The Beginning of Programmer life

Years ago... after graduating highschool, I really have no idea about technology. I only knew few things about computer, games, and other stuff.. but it was not so very technical. All I did at those times was just for fun. Just plain normal teen, and simple minded..... just do normal things around only looking forward for interesting stuff flying around or do whatever I like.

Some of my schoolmates went to different courses, some of them just getting courses like others did. Some didn't thought how they feel for themselves. My instincts told me that I should not follow their way of thinking specially choosing a great course that would fit for my skill and the way I think about things. In the end, I just choose computer related course because I thought that it would possible to have job at an earlier age, and also lesser expense when it comes to learning process. That was the way I think at that time.


Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get into the University. I did attempt once in apopular University but I got low scores at the entrance exam. I got disappointed at the result but I was not sad about it because I knew that it was not the end of my journey. I also thought that it is not a good place to learn because it may having longer time to learn computer stuff with all those unwanted subjects running around in the university. I already knew the advantages of the University because of a "degree" or a title... but I was eager to learn computer stuff in just few years, few months or having a diploma as soon as possible or to do it "early". Then at that time, I just choose a vocational course (major in programming).


After summer vacation, I attended to a vocational school, (means only couple of years of study)... I entered the course not knowing any technical stuff. It was like sent to a battle without any weaponry. I had hard time learning stuff but thanks to the few schoolmates and teachers that helped me understand the basics where to begin. Few months later, I was able to keep up with the studies and learn in advance. It seems that all the stuff I was doing was interesting, exciting, and evolving every month. I decided to go through with it.
