Find a word related to the word P R O U D

Question

The idea is to find an English word (synonym –- antonym -- phrase, idiom, phrasal verb ) related to the word – P R O U D ( adjetivo, adverbio ) and then write a simple sentence in English and Spanish for that word.

Examples:

He was the proud owner of a new car.

(Él) era el propietario orgulloso de un coche nuevo.

Pictures would be nice, (pretty ones or animals get lots of votes) ha ha
