## Introduction to the Real Me
+
## Early Tech Journey
-
I love technology and have been involved in it since I was very young. I always liked figuring out how things worked. I was given a christmas gift of "tobor" robot spelled backwards. It had a remote and the robot would go forward and reverse but was very limited. I took it appart and created a new version of it. My mom at first was not happy but she saw how creative I was and kept encouraging me. I was one of the first of two students from my school to use the Apple II E and program in a language called LOGO. It was great experience, moved up to TRS-80 in 6th grade, then IBM desktop in Junior highschool.
