The Best way for me to start this is by giving you a taste of my personal experience....
In High School I wasn't particularly good at maths, in fact i would go as far as to say I sucked at it big time.I used to attend History class and try to find a way to avoid maths class as much as possible, even if it meant hiding in the Library. The next question is what about Computers, Life has a weird sense of Humor, although i was recommended to do all subjects ....Computer class was the only one i was rejected from. Looking Back i think i was Rejected due to the fact that although scoring high grades,i was always doing something else with the computer that was seen as "wasting time".

for me its computers.Life had another twist for me as i grew older, i went to University but the strange thing was I majored in Sociology..not Computer Science.
My Interactions with the Computer was relegated to simply writing papers and discovering you-tube. I never heard of Programming Languages...hackers were those cool persons in hoodies,who come in movies and controlled computers.To make matters worst i was from Jamaica, where computers at the time were expensive items, hence making my Programming quest almost dead at birth. I will attempt to skip most of the details.....so blah blah blah...i went to a conference in Jamaica,
Digital Jam (3.0 i think) and saw some (so-called wiz kid) being praised and lorded then decided to give this programming stuff a try.
One of the Many Blessings in my Life is my Girlfriend,In those early stages she gave me support and never doubted my abilities even when i doubted my own. When I told her i was going to create a Social network like Facebook...she said "you can do it", so i did,when i told her i was going to build my first app,"she said you can do it".This was during the time of my life when i had not even written my first line of code.
The Years has seen me grow in this field,currently added to my tool set has been Computer Graphic Design and i think i have gotten pretty decent at it (Thank God).
Personally Graphics is not a field i like due to is subjectivity,its a area where "blue" means different
as well as looks different depending on who it is that looks at it.
