For me, I fell in love with programming after taking an introductory course at my local college when I was still in high school. The course was introduction to java, and since then I've fallen in love with programming. It's been almost two years since then and I have to whet many skills since then, as well as discover more about why I love programming. Simply put I love problem-solving. I love running into an issue or needing to write an algorithm, and having no idea where to start. Then putting myself and my patience to the test and eventually solving the issue and potentially creating something incredible.
