When I was a little kid, maybe 8 or 9, my older brother introduced me to computer games. At the time my favorite was Fish Tycoon, it came free on our old Windows PC, my mom got me games that came on disks, mostly childrens art programs, and I loved them. When I got the hang of how to use our dial-up internet I played things like Webkinz, Build a Bear, Disney.com, and American Girl University, and when I was a preteen my dad decided to make me my own email, so I've had a Google account since 2012 as well. I have memories of playing Solitare and Purble Place on the laptop my father built, and of asking my grandparents if I could play 39 clues on the desktop in their office, computers have been a major piece of my life for a long time. I have always prefered sitting inside doing puzzles on a computer over running around outside, and for a while I found it embarassing, but I've grown to appreciate the experiences I had. The oldest friend I have I met while we played computer games side by side in the middle school library on its new computers.
