Computing Autobiography
How I Started:
I started using a computer when I was about 6 as a result of my older sister’s obsession with them. 
My earliest use was on a 386 (I think...?), which I used to play some very simple games (tic-tak-toe
type games (Go Moku? anyone).  I have also used Unix and Mac systems, though not much.  I use
computers for shopping, banking, email, and to store and play my music.   I secretly enjoy coding and
I once took a nerdQ test that told me I was a closet nerd (phew... close).

I became interested in computer science long before I started actually studying it.  It turns out to be far
more fun and less of a hassle than I had imagined.  What made me decide to take my first course was
my exposure to math softwares like matlab and mathematica.   I had to do some programming in these
languages for math courses and it eventually pushed me over the edge to actually study it. 

What is it that computer scientists do? Program, design networks, study operating systems and simulations,
the list goes on and on. But when I picture one working what do I see? A nerd making a computer do new
tricks—sounds good to me.

The Best:
My best programming experience was writing Tetris in a big hurry for my first computer science course. 
It was really fun to have complete control of a computer like that for the first time. There was so much I
had no idea about that I learned as I went.

Now?:
I have now written lots of fairly large programs and some even bigger ones, and I love doing it.
Its been very useful for the math I've been doing and I have to say I love computers all the more for it.
What more can I say?
In the future, I will probably use computers for work in math or even possibly as a programmer.
