I had a similar experience. I was first introduced to programming in my first semester of College in 2007. My first programming language was "C", I didn't really like it much because I didn't see the importance of it, since most of the programs I wrote were console programs. It wasn't until the following semester I was introduced to Java and the first basic assignment was to build a simple GUI with a button component. When the button is pressed it displays "hello world". After I compiled and executed the application I was blown away. I was like "Wow I made this!?!?" from then on my interest in programming skyrocketed and loved it ever since then and I knew I had found my passion. Fast forward 10 years later and I'm working as a Software Engineer and I love it!
