I was leaning programming in high school and got so addicted and curious that I started learning how to do a web browser, a tic tac toe game and those kinds of things (using visual basic and pascal)

My teacher said that even she didn't knew how to do those, and that I had to explore my "talent"

I now understand that it's no talent at all, but she kept motivating me and guiding me during all those years and I love her for that
