I started here at writing.com when I was just 16 years old. I can't believe how time has flown by! Believe it or not, the skills I've learned here have helped me tremendously as I've "grown up." From the good old-fashioned html-type formatting we used to use (with no shortcuts!) to nit-picky reviewing :) All of it helped me to become a Technical Writer/Editor after graduation! Now, I am a Research Analyst, and I still love to write and edit. I'll be a WDC member for life :)
