How did you get into programming? #11

Cheating on tests in 11th grade trig. I borrowed the programming manual for the Ti-83 calculator, and starting writing programs to speed up how long it took me to answer trig problems. If I forgot the formula, I'd just read back the source code. Would even save and restore registers, just like x86-64 calling conventions! Didn't really recognize it as programming until I took my first CS class in college! Wish I started sooner.
