Brag to me, brag to the world! When you do something special you should be proud of it, and sometimes we don't always get the chance to share it. But here, for lack of a better word, brag about anything!
Interesting places you've been, teams you're on, contests you've won, good grades, how skilled you are at something, acts of kindness, or anything in the world. I like to hear about people's successes, so don't hold back!

I went to see Phantom of the Opera on August 18th! :)
One of my comments got posted in Cricket's Letterbox during the July/August issue of Cricket! (At least, I'm pretty sure that's the issue it got posted in...)
Can't think of anything else at the moment....

First off, I LOVE this thread! It's the only place where I can brag without feeling super arrogant and rude! It's such an amazing idea; thanks for creating it, Marigold!
Second off (is that even a term?), you all have such amazing accomplishments! Like, aaaaaah, the Chatterbox is SOOO talented!
Third off, BRAGGING!

I can remember almost every book I've ever read. If someone gives me a random book quote I can place it. (Assuming I've read the book, of course!) I can also recite portions of certain books verbatim.
I started volunteering as a coach this summer for my gym ,and the head coach thought I was so good at it that she offered to hire me!
Today in 20th Century I was the only one who knew the second reason why America got involved in World War I! (It was the Zimmermann telegram, if anyone's interested.)

Everyone here is so accomplished and talented! And I clicked on this thread and the first thing I thought was "I have, like, social anxiety?". Just kidding, anxiety can go freeze in carbonite.
Any unskilled people want to bond with me?

I am unskilled too! However I prefer the term "bad at stuff".

Me! Hello! What do you like to draw and what do you hate drawing?
(September 13, 2018 - 3:55 pm)
I really like drawing cartoon monsters and ghosts, and I hate drawing realistic people and hands.

HOW? I started at my school recently and it is SO tiring. Tips?
(September 15, 2018 - 8:06 pm)
1) Pace yourself. As long as you just keep going at your own pace, it doesn't matter how far ahead or behind you are.
2) Don't be afraid to take a break when you need one. Give yourself 30 seconds or so to calm your breathing, and then just start back up again.
3) Try to control your breathing. I used to breathe really quickly, but someone told me to just try and breathe a little bit more slowly. (oof, my grammar is terrible.) It took a lot of practice, but it's really helped me and paid off.
4) Never let anyone tell you you cannot run. Because if you want to get better, then you can.
