When I was in middle school, I was enamored with the idea of making my own video game. Through the rudimentary nature of the AOL-era internet, I learned Visual Basic and proceeded to make very basic games. That was enough of a spark to get me to try my hand at harder coding languages, but I quickly realized I was in over my head. Years later, I'd try my hand at it again in college, only to realize that programming just wasn't my thing.
