Why I Code
My passion for programming stems from my love of organization, enthusiasm for intellectual puzzles, and the feeling of freedom and amazement from seeing ideas jump to life.
With my great attention to detail, I find coding intuitive. With my drive for developing my own ability, I enjoy constantly adding to my skills. Whatever hurtles I face, I enjoy the satisfaction of breaking through them, and for that reason I will always be passionate about programming.

A Little Background
My first experience with editing code was long before I ever learned my first programming language. At the age of 12, my younger sister and I discovered a virtual pets game entitled Petz 3. In being as creative and curious as ever, I soon discovered via the internet that people were actually creating their own "breedz". With extensive research I tried to figure out how to do this myself. Finally, with some help from my father, I had at my fingertips a way for me to edit the code. Each breed was an individual file, and by replacing colors in hexadecimal, sizes, and values for the different body parts, I found my first outlet for programming.
