I am a lot younger than most of you, so just wanted to chime in.
Raspberry Pi has changed my life for the better.
Parents got me a Pi3 pi-top and for years that was the only computer I had any real admin access to. These circumstances forced me to learn Linux maintenance and troubleshooting, from scratch, on my own, without a mentor. Just Google and these Forums.
I never really did much GPIO stuff, but was always eager to try some new software or write a bit of shell script.
For many of you, Pi was a new way to use computer science, but for me it was a new and undiscovered world. Thanks to everybody for being who you are - for offering the right bits of advice sometimes, and at other times, for cleaning up behind me when I gave the wrong advice to a beginner.
Now I build things by day as an engineering student, but still write shell scripts by night. Held between two worlds is a fun place to be.
Thanks again to everyone. Because of you, countless other young people are just a bit more tech-literate, and at the scale of millions that starts to make a big difference.
