Greatest Honor

Not really asking the biggest award or degree or monetary amount that you've ever EARNED. I'm curious about the greatest honor you've ever been granted.

A 'thing' where someone said 'because you are so special or important ...'

for purpose of variety/conversation if marriage proposal or acceptance is the greatest honor can you also tell us the 2nd highest?

I always feel honored to be cast in an important role in a play. I have been very fortunate to have had some very challenging parts.

My husband's greatest honor in life to date:

Our niece was engaged and there was discussion about who would walk her down the isle as her father had passed away. There were a few people that she considered but declined to honor them in that way for one reason or another. My husband, her uncle was one of the final choices but she decided that it wasn't perfect. The only problem was he was the -most- perfect of all her choices so she didn't want to say no.

In the end she asked him to officiate the wedding. My husband became ordained in order to perform the ceremony. He's soooooo proud of that. To date that's the (2nd) highest honor or compliment anyone has ever given him.

Alice in Alice in Wonderland , Isabelle in Ring Round the Moon, Laura in The Unexpected Guest, Viola in Twelfth Night, Fairy May in The Curious Savage (my best comic role), Annie in The Miracle Worker and quite a few others. I love acting.

The fact that folks trust me to represent them is an honor. And even after 20+ years it still charges my batteries.

Being a Godmother to my cousin's kids. If anything should happen to her and her husband I've been charged with the spiritual upbringing of my 2nd cousins. We're not Catholic and I'd never been asked to do such a thing before so I didn't know everything it meant other than my cousin wants me to be there for their major life events especially major church events but to be asked to be the one who ensures her kids continue their spiritual education was a huge huge honor.

Don't worry. I don't have to pay for it lol!

 I appreciate those of you that love acting and have the talent to do it.  It's a great asset for your town. We have an active communty theater group that puts on six or eight productions a year. I love going to plays.

I hope so too, 42, and I suspect most of them do. Otherwise the very long hours and very high stress would not be worthwhile, especially now that being an MD is no guarantee of a high income.

There was a time where I used to want to be a doctor, now with the all of the red tape in treating patients, malpractice insurance, the cost of med school hell I am glad I didn't. I had a 30 year old guy who used to work for me and he made $40K more than my kid's pediatrician. Nowadays you really have to love medicine to want to be a doctor. But the same holds true for lawyers to some extent right? I knew this woman with well over $100K in school loans. She was some sort of immigration lawyer of sorts and she barely made anything. She eventually gave up the law.

 Yes, it's very true for lawyers as well.  I think I've mentioned before that if young'ns ask me about law school I advise them to do it only if they love the law and will love being a lawyer.

Wierdly, there are more and more lawyers coming out, despite the skyrocketing costs of law school and the worsening job market.  I've heard speculations that so many college grads have been unable to find good jobs that they decide to go to law school instead.
