My first coding experience was as a freshman in high school, making a ASCII rocket ship launch off the screen after counting down from 10, via BASIC. I thought it was the neatest thing ever, but after exhausting the resources at available at my high school, I didn't rediscover programming until 19 years later. Wish I would have stuck with it from the get go.

Same! I learned Java and C++ in about 9th grade and didn't pick C++ back up until grad school, for the most part. So many wasted years...
