Once upon a time, in the WORST year 2019,there this dumb kid that was really bored. Even though his grades was going up like crazy but he felt that something was missing. That dumb kid was me was me! I thought that having a talent would have been good but I still didn’t know what will be his talent. At one of his brothers online classes. Teacher was talking about coding and stuff, one of my brother’s friend introduced this wonder called “Makecode Arcade”. Curious little me searched on google and self taught myself. Then, I unintentionally clicked on the share button. I clicked on one of the buttons and a website popped out. It ask for my email ,password and stuff. After doing it I made [my first post!](https://forum.makecode.com/t/games/9759) After that, I did the worst thing ever! I did not credit someone and said that line of code was mine. Oh, silly me. Then he went on a journey to be online an the forums every five days of the week. In the end, it wasn’t only what I learned but the friends we made along the way. thank you for all your support and help you guys gave me, its just incredible. -@SoftTalker ---

Howard SoftTalker sounds like a Viking name. -Soft spoken, but fierce with the axe. Would not want to [holmgang](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holmgang) with him, @Sarge… 😉 ---

I started coding on MakeCode several years ago, and one day I, like SoftTalker, accidentally clicked the share button and discovered an incredible forum filled with awesome games, and amazing coders! After that, I eagerly waited to be old enough to join the forum, and here I am! ---
