ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ⚡Thanks for 5 years! ⚡ ✏️ 5 years ago on Saturday, September 7th 2019, I created this Scratch account, not knowing that it would change my life forever! M̲y̲ ̲S̲c̲r̲a̲t̲c̲h̲ ̲O̲r̲i̲g̲i̲n̲ ̲S̲t̲o̲r̲y̲ Right from the very start, I was very addicted to using Scratch, but back then, comparing my "newbie" projects to those similar to the likes of the Scratch veterans like @griffpatch, I felt left out, and worthless. Back when I first joined, I took so many things without providing credit. I claimed that fully-made games were my work when they were just backpacked from someone else's project. I kept going, and going, trying to keep up with everyone else, until I realized what I was doing. What I was doing... was wrong! I unshared all the projects that never were my own in the first place and began trying to learn how to animate, inspired by my favourite animators from back in the day, @-BoyMcBoy-, @huntedskelly, and @PotatoAnimator to name a few. I didn't know how to make thumbnails, animate, or even have a character to animate with! With help from @Meekaryo and a few other close friends, and I began animating on Scratch! Some of my early animations and other projects are still shared on this account! While others make for good cringe reaction-style projects where I take a look back at them. I kept working hard and didn't compare myself to others. Even today, I still see people copying other people's projects block-for-block without using credit, and I think quite a lot of people do this when they first start Scratch. They feel overwhelmed, and instantly feel like they need to compete for attention. The moral of my story is this, just keep working hard and focus on YOU! At times, I felt like maybe coding wasn't for me, but I persevered, and kept going with it! Later down the line in my Scratch journey, I got new opportunities to make my mark on the website. I got curated, trending, and even became a member of the ever-growing Front Page Curators for Scratch! W̲h̲e̲r̲e̲ ̲a̲m̲ ̲I̲ ̲n̲o̲w̲?̲ Well, I'm not leaving Scratch any time soon if that's what you're wondering! Don't worry. I have, however, started a College course in ICT! So, if anything, my activity on Scratch might just be a little bit less than usual sometimes. I want to personally thank all of you for making these 5 years on Scratch so great for me. Whether you've been here from the start when I was completely new to Scratch, or if you've supported me in recent times, you all mean so much to me. ╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌╌ If you do go on to enjoy this project, please take a moment to press the ❤️ & ⭐ icons below the screen!
