Isidore Nehemiah Bennett
WHO IS THIS?
"The basics really"
So my name's Isidore Bennett, second name Nehemiah. I currently stay in Florida in Johannesburg Roodepoort... Not Florida Miami unfortunately. I like what most people say they like on social media platforms, music, art, oxygen, the basics really.
"Little did Isidore know"
My childhood was amazing. I've attended 4 different primary schools, 4! I wasn't so fortunate in high school, only being able to attend just 1. Teachers saw potential in me and that's when I understood why old people complained about how poor our education system is. My greatest achievment in high school, hands down, was being told I had came 21st in my grade and I was like "Hey Kid! Maybe you do have potential." I did some Mathematics and Physics and even less accounting(good times). I had no expectations of going to varsity and had even considered working in a call centre.
"But little did Isidore know that his parents had greater plans for him."

My parents urged me to go to varsity and me that had already planned a career as a call centrerer...? had to quickly come up with a passion and I was like "Hey kid! You like listening to music and you like art don't you?" I had proposed the idea of studying Sound Engineering or something to my parental units.
"But little did Isidore know that his parents had EVEN greater plans for him."
- Morgan Freeman
I had to decide quickly and within the unspoken parameters my parents had for my life. And then I was like "Hey kid! Didn't you do Computer Applications Technology?" And that was that, a quick and acceptable decision(A∙B=1). My parents enrolled me in a little known tertiary institution called Belgium Campus "ITversity" all the way in Pretoria.
"Lol, silly boy"
And there I was, Varsity. Optimistic, confident, ready... Lol, silly boy.
The first time I had seen code, I almost had a stroke. How was I going to create a new operating
system? The next best social media platform? The next triple A game? Self aware Artificial
Intelligence that wipes out the human race? It was clear that doing CAT in high school hadn't
prepared me much for if statements and do-whiles. Off to a rocky start but I made it through
and even learnt how to use a ternary operator, what could be more difficult than a ternary
operator?...
