My parents gave me this to help me learn English when I was a toddler. I was pretty much on this thing 24/7, which is probably why I know English better than I do Filipino. It also started my preference for technology over handling problems or taking notes manually.

I don't really remember when my dad introduced me to video games, but I do remember me playing a lot of them when I was around 3-4 years old. I didn't know what to do or how to do things, I just did whatever I deemed fun. Even now I just like screwing around and do things, but for some games, I try to play it the right way and do well. Video games also helped spark my interest in tactics and strategy, which sort of became my favorite kind of video game to play.

In elementary school, we were given access to laptops that had typing games on them. We used that to get the basics down. I ended up typing faster than most of the kids in my class, but as we got older we didn't have access to them that much, so I had to resort to practicing at home.

Back in Middle School, it was required of us to take two computer classes in 6th grade. That's when I first learned how to properly type and navigate through the inner workings of the desktop. My teacher also told me how to code a little and even do some ascii art. She also thought me how to organize files on a computer efficiently. I don't really use that now, but I plan to organize my files on google drive when I get around to it.

I got my first phone, an iPhone 5c, in 6th grade and I didn't really see the point. I mean, nowadays I'm always on it, but back then it was a novelty. I mainly used it to watch youtube videos or look up things I find interesting and help me out with some schoolwork during lunch. It was also great communicating with some of my friends outside of school.

I got my first laptop during middle school, and I used it as a substitute for writing out notes because of my insanely bad handwriting. Since then, I've been able to keep up with my teacher while focusing on improving my digital literacy. I've been taken notes like this for a while because I can actually read them.

For an assignment called "The Blank Project", I had to make a website on something from modern history. I decided to go with the thing I know the most about, graphics. Coding the game was a chore. I had a guide to help me along but some of the programmings confused me and it sucked. That experience turned me off of coding for a while, at least until I started messing around with console commands on windows and on steam.

I've been interested in emulating games I can't really play anymore, but with a twist. I found this program that allows me to mess with old games source codes and make them much easier now than I was a child. I also could mess around with making the characters and the background different than the original game.
