How could a kid, only twelve years old, have any type of success or independance at such an age? The answer I found to that question was a venture into the internet, more specifically web development. The creation of web pages was something I could control, something I could learn with almost no limitations because of my age. More importantly I found I enjoyed doing it. These factors have led me onto a path with many places to travel, while giving me the oppertunity to earn some money and enjoy myself, all while creating a bright future as a twelve-year-old.

There were many different things affecting my choice of web development as a hobby, some of which include how enjoyable it was, the potential for massive audiences to see my work and ideas, and the very low cost. It is relatively inexpensive to develop sites and publish them on the web for the entire world to see, and they can be very profitable as well. Developing web pages and applications has been a venue for displaying some of my other hobbies. Websites containing my football stats and digital photography have been well recieved by those who find them.

Because users from other countries around the world have viewed and interacted with my work I have met some very ineresting people, most of whom, have offered me their constructive criticsm. Those I meet through my sites generally teach me something, either about life or coding. This encounter is an adventure in itself, making it all the more rewarding to share my work. In the end many of my online-acquaintances ask me to design a page, or sometimes even a site for them; I do, normally for a fee. This is where my idea leaves me now, with many possible adventures in the future and many under my belt aswell.
