This isn't some achievement but I'd say my action was to move out of Lithuania. I was bedridden due to pollen, so sensitive that I spent the summers on a ventilator because of it. Me and my parents moved out to Norway, and the pollen allergies subsided.

Believing in myself. When I was in high school, I decided that I wanted to go to an Ivy League college. I figured I was just as capable as anyone else that went to those schools, I just needed to get there. But my guidance counselor refused to write the recommendation letter bc nobody at my school had ever gone to an out-of-state college before. I had to have a parent-teacher conference to get the letter approved. Fast forward to now, I’ve since finished college at an Ivy and now ~5% of each graduating class from my high school attends and Ivy for college. Turns out we were more than capable of doing it; someone just had to do it first.
