In 6th grade i stole my teachers car to go get a girl some lemon heads...this was just the latest such incident so my teachers said I had to stand in the corner for the rest of the year; but my computer teacher Ms. Melton said I could spend the time in the computer lab and she started teaching me JS. Then on work study day she sent me to her friends at a local ISP and they gave me an internship etc... etc... 30 years later and I am a software eng.
- llbbdd 2y agoDid she like the lemon heads?
- arionhardison 2y agoShe did, I spoke to her a few years ago; doing well. She is a lawyer in DC and was glad to hear I was doing well too.

- tinix 2y agomaybe they meant Java, and not actually 30 years.
- arionhardison 2y agoI am 41, JS was released 29 years ago; 6th grade is 11—12 years old so my math might be a little off. But it was JS, I remember because it was new and i thought it was so cool to do alerts, LOL.
