I always wanted to make video games, so I started because of that, but it’s grown into so much more. Websites, games, blogs, anything I can think of, I can now make with lots of well spent hard work. So I started because of video games, but it’s opened up a whole new world.

Answer 6

I started attending a Microsoft sponsored 4-H coding group in December of 2017 and downloaded a bunch of apps for learning coding. Of coarse, SoloLearn was on of them. But it has developed into so much more than just learning. I have friends here (my only real friends in existence because I am homeschooled) and I can interact with people outside of church (my dad is a pastor) and talk about pretty much anything (music that might not have the best content, video games, and especially....... CODING!!!!

Answer 7

My parents bought me a Pentium III pc when I was 8 years old. I've been obsessed with computing since then. As a kid, I loved taking it apart and putting it back again, fixing hardware/software problems by myself, and playing video games that piqued my interest in both, code and design. I'm an avid learner and love learning new things.
Everything about the inner workings of a computer is absolutely fascinating! :)
