Hello fellow Scratchers!

I now present to you, by moderatorial speech:

I joined Scratch a little over two years ago when my school librarian assigned me to create a simple video game. I had always dreamed of making a computer game, and this was the opportunity of a lifetime! I had tried other programs, and failed dramatically... I saw Scratch as a new beginning. I instantly fell in love with everything about it! I learned how to do things I never thought possible, the idea was perfect, the interface simple, yet the number of ways I could express my imagination seemed infinite! I started working. I created many projects, but soon I thought, "I need to share these with someone!" and I joined the online community. It was unique, happy, friendly, and so were the other members. Everything was perfect. Shortly after joining, I found the forums. I was very interested in modifying the source code at the time, so I went right to the advanced topics section... oops. Everything seemed strange, alien, overcomplicated... but all I could focus on was learning.... Learning.

...and learn I did.

I was soon living in the forums. It was an endless archive of information. I interacted with other members, I participated in contests, I made friends, I shared my knowledge, I helped new members to accomplish what I did. The road was smooth for a long time, but later on the path became bumpy, conflicts arose, and I was forced into a new type of learning: mistakes.

...and mistakes I made.

Misjudgment, misunderstanding, misinterpretation, misspelling, misbehavior. It seemed hopeless, and finally, without warning, I was taken away. Removed. Erased. But in that time of idle, however short, I was able to reflect on the events of recent. I realized the wrongs I had caused. I asked for forgiveness. I decided to repent. I thought of ways I could change.

...and change I did.

I re-read the rules. I decided there was NOTHING that I was incapable of. I changed my way of thinking. From a self-centered first person perspective, to a third person, understanding, conscious of others' feelings perspective. I was inspired once again; however, this time I was not only inspired to create, teach, share, and interact, but inspired to inspire. I wanted to teach others how to be good members. I decided I wanted to teach by example, to be a good role-model, to spread my knowledge to others, so that they may build upon it, and they they may rise to become what I had, to use this knowledge that has been so passed down through these forums to reimagine, recreate, remix, and SHARE the good works of this good community!

I would think that we should not dwell on the evils of the past, but LEARN from them! To spread that very same knowledge so that together we may all, as one community, lay the foundation for the brighter future of Scratch!

For the reasons I have wholeheartedly stated above, I ask that you, my loving friends, allow me to pursue this goal as one of Scratch's community forum moderators.

All I need is your trust.
All I need is your dedication.
All I need is your friendship.
All I need is your VOTE!

You have my word.

- K.M.R. illusionist

...

a paragraph is not a line, it is two or more sentences that form a larger blob of text.

THIS IS THE 4th:

re-read the rules. I decided there was NOTHING that I was incapable of. I changed my way of thinking. From a self-centered first person perspective, to a third person, understanding, conscious of others' feelings perspective. I was inspired once again; however, this time I was not only inspired to create, teach, share, and interact, but inspired to inspire. I wanted to teach others how to be good members.

I had almost the exact same revelation during those fights! yikes Just without the ban.

And I thought whenever you indent it's a new paragraph. And since you can't indent, every time you skip a line was a new one.
