Openbook: Our Quest for a Safer Social Media Experience
I have had a Facebook account since 2009. Before then, I used Myspace for connecting with family and friends. I didn't even set up my first Myspace page. A friend did it in 2006 using a picture of me she had taken with her cellphone. Surprising me, she called me from her lunchbreak at work to give me my new account password. At the time, I don't think I even had an email, so she set me up with that as well. I was in no way shape or form 'internet savvy' at the time. I thanked her and that was my introduction to the 'social media challenge!'

Reasons to Become a Programmer
When you think of a programmer, you probably think of a person in a dark room with a lot of coffee and in front of a computer all day. Well, sometimes it is like that. But people do not see what programming can teach you. Programming is a beautiful thing. Programming is something that can make a person develop in various ways, like in creativity, patience, perseverance, optimism, organization, more attention to detail, more adaptability, logical thinking, and resourcefulness. All these I learned from learning programming. I am not the best programmer, but it did teach me all those things.
