A moment you felt the most satisfied with your life.

I'd been job searching for 7 months, I was feeling pretty pushed to the side in my relationship, and school was getting stressful.  I knew I'd be fine with school, I finally had a heart to heart with Eric, and I got an interview with Cold Stone.  It was the moment after the manager of Cold Stone called me, not 5 hours after the interview had ended, to offer me the job.  The second I got off the phone, I was screaming to my parents downstairs and woke up my dog.  I was so happy.  It was so satisfying to know that I got this job on my own. I got my first job through a referral, so I was always kind of unsure about my actual hiring potential.  Getting the job was my reassurance that I really am a valuable employee.  I wouldn't have been promoted or kept around if I wasn't.
