Becoming a Programer. My Story. Good day, dear readers. Today, I'm going to tell you about how I became a programmer (a web developer). There was 2003-2004 years. I was living in a small town. The population of the town was about 70 000 people. I was 16-17 years old and studying at school, the last class. I didn't think my life would be connected with computers and programs. At that time I liked making things myself and cooking. I thought I would get an education for making a good furniture or I would be a good cooker, but I didn't know where I would. I was graduated from the school. I started to search for a university or a technical school in other cities, because my hometown couldn't give me that I wished. Time was going. A one day, my mom and I were going somewhere by the street in our hometown and we noticed some advertisement of a technical school. There was information about an IT education. I remembered my computer passion. I thought "Why not man?". I knew if you want to get an education in IT area I had to know mathematic well, but I didn't. It didn't stop me at all :). I went to that technical school for passing entrance examinations. The education wasn't free (in Russia we can take a free education). I took the minimal requirement points in entrance examinations. I was so happy :). The first year of my education was very difficult. I understood little piece of information. My head was filled thoughts about "I can't. I don't know a lot of. I don't know mathematic well. How will I live further? I can't make money. Man you should do something. You can't.". I didn't know what I needed to do. Also I had a plan of an education connected with photos. In the second year of my education I started to understand much better, but I didn't manage to apply my knowledges at all. It made me sad. Time was going. I started to find information about programming (before I didn't have internet. It's Russia) and found some interesting course of programming. It was my start point. I watched the whole course. Than I found a few useful books about a program language and read them. After that I could make a simple program and I felt a little piece of powerful :D At that time I had good thoughts in my head, like "Man, you can. You can do it. Yeaaah!!!". I was so happy. Than I went to a university and started to work. My life as a programer started. I hope It will be interesting for you. Thank you for reading. See you soon. :)
