Listing my Top 200 achievement as instructed by our lecturer at University is pretty hard! I couldn’t get to 200.. Not because I have not achieved more than 200 things, but because there are less than 200 memorable, life-changing things that I will never forget.
In the list below, I mentioned a moment in my life where the achievement was so significant, it changed my life forever.
