The task before me was very clear: to break the logjam and get Brexit done so that we could get on with the vital task of levelling up the United Kingdom.
And that's what I did - hitting the reset button on Parliament by winning the biggest Conservative majority for a generation and, within weeks, extracting our country from the clutches of the European Union.
We took back control of our money.
We took back control of our borders and installed a points-based system for immigration.
We took back control of our laws.
And we took back the sovereign right of the British people to determine their own future in Parliament.
The Remainiacs and Remoaners and Rejoiners didn't like it then and they don't like it now.
You don't have to look hard to spot them...some quietly plotting in dark corners of Westminster, others spewing hashtags across social media as they sneer at readers of the Sunday Express and the many millions of Brits with whom they disagree.
Still more are camped outside Downing Street, bellowing through megaphones at bemused tourists and long-suffering police officers.
But the British people put their faith in me to get the job done.
And as I prepare to leave this fantastic job after three years at No 10 I'm proud to say that's exactly what I did, with Brexit and so much more besides.
Because this government has fought some of the hardest yards in modern political history. We have had to take some of the bleakest decisions since the war.
And time and again we got the big calls right. So we can look to the future with a rock-like confidence in what this government has done.
