This TEDx talk by Zach speaks volumes for me. I've been playing Graal PC since 2007. Sadly my highschool had no computer science classes that would allow me to learn more about what I was interested in. Closes I got to was Computer Information System class, which went over Microsoft applications, which for me was stupid easy. Fast forward 6 years later from that class, after spending time in the Army trying to figure out what it was I wanted to do in life, I finally narrowed in on IT. I've been doing some college here and there along with studying A+ and Security+ books, and this is the first time in my life I have been actually interested in what I am learning. I am now currently taking an introduction to computer programming class in an online college, and strangely enough, it excites me. The biggest downside to it is that it seems most of my classmates are clueless on that fact that coding is a completely different language, where grammar and the terminology is "deeper" in meaning that what they actually seem to grasp. Sadly I am way behind in the curve that I wished to be when it comes to learning how to program, but that won't stop me in pursuing continuous education in more advanced classes, while beginning to bug Astram on giving me small projects that a beginner like myself can learn from on g code *hint hint wink wink Astram and Sad*

yeah actually that's the part where I was paying my full attention. I'd never ever think of changing high school, just because it doesn't offer CS class. He was chasing after his dream and we all know it's not easy as it sounds. We can think, but putting that into action is a whole new level IMO.
