Could anyone inspire people out here by sharing your coding life story?

It would be good if someone shares your stories about how you began coding and which path you chose and which level you are now in..Im excited to listen about the awsome experience you guys had.

Since you asked....... Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Netkos. By the way, he was very handsome, and smart, and uhhh everyone wanted to marry him but they didn't realize it yet. :D This little kid loved to solve puzzles, quietly observe the world/people around him and was fascinated by the patterns he observed in the world. His parents did a lot of work with computers in the 80s, so he was always exposed to them even before things began to blow up in the 90s with the internet. His father told him, "Son, you can do whatever you want with this computer. It's okay, you won't hurt anything." As such, he began to delve into the world of technology and wanted to know more. At this time, it was mostly fun and games, and the love for video games was also developed; he never would have imagined that he too could create games or create anything for that matter. However, when this kid turned 11, his father had a backache and went to the doctor. His father thought that his back was hurting because he does a lot of landscaping/manly stuff that his son did not inherit. Unfortunately, this is when his father found out that he had Stage IV lung cancer and had 2 months to live. As a kid that thought he could break down and solve any problem in the world, he was presented with a situation that he couldn't understand, and certainly couldn't fix. This threw the kid into a dark world filled with despair and sorrow, and all he wanted was to escape from it all. This is when the kid began to spend all of his time on his computer, and was able to exist in an online world where he could escape to. During this time, the kid decided that he would create his own world, and he would have full control over it; it would be a place that others could exist in to escape their world and be happy, even if for just a moment. While creating this world, he hit a roadblock due to having a lazy programmer, and that is when he stepped up to became the programmer instead. He immediately fell in love with it and the rest is history. END
