Wherever smart people work, doors are unlocked.
Teachers started recognizing me and praising me for being smart in science and that made me want to be even smarter in science!
If I designed a computer with 200 chips, I tried to design it with 150. And then I would try to design it with 100. I just tried to find every trick I could in life to design things real tiny.
What I was proud of was that I used very few parts to build a computer that could actually speak words on a screen and type words on a keyboard and run a programming language that could play games. And I did all this myself.
