A short YouTube street-interview video by Stacey Lauren (uploaded Feb 7, 2024) in which an interviewer asks multiple people the same prompt: "What is something you've done recently that you are most proud of?" Respondents narrate brief personal accomplishments — examples in this chunk include installing a steep roof while afraid of heights, taking an extended retirement trip visiting multiple European countries, restarting and pursuing a masters degree, and learning small amounts of French. The piece is anecdotal and exploratory, collecting everyday achievements across travel, home projects, and education.

What is something you've done recently that you are most proud of?
Most recently reflected on the past year of 2022. I feel like it's a production of mine. I'm always big on reflection as a key tool towards learning both ourselves and how we want to move towards the future. So, yeah, I have a podcast, do the Thing, and it's all about like helping people kind of go after the things they want. Like take a trip to France. Where are you going? I'm going to. Well, we're going to Madrid, but we're on the same flight as you to Paris. Yeah, we were saying, like, we want to go with someone that's like not on se. So if we embarrass ourselves. No, I won't judge you. So. Okay, cool. So I really want to know, like, what's something you've done recently that you're really proud of?
Put a roof on my house. It was really hard and really steep and I'm afraid of heights. So wait, you did it yourself? Yeah. Oh my gosh. Yeah, it's. It was very steep and yeah, I was in a harness the whole time and it saved a lot of money. It was really fun and yeah. So cool. My first question is, and I think I know the answer, but I'd love to hear it again, is what is something you've done recently that you're really proud of? Well, my dream has become a reality. As a teacher for 36 years, I worked hard and I educated my children. Today I am reaping the benefits of my children. In fact, that was the best investment made. It's paying the dividends now with this holiday, the 21 day holiday. 14 days on land here in Europe with 7 days days on the MSC with Landiosa. So visiting 10 countries is definitely a dream come true for me and my husband. So this is our retirement gift. So my first question, and you can feel free to ask this together or individually, is what's something you've done recently that you're really proud of?

And so my first question is, what's something you've done recently that you're really proud of? I started on my master's. So I started it several years ago and picked it back up. So I'm proud of myself for getting back into it and trying to pursue it and finish it. Amazing. What do you think helps you do that time? Like, feeling that in order to kind of further my career, that I needed to do that in order to go to the next level. What's something you've done recently that you're proud of?
