Software Development

How I got into Software Development
In late 2015, I recieved my first graphing calculator (A TI-84) from my
uncle. In math, we were introduced to functions such as the quadriatic equation,
and the pythagorean therom. Manually plugging in all the variables into the calculator
seemed like a chore, so I looked into programming the calculator to take user input and
do the required mathematical operations. Without realizing, I was slowly becoming a developer.
Eventually, I began following tutorials on youtube to create html websites when I was in 9th and 10th
grade. Following the advice given to me from my math teacher, I decided to enroll in the Computer Programming
(AAS) program at SCTCC in spring of 2019, which happened to be my senior year of high school.
