What were you the first person to do?

Do what?

I was the first boy to join Camp Fire Girls (now Camp Fire Inc.) in 1975. I was ten years old.

Oh, my bad. I read “what” and thought “why” :P

I think I was the first person of my country to be a legitimate user on Fluther.

What country ?

@Mimishu1995 is also the first person to answer this OP.

Bold of you to assume that I am a person.

I was the first person to be a mother to my children.

First person in my family to graduate from college.

^ Same here.

I was the first person to read the book I wrote.

^^ And I, too, was the first person to graduate from college in @cookieman‘s family.

I was the first person to get married (love) in my traditional Indian Family. Means choosing my own spouse opposite of arranged marriages. Since then my younger cousins started getting married according to their choice (not by family).

Also, I was the first female (engineer) from my family to move out of the country to live my dream.

I was the first person that a surgeon performed a particular surgery on. It was a teaching hospital and he was an associate professor so no, he wasn’t a newbie to surgery. Plus the head of the department and a bunch of other docs were there. I was 24.

I was the first person to be my mother and father’s child. (also the only)

^ Same here.

Oh, I was also the first person to have a particular problem with my thumb published in a medical textbook. That’s what my surgeon said, at least. He was very excited to take pictures.
