“Dream, not of what you are, but of what you want to be.”

In my teenage years, I began to develop a passion for technology and computers.¹ As a teen I began to meddle with the family computer to the point I began trying to open it up and check the insides.² I also tend to pick things apart such as remotes and toys just to see the parts of them.³ This prompt me to hang out at my uncle's place since he repairs computers and other appliances.⁴ I remember helping him on the repairs especially when it comes to computers.⁵ During this time I got myself involve with music.⁶ In which I would often borrow the guitar of my sister, and sometimes practice playing the drums.⁷ It was also a time where I began to participate in some physical activities such as playing soccer and tae kwon do.⁸ In which I met some of my trusted friends and began to expand my point of view slowly through them and by the games I played.¹⁰ I do remember the games such as Metal Gear and Warframe leaving a philosophical view in life.¹¹ I still follow the view learned from those games up until now.¹² During this period of my life I would also come to acquaint with my ever blurring eyesight and astigmatism.¹³ At this time I mostly go out with my friends and visit place to place not really getting serious with my study.¹⁴ I was only doing the bare necessity in terms on my study, and actually finish my high school with an average grade but enjoyable high school life.¹⁵ After that we became the first batch of the new K-12 program, the first batch of senior high.¹⁶ I chose to study at the University of the East and pursue the the strand of STEM.¹⁷ I thought we would be taught some basics of the computer there but it was mostly on mathematical and scientific subjects.¹⁸ I did still enjoy my senior high here even though the course I picked was not really in line with what I want to learn.¹⁹ Well that's most for my teenage year.²⁰
