Imagine • Program • Share
The motto of Scratch, "imagine • program • share " is what inspires me the most about this website. A big, community with such welcoming, supporting people. Everyone is just united, and even when they don't like something/someone, they are honest but not insulting. Ever since I was small, I'd play a game or watch an animation on the televison, and say "Mum! Dad! How Can I Make A Game?" They'd shrug. But now I know the meaning of programming, it's more than just curiosity, or a hobby. It seems much more than a hobby. Being able to share my creations, is also a wonderful thing too. I've learnt much more than just being curious of what I was watching on televison, or playing games which I wished I wanted to create. I've finally found pride in myself, and enjoyment. I've finally found something that I can say at the end of the day, "Wow. I can't believe I did it!" That is what Scratch is all about for me. Just programming, and reflecting on what I have created and feeling proud, because I've found something I've latched to. But, meeting such brilliant and inspiring people, looking at what they have created is much more wonderful then seeing what I have created. Every day, I learn a new thing, I see a new thing. Scratch is something that I know won't slip through my fingers like dust. I'm sorry I had to make a whole speech about this, but I just need to say how much Scratch has made an impact on me. I hope to hear from all of you soon.

just wondering
why did paddle edit thatI believe Paddle2See, edited it because I requested for a typo to be edited.
I believe he also should've removed that unneeded comma. In this post he should've done that, too. Also, I agree with your point. This thread is a statement of my feelings. Ah, when I was young, I always wanted to make my own games. But when I asked, my mom would shush me because my baby sister was sleeping. I was only allowed to play video games while she was sleeping, as far as I remember
