She could move this thing that she holds in her hand and open programs, video clips and music. after one week, I broke this object that you hold in your hand. when my aunt came she saw that I broke the item that you hold in your hand and she called it a "mouse", she grounded me and told me to never get close to her massive box that she called it a "computer". after a year, me and my family moved to Syria. when my birthday came my dad brought me a computer, it was my 2nd encounter with a computer. when I first started my computer it felt different when I was sitting on my aunts computer since I could break it or it could get dirty and nobody will yell or ground me. after a while, I got bored of painting and playing minesweeper so I decided to go to the game shop to buy a new game.

I learned an way to remove a virus but it was the easiest way possible, which is to format a computer but I didn't have a CD that could format a computer so I had to go to Computer Center and buy a Windows CD that I could format the computer without my dad noticing it. later, I followed the steps that came with the CD and completely formatted my computer. when I started the computer there was no sound and everything doesn't work, so I went back to the Computer Center and told them about my problem and they said that I need to buy a another CD that contains Computer Drivers which make everything work again. after installing all the driver and returned every program there was on the computer, it took me completely 4 hours to finish. after a while, my dad came and saw the computer and didn't notice anything different, that was how I started get into computer at age of 11. this moment was important in my life because if I didn't get a virus at that time then I wouldn't have got into repairing computers now. after 2 years, me and my family moved again but this time to USA, a different language and a different culture. when my dad told his niece that my son is good at computers and he was shocked because he was searching for worker to fix computer s in his store, so I began working and
