At the age of 8, I was enlisted in a programming school (thanks mom!), learning how to move the LOGO turtle around the screen. At the age of 12, I was programming a game while my colleagues were moving turtles around :)

I would keep doing what I already do. I care deeply for the organization I work for, and I have many friends there. But I would engage only in what seems fun and meaningful, and avoid all things that I don't care about. Hey, I seems so fun
