I found a site to ruin what self esteem you have. Things Other People Accomplished When They Were Your Age.
Here's my list:
Francis Scott Key, after witnessing the bombardment of Fort McHenry, publishes "The Star Spangled Banner."
Judith Guest began writing her first novel, Ordinary People.
After defeating Antony and Cleopatra's forces in a naval battle, Augustus became the master of the Roman world.
Matthias Jakob Schleiden, a German botanist, formulated the cell theory of physiology.
Go in and put your age in. I dare you.

Gee thanks! :) I try not to dwell on what others have and haven't done, but hey I'm human :)
My favorite for my age is
Famous mathematician/songwriter Tom Lehrer recorded "An Evening Wasted With Tom Lehrer," in which he commented that "By the time that Mozart was my age, he'd been dead three years."
For my current age, the biggest one was: "Alexander the Great had conquered almost the entire known world." I'm nowhere near that. But I won't die at age 33 either.
Choo! My link was broken.
Oh, no, can't top this one:
Miss Tiffany Lee Brown of Portland, Oregon simultaneously sang and lit up fire torches on the tips of her fingers.
