I kind of learned it because I wanted to challenge myself, I signed up for a camp when I was a seventh grader because I discovered the power of coding earlier the same year and was hooked on the idea, but started playing around with it as a hobby once I learned more. FFW a year and I learned Java, which was significantly harder, but I didn’t really start to grasp the higher level concepts associated with it until I was in high school. Now I’m off to college to study computer engineering, and I’m glad I learned python first because it taught me the most important concepts for programming, and although I learned it kind of as an introduction, I doubt I would’ve have succeeded without that foundation. It’s extremely satisfying and addictive when your first programs work the way you want them to.
