(I always make unnecessarily long posts, but I can only think of stories within a context)
I was pretty decent at organic chemistry in high school, though I was never that interested in doing anything particularly well for school. My teacher tells me about this national contest that she wants me to attend, and I'm like sure, whatever (it meant I'd skip other classes to "prepare" for it, so fuck yea).
It was away in another city, and while on the train the teacher tells me about how she's gonna meet a lot of her old college colleagues, and people she's known since she was young. We get there, I participate in the contest, and as I was coming out of the written test, my teacher was with this "friend" of hers. I accidentally heard that other person tell my teacher how the students she brought are so great cause they have [insert achievements here] and they're sure to win, and my teacher didn't really have what to say about that, and I could tell she was feeling uncomfortable.
I won that contest and the look of surprise and happiness on the face of my teacher is something I will never forget for the rest of my life. Making other people happy is the greatest feeling I can have.

I also own a website (I won't advertise it here, it's not in English anyway) that has around 5k unique visitors daily, it's like my baby so I'm proud of that too.
