When was the last time I felt like this
This curious euphoria, this eagerly learning bliss?
Thinking about it, I've felt it before
The first time being when I was four
When I had tried my own little tests
An encyclopedia convinced me that science was the best
And then again when I was six
I saw a table in a PTA mist
And I became a Brownie Girl Scout
Because I liked badges and camps and helping others out
And when I reached the age of seven
I picked up a violin and found heaven
And in middle school in a Floridian vale
I felt that same rush when I learned how to sail
And in grade eight in the city of Detroit
I found my passion with my activist's voice
As an underclassman, my heart reached new highs
Hiking up to touch the Shenandoah skies
There's been so many choices that I've made
That exhilarated me and made me who I became
And feeling this now as I first try to code
I know I've found a new passion for my mind to download

I've been curious about coding for a while, so I tried a little today on this website called Code Academy. Trying it out, I got the same feeling as I did with these events in my past, and all of these are things I'm still passionate about years later. I wasn't sure about trying it, because I heard it was hard, but having this feeling now, and knowing that this is how I felt when I decided I wanted to be a scientist when I was four, I know that, regardless of how hellish it gets, I want to learn to code, even if I don't end up as an IT person.
