The Mechanic

Patricia Watson was one of computer city's best automotive mechanics. She did not start out life wanting to be a mechanic. Patricia wanted to be a farmer but there was no money in it especially in computer city.

She grew up on her grandparents farm. He parents died young and then she was sent to live with her grandparents farm. That is when her dreams of carrying on the family business started.

On her grandparents farm they grew tomatoes and corn. And Patricia learned how to work on the farm equipment. Witch she enjoyed very much.

She attended computer city high and got good grades so she could go to a good farming college. One of her favorite activities to do on the farm was to bail hay. She would first cut the grass with a mower. She loved sitting out in the open air on a tractor and cutting the grass and feeling a sense of accomplishment.

She went off to college and she found a love of film making. She had never been much of a move watcher before but, now a college she watched as many movies as she had the time to watch. She had yet to make a film of her own or write a screen play but, she knew eventually she would. She just loved that with movies you could be taken to a fantasy world where anything with possible and magic could happen.

During college she also discovered a love of computer programing. She did not take any programming classes preferring to learn on her own and see if she could learn on her own. She did not have an overwhelming love of computing she just wanted to see if she indeed could make her own programs and she like bossing the computer around and she liked the idea that the computer would do exactly what she wanted it to do with no questing or back talk. She was the boss of the computer and the computer could do nothing about it. She dabbled in many programming languages before settling on two or three that she wanted to learn more about. She wish she had had more focus and started making programs right away the first day she started programming and not had wasted time with trying all those programming languages though. Why waste the time learning many programming languages and not making programs when the whole point of learning to programs was to make programs. It was unwise to waste time not making programs. She knew that she wanted to program video games and since she did not want to program with other people the games would have to be small and easy to play.
