Maybe 0.00001 percent of my brain dreamt that one day I will be number 500 in that billionaires top, (hahah joke again because 500 is the last place... anyways) but this is better than any rich list ever. I got to do good and be myself and somebody saw me as the person who worked very hard. Never thought that, this was a milestone to hit, but here we are or more precisely, here I am in my article. You better believe I've put this in a frame up my wall and got multiple copies of this magazine at home. Even my grandparents have one each. I still cant stop smiling when I look at this and this is only the beginning of what, can I truly do ... 

Also, since we are at this subject just found this article, very interesting about Billionaires who went broke: 8 who had it all and almost lost everything.
