One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Does it have to be one?!
Well if so, the most recent amazing thing I've done was that I followed a thief, who had entered our house, in such fierce manner that he ran away. I have to mention that he was a huge guy (maybe 190 something cm height and 80-90 kilograms) and I was an almost ordinary unarmed girl ( 170cm height and 55kilograms weight)!
