Last year, a short e-mail forwarded by a school teacher placed me into an interesting situation. An invitation to sign up for the national computer programming competition. I never really considered entering it, until one of my friends asked me to.
Two weeks later, we had won our division, come third overall, and won a nice amount of money from it (it wasn't a bad return for two hours work).
I've never looked back.
Morgan Pozgar, a thirteen-year-old from Pennsylvania, won $25,000 at the LG National Texting competition by typing "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" in 15 seconds. [
