    Wow, that's profound, and it's kind of deep, too.

    No disappointments in this regard.  Those letters behind my name keep opening doors for me.

    If there are no disappointments and it's been good overall, then you have no disappointment to name that answers the question. As such, your positive experience is fully noteworthy and deserves recognition, but it doesn't count as far as the criteria of the question calls for.

    Nothing I guess, I was pretty good academically, always passed with distinction. However, there was one thing which always nagged me. My elder brother secured a post graduation degree in Engineering, it is called M.Tech in India. My middle brother, he secured a double MS from US in chemical engineering and computer science. I was very good and excelled in all subjects except math, I hated it, I liked living in a world of imagination, poetry and fantasy, that is why I chose English Literature in bachelors and Masters level, but my lack of interest in math was always riduculed at home, in order to excel and overcome I again secured a diploma in creative writing in English and a bachelors degree in education....sadly even to this day, my family feels I've not risen to their expectation.....that being  poor in math meant I wasn't successful....;))

    So make up your mind: is your answer "nothing" or "something"?
