When I was in grade 5 I taught myself how to progam in the programming language named BASIC. Below is a listing of the first computer program that I ever wrote. I took care to transcribe the original spelling mistakes. You can also look at the original printout of this program.

10 PRINT "SOCCER" 20 PRINT "WHICH TEAM DO YOU WANT TO BE ON: ROCKETS, SUPRA OR STRIKERS?" 30 INPUT D$ 40 IF D$ = "ROCKETS" THEN GOTO 70 50 IF D$ = "SUPRA" THEN GOTO 80 60 IF D$ = "STRIKERS" THEN GOTO 90 70 PRINT "YOU SCORE THE WINNING GOAL" THEN GOTO 100 80 PRINT "YOUR TEAM MATE SCORES A GOAL" THEN GOTO 110 90 PRINT "YOU TEAM IS KICKED OUT OF THE GAME" THEN GOTO 120 100 PRINT "THE CROWED GOES WILD" THEN GOTO 130 110 PRINT "THE SCORE IS 7 TO 1 FOR THE OTHER TEAM" THEN GOTO 140 120 PRINT "FOR SWEARING AT THE REF" THEN GOTO 150 130 PRINT "YOU WIN THE GAME" THEN GOTO 150 140 PRINT "YOUR TEAM NEVER PLAYES ANOTHER GAME" THEN GOTO 150 150 END
