Such nostalgia!
I was 10 years old, and on the bus to summer camp every morning I'd read this dog-eared book:

In between singalongs I learned to program. And loved it.
I was such a nerd. The counselors didn't know what to make of me. Dad complained I should spend more time outside.
Then I grew up, published my first commercial software title and turned that geeky addiction into a career. Thanks mom and dad for buying me that beat up old TRS-80! And thanks Mr. Kemeny and Kurtz for bestowing this beautifully approachable language onto the world, even if your original vision was shamefully bastardized by the time I stumbled upon it.
ps. You can read it, too:
