I Regret Losing Focus on Computer Programming

My dad had always wanted my brother and I to live a tech lifestyle and have deeper knowledge about computers even though he had little or no idea about tech. My dad Is an engineer by profession and he sees how everyday advancement of computers keeps on emancipation daily in every field and domain. I love his eagerness and desire to make us successful children but to me then it was like a threat to my peace.

My brother was far more serious and brilliant than me, my dad always praised him for how focused he was in everything he does and how he does it to perfection. During our grade 8, my dad enrolled my brother and me in a Music school and my dad's younger brother owns a computer school. So each time we finished school we went to our learning schools to become more skillful, I was too lazy to learn then I felt like I was too stressed and I needed peace which made me lose focus in both learning music and computer, which I currently regret now.

I was 12 years old when I started to operate on computer, I loved typing then and I used Microsoft Word to type and do other things even though I had little idea about typing, but later along the line I got lost in my focus when my brother installed Mortal Kombat and GTA game on our home computer, I played this game more than any other things in the world, I was so lost in it. Each time I go to my uncle's computer school to learn the basics of typing I will minimize and take it to the game then come back if I notice any trace of him coming.

I was enrolled alongside some serious computer students and I was the youngest of them all because my uncles owned the school. I was already 15 when this learning started, my brother had gone far in his tech career this time and he was more focused on graphic design, java, and web development. I was allowed to learn Python this time and I also have a laptop this time. But I was not focused, each time I missed classes my uncle did not even bother me much because he felt I was still young and I could always learn it any time I wanted, but the truth is if I had focused and learned this skill then I would by now become a professional in the python and what I do.

Presently the world revolves around coding and computers and I keep on thinking how far and how well I would have come with my programming language, my uncle presently works at the Airtel Networking office and he is the Manager and one of the branches.

Recently I now found myself gaining more interest in cyber security which I will need to learn a bit of programming because of the domain I want to focus on under cyber security. If I were allowed to advise anyone I would encourage that person to be focused on learning at a young age as it will be helpful to the person in the future.

“Make your decision now, it is never too late to focus on your career”. This is what I tell myself every day and what I will advise everyone listening to this advice.
