My high school math teacher introduced me to it, months before graduation. Even though math was not my favorite subject lol, I was persistent at solving problems. Iโ€™m assuming thatโ€™s why he thought programming would be a good fit for me, turns out he was right. ๐Ÿ˜

He had me try Java (thatโ€™s what he was working on) I believe on Codecademy. I was hooked from there. I discovered web development on Codecademy, and found interest in that specifically. I never turned back after that, I knew thatโ€™s what I wanted to work on after I graduated ๐Ÿ™.

This was a life saver for me because I didnโ€™t know what the hell I wanted to do with my life before hand. So..thank you Sean ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜Œ(even though he probably will never see this lol)
